## Overview

For the first round, the *Songbayanan* unanimously decides how many songs they will try to guess using the accumulated jackpot time from the first five games, up to a maximum of ten. If they hit their goal, their prize will be doubled (for example, if the *Songbayanan* decides to guess ten songs and correctly guesses ten songs within their time limit, they will receive two hundred thousand pesos [₱200,000]). Once they have set their target, they must guess the song titles using a word based on the *Songbayanan*, similar to the *Singko Segundo* challenge of the previous season. Furthermore, the number of unanswered song titles made in this round will be revealed and will be added to the number of songs the *Songbayanan* must guess in the second round the following day. If the *Songbayanan* achieves their target but does not fully use their timer, the unused time will be added to the next round.

For the second round, now using the accumulated jackpot time that they have gathered from the last five games (and the unused time from the first round if they have any), the *Songbayanan* must answer the remaining song titles on their board. Also, the *Songbayanan* is also given a **Golden Time Bonus**, which, when achieved by guessing the correct song title when the selected song title containing the bonus is approached and played, will add ten additional seconds to their jackpot timer. The *Songbayanan* will decide where they will put the bonus on the board before starting the round. This time, the resident band will not sing the song using a word based on the *Songbayanan* like in the first round; instead, they will just play the instrumental version of the song.

Once the *Songbayanan* successfully answers all twenty song titles, they will add two million pesos (₱2,000,000) to their pot, including the pot money that they have accumulated during the previous round, which will be shared with everybody. A potential bank of two million two hundred thousand pesos (₱2,200,000) can be banked by a *Songbayanan* if they reach their maximum target of ten correct song titles during the first round and if they answer the remaining ten song titles on the second round.

## Trivia

* Some groups place the bonus on the first song in order to immediately add ten seconds to their timer. However, if the number of songs to guess exceeds ten, some may be at a disadvantage because they may not have enough time to play back the songs using their banked time. This is common among all of the groups that played throughout the series: groups plan to immediately press their button to respond one second after the song has finished playing. This is their strategy until either all of the players have guessed or their time runs out.
