Only half-way through its maiden season in the Philippines, the show has become a fast favorite among viewers—with more and more people live-tweeting the show on Sunday nights.
The show’s distinct format is designed to keep everyone on their toes—from the contestants and the audience to the viewers at home and host Vic Sotto. To date, only two pairs of contestants have emerged victorious from The Million Peso Money Drop and both agree that being on the show has done wonders for their relationships.
Andrew and Ging Domingo took home PhP150,000 from the show—a sizeable addition to their savings to take their daughter to Hong Kong Disneyland next year. Fiancées Rema Mallillin and Jeremy Casaul also conquered The Drop and can now work on their dream wedding with their PhP100,000 take-home prize. Both pairs said they were tested while playing for The Million Peso Money Drop’s grand prize. “Hindi namin akalain yung pressure sa amin habang naglalaro. Malakas talaga dapat ang relationship ninyo kung sasali kayo sa Money Drop kasi sa level pa lang ng kaba, mapapadalawang-isip ka na sa mga sagot,” according to Andrew. “Confident kami ni Rema sa relationship namin and lumalabas talaga sa game kung paano kayo makitungo sa isa’t-isa. Kailangan open talaga ang communication para sa inyong dalawa and sa pera, ‘walang laglagan’,” Jeremy said.
On the other hand, certified Bossing of All Game Shows Vic Sotto is optimistic that more contestants will win big on The Million Peso Money Drop. “Gusto namin talagang magbago ang buhay nga mga sumasali sa show. Biruin mo—umpisa pa lang ng show, milyonaryo na sila (contestants). So nasa kanila na ang lahat. Kapag naglalaro though, diskarte na nila kung paano iuuwi yung one million pesos,” Sotto said. “Masaya kami na maganda ang tinatakbo ng show and tinatangkilik kami ng viewers,” he added.
