It didn't take long for the Kapinoy Network to come up with a game show to compete with Willie Revillame's Wowowin, which was moved to daily timeslot for GMA Telebabad block last February and Robin Padilla's Game ny Bayan which is premiered on the same date for ABS-CBN Kapamilya Gold block.

Based on AGB Nielsen's data, the Kapuso show is the leader in its timeslot. Kantar Media on the other hand says ABS-CBN's pre-primetime shows Pasion de Amor and new teleserye titled We Will Survive, and IBC-13's pre-primetime series Glory Jane got more viewers nationwide compared to Wowowin.

The TV ratings and game show "war" is expected to heat up as the new Kapinoy show will premiere on Monday.

Cash Cab Philippines will take over the timeslot of TreseBella's Cheer Up, Mr. Kim!, which was moving to 4:30 p.m. slot, replacing TreseBella's A Woman of Steel, which was aired its finale episode last March 4.

Cash 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 correctly, they win cash.

Hosted by Ryan Agoncillo as its host-slash-cabbie, with a lot of them filmed against popular landmarks in Manila. 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.

Cash Cab Philippines is the first locally produced show of cable channel AXN in this market and now on IBC-13. Which game show will you watch - Robin Padilla's Game ng Bayan, Willie Revillame's Wowowin or Ryan Agoncillo's Cash Cab Philippines?
