For the 25th American season, see Survivor: Philippines. For its first season of this version, see Survivor Philippines: Season 1.

Survivor Philippines was the Philippine edition of the Survivor franchise.

Its slogan, Pautakan, Pagalingan, Patatagan can be roughly translated to "Outwit, Outplay, Outlast" in Filipino. The prize for being the Sole Survivor (in addition to the title) is a cash prize of ₱3,000,000 (roughly $53,549.61) - the highest cash prize seen in a Philippine television game show.

History[]

The first season of Survivor Philippines aired in 2008, produced by GMA Network. Paolo Bediones hosted the first two seasons, before moving to TV5 following the second season.[1] He was replaced by Richard Gutierrez, who hosted the last two seasons. The series concluded after four seasons in February 2012.

Format Changes[]

Unlike the American version, which condensed the events of each cycle of 2–3 days into one episode, the Philippine version split each cycle into five 30-45 minute episodes. Normally, Reward Challenges are aired during a Monday or Tuesday episode, the Immunity Challenges on a Wednesday or Thursday episode, and Tribal Council on a Friday. Some Tribal Councils with a close vote ended with a cliffhanger, with the deciding vote revealed in the following Monday episode to extract the most suspense.

The Reunion Show was pre-recorded, and is separate from the live finale, where the winner is announced.

Unlike the American version, the name of the merged tribe was also determined by production.
