Case Values
The currency of the amounts on the money board, on the briefcases, and offered by the Banker to the contestants is in Philippine pesos (PHP). Throughout the show, the peso sign is never used in all of the amounts on the money board, on the briefcases, and offers by the Banker to the contestants. It is because of the limited font and/or character support for the actual peso sign (a P with one or two horizontal parallel bars on the vertically middle part of its ascendant).
On January 1, 2007, the PHP2,500 and PHP5,000 case values were replaced by the PHP75,000 and the PHP4,000,000 case values (the latter being the highest amount). On its second season, PHP2,500 and PHP5,000 came back in the board and new amounts like PHP250 and PHP250,000 appeared replacing the amounts, PHP750, PHP200,000, PHP300,000 and PHP400,000 of the first season together with the top amount of the season which is the PHP3,000,000.
The briefcase amounts reverted to the original ones for the third season. But later in the third season, the five highest values were replaced with P1,000,000 each, similar to the Million Dollar Missions of the American version.
On January 5, 2009, the case values for the P4M Edition were brought back into play at par with the new year.
For the fourth season, the PHP150 and PHP2,500 case values were removed. In replacement, this season introduced a special prize hidden in one of the briefcases. If a contestant opens this briefcase during the game, he/she will win this guaranteed special prize in favor of normally opening its case value afterwards. The Christmas Edition returned on December 1, 2012 with the PHP400 and P750 cases replaced with two more PHP300,000 into play.

I must find a verbal formula to combat the rise of brutality—the principle of order versus the split atom.” “What we often take to be family values—the work ethic, honesty, clean living, marital fidelity, and individual responsibility—are in fact social, religious, or cultural values. To be sure, these values are transmitted by parents to their children and are familial in that sense. They do not, however, originate within the family. It is the value of close relationships with other family members, and the importance of these bonds relative to other needs.” |
