The Weakest Link (Philippine game show)

The Weakest Link is a Filipino game show based on the original British format of The Weakest Link, which premiered on September 14, 2001 on Viva-TV on IBC-13 produced by Viva Television and ECM Productions and a follow-up to the success of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire in the country. The show followed the eight-player primetime format. If the highest amount was banked successfully in all seven rounds, the highest amount possible would be 1,000,000 Philippine pesos.

The Weakest Link was broadcast from 2001 to 2002 on the television network Intercontinental Broadcasting Corporation, produced by Viva Television, and was initially hosted by actor Edu Manzano. Known for his villainy roles and serious acting styles, Manzano made a good and fitting host of the show, contributing to its popularity. He was later replaced by comedian/singer Allan K in 2002. His humorous hosting stint (along with the fire that razed the original studio the show was taped) led its show to its demise on October 2002.

On June 30, 2012, the game show returned under a new home over Viva-TV, with lucky charm Luis Manzano as the new host.

Return
On June 2012, plugs about the "comeback" of The Weakest Link started airing on Viva-TV on IBC. Luis Manzano was also announced to host the show. A promo is being sponsored by the network in connection to its comeback. This time, it would run only on Saturdays at 7 pm instead of weekdays.
