context_page_description: Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? is a Philippine game show based on the original British format of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?. The main goal of the game is to win 2 million Philippine pesos by answering 12 multiple-choice questions correctly. There are four lifelines: 50:50, Phone A Friend, and Switch and Double Dip. The latter two replaced Ask the Audience, which was used until the 2010 season and of Phone-a-Friend until the 2012 season and reused for the 5th Incarnation replacing the People's Pick lifeline instead.
  Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? was broadcast from 2000 to 2002 on the government-sequestered Intercontinental Broadcasting Corporation, produced by Viva Television, and was hosted by actor Christopher de Leon.
  On May 23, 2009, the game show returned under a new home over TV5, with actor-host-comedian Vic Sotto as the new host.
  The show aired its season finale on October 7, 2012 to give way to another game show hosted by Sotto, The Million Peso Money Drop.
  However, the show returned on air September 15, 2013 for a new season together with Pinoy Explorer and Wow Mali! Pa Rin in exchange to the now defunct talent show Talentadong Pinoy.
context_section_description: In April 2009, plugs about the "comeback" of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? started airing on TV5. Vic Sotto was announced as the host of the show. A promo is being sponsored by the network in connection to its comeback.
  On January 9, 2010, Sharon Cuneta, who appeared in the previous incarnation became the first winner of the series after she correctly answered the final question worth ₱2,000,000. The following winner was Karl Jonathan Aguilar on September 18, 2011.
  The show returned September 15, 2013 with the High-risk Money Tree option, which has one safe haven amount of ₱20,000 and four lifelines are Fifty-fifty, People Speak (which replaced Ask the Audience) and Switch (previously the fourth lifeline, which later replaced the Phone-a-Friend in the classic money tree), in addition to a new lifeline: Double Dip. The Classic Money Tree has two safe havens at ₱20,000 and ₱150,000 and three lifelines:  Fifty-fifty, People Speak, and Switch.
  The Phone-a-Friend lifeline was also removed during this version.
  The third ₱2,000,000 winner was Eduardo Gaeilo Pajinag, Jr. on October 20, 2013.

  The show returned on May 10, 2015 with a brand new format. The program replaced the 15-question format with a new 12-question format. Money Trees were not named: instead they are just identified as Money Tree 1 and Money Tree 2, respectively. To distinguished both Money Trees, the first one has two "Safe Havens" (Question #2 and #7) and it has 3 Lifelines (Phone-A-Friend, Switch and Double Dip). Meanwhile, Money Tree 2 have only 1 "Safe Haven" (Question #2) and 4 Lifelines (Phone-A-Friend, Switch, Double Dip and Fifty-Fifty). The "People Speak" lifeline from the preceding version was removed and it was replaced by the returning Phone A Friend.
