TV5’s rebranding is anchored in providing Filipinos with inspiring and entertaining shows especially in these trying times. Its recent merger with Cignal, the leading direct to home (DTH) satellite provider, has seen TV5 beefing up its programming with the launch of exciting new programs.
Bawal na Game Show (BNGS) is the comic relief that we need now, as it pokes lighthearted fun at our current situation. The pandemic has forced us to conform to a new set of rules that make up the “new normal” way of living. But what if following every single rule can win you a huge amount of cash prize? Well, that’s exactly what BNGS is all about.
Hosted by talented and well-loved comedians Wally Bayola and Paolo Ballesteros, the game show revolves around making sure that the contestants do as they’re told. Wally and Paolo—as twins Bebe Gurl and Barby Gurl, respectively—will present challenges to the contestants, but they will also distract and goad the players to break the rules.
In Bawal na Game Show, teams of two will have to follow specific rules, ranging from easy to difficult ones. These could be as simple as not laughing, not blinking, or not singing along to popular songs. The last pair standing will take home the grand prize of Php100,000.
The show aims to bring its one-of-a-kind game experience to its audiences. They will not only enjoy watching the show from the comforts of their home, but they also get the chance to participate as home partners of the studio contestants. The mechanics will be revealed in the pilot episode.
Bawal Na Game Show promises to be jam-packed with fun and laughter courtesy of Wally and Paolo’s tried and tested abilities in comedy and hosting. Watching them will surely help ease one’s burdens and ward off negativity.
While the “new normal” may prove to be challenging to all, Bawal Na Game Show hopes to show that following rules is vital in winning in this pandemic as a nation. It intends to provide a much-needed respite from all the “bawals” and to bring entertainment to viewers. This is quite timely as television can be an effective platform in spreading hope and optimism to Filipinos.
Bawal na Game Show premieres on August 15, 2020 between 7:00 – 8:00 PM, back-to-back with TV5’s Fill in the Banks! Henceforth, it’ll be airing every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday at 7:30 PM on TV5.
