Kapamilya, Deal or No Deal is the Philippine franchise of Deal or No Deal, hosted by Pilipinas, Game KNB? host, Kris Aquino, which premiered on June 5, 2006 on ABS-CBN. The grand prize is PHP2,000,000. The game show's tagline is "Ang Kapalaran mo, Desisyon Mo" which in turn translates in English as "Your Fate, Your Decision." This is the first weekday primetime game show in the Philippines since the so-called primetime game show craze died down in late 2002, with Pilipinas, Game KNB?, the last remaining show among the weekday primetime game shows, reformatted into a daytime one after a relatively brief hiatus (although it had a primetime spinoff called Pasko Na, Game KNB? for two weeks on December 2005 to January 2006).
The first season of the show is supposed to run until August 25, 2006, to give way to another Endemol-produced program Pinoy Dream Academy, but it was expanded for two more weeks. However, on August 30, 2006, which was within the supposed penultimate week of the show's first season, it was again announced that the show's run would be extended again due to its popularity; this time it was an indefinite extension. The network executives in a press interview recently announced that the show will have a break on January 2007.
