Pinoys’ skills put to test for shot at P1 million

Do you think you can knock over a pyramid of beverage cans using rubber bands or pull all tissues out of a box one by one, using only one hand—all under one minute? Complete tasks

like these using everyday household items in less than one minute and you can win P1 million in ABS-CBN’s newest game show Minute to Win It.

From the international production company that brought you the local versions of The Biggest Loser and MasterChef, Minute to Win It made waves in the United States and around the world for its highly addictive and nerve-wracking games that challenge ordinary people to hone their skills for a chance to change their lives. It has been franchised in 40 countries, including Australia, India and the United Kingdom.

The Philippine version of Minute to Win It will be hosted by Luis Manzano. Contestants take part in a series of challenges that utilize readily available items at home, school and the office, in less than one minute each. With each level increasing in difficulty and cash prize, contestants will have to decide if they stop playing and take the money they’ve earned, or continue for a shot at P1 million.

Try-outs for the game show will begin on January 7 and 8, 8 a.m. at the ABS-CBN Center Road in Quezon City for those 18 years old and above.

Watch out for Minute to Win It this January on ABS-CBN. For updates on the program,
