IBC 13’s “Cash Cab Philippines” to go up against “Game ng Bayan” and “Wowowin”

Posted on March 4, 2016 in News

It seems like IBC 13 came up with a new show to compete with GMA Network’s Wowowin and ABS-CBN’s Game ng Bayan in the form of its upcoming daily game show, the Philippine version of Cash Cab Philippines to be hosted by Ryan Agoncilo.

The good news was revealed on Express Balita’s Thursday (March 3, 2016) episode, where IBC-13 entertainment correspondent interviewed Ryan about his upcoming project.

Ryan also announced the launch of the upcoming Kapinoy game show through an Instagram post on Friday (March 3, 2016) which was captioned with,

Casb Cab is an Emmy Award-winning game show where the taxi driver/host asks unsuspecting passengers a series of trivia and general knowledge questions. For every question answered correstly, they win cash.

Passengers get 15 seconds to answer, two shoutouts aka the show's version of call-a-friend. Three wrong answers and passengers get booted out of the cab and return whatever they've won until that point of the ride. The premiere season of Cash Cab Philippines will have 13 episodes, with a lot of them filmed against popular landmarks in Manila.

According to the press statement Coconuts Manila received, Cash Cab Philippines is the first locally produced show of cable channel AXN in this market and now on IBC-13. To that, we say an enthusiastic mabuhay, plus an emphatic good luck to Ryan as he will need to navigate hell that is Metro Manila traffic.
