  Changes

Second season changes

Aside from the revamp of the money board in the second season, set designs were changed.

• The podium where the button was found has been modified. The button itself now resembles a siren. It looked like a sink and also lights up whenever the phone rings.
• The landscape behind the 26K had been changed from a night cityscape to a sunset scene with columns. The staircase where the 26K stand also had columns and two more flights of stairs. Because of this, the models could appear from behind and at the side of the staircase.
• The entrance of the 26K whenever Kris asked them to bring down the cases changed. The 26K theme was modified and became longer. There was also choreography included aside from the typical modeling entrance of the girls. The audience also clapped along with the entrance of the girls.
• There was a bridge connecting from the Banker's skybox. It bore the show's logo. The bridge still exists in the succeeding seasons.
• The money board now had an illuminated frame.
• The telephone resembled the one used in the US version, only she placed the phone buttons-down. It had a pyramid-shaped base and a disc below the base which lights up like the podium.
• The vault door was nowhere to be found. Instead, Kris comes out from a room at the back of the set.
• The section for the player's companions was a metal bench.
• The staircase was much higher than it used to be.
• The theme color of the set was red.
• As the show ended, ten girls entered from the back of the staircase and wave at the audience in silhouette.

  Third season changes

While the money board reverted to the first-season values, there were also many changes applied for the third season:

• The steps on which the 26K stand became larger with the background changed to a futuristic night skyline and simple boards replacing the pillars.
• The music accompanying the 26K's entrance has also been altered to a more electronic sound. Meanwhile, a brass band, dubbed "Ang Parokya ni Banker" has been added to provide additional music, especially whenever a seven-digit amount is revealed. Along with the band are majorettes, who mock the contestant by saying "Ubos na" when both seven-digit figures have been revealed.
• The stage itself is also considerably smaller and more circular.
• The podium where the contestant stands is considerably smaller, even resembling a moped's front end. The Deal button and the telephone used in the second season are still being used.
• The section for the player's companions is a circular couch. Furthermore, there is a retractable bridge under the area which connects it with the main stage. The bridge appears whenever the companions enter the studio through a pair of sliding doors behind the couch after being called in by the host.
• The main theme color of the set has been reverted to black/gray, but the gold rectangles for the briefcase values, the Banker's offer, and even the show's logo are now made with a shiny background.
• While the small monitor behind the contestant is retained, a third display monitor has been added beside the Banker's skybox. Its function is the same as the aforementioned smaller monitor: show the Banker's current offer. Sometimes, during the beginning of the show and in between offers, random images appear in the said third monitor.
• A camera is placed behind the Banker, bounded by acrylic glass.
• The contestant now enters from a single set of doors from the back of the studio; Kris entered from the same doors during the first few episodes of the third season, but later resorted to appear on stage from the start. This set of doors is different from the one behind the companions' area mentioned earlier.

  Fourth season changes

• The main theme color for the whole studio is dark midnight blue. This makes a new dramatic feel that contrast to previous seasons which had a lighter tone. The audience is more camouflaged behind the dark colors.
• The steps of the 24K are sleeker and wider.
• The stage is noticeably less circular, similar to the stage used in season two.
• The landscape behind the 24K is now a simple layer of strings not like the past seasons.
• The flights of the staircase for the 24K have a light of blue color.
• The briefcases are now in black color and the numbers are white.
• The host will call on the contestant with his/her companions then the host will call on the 24K. In past seasons, the 26K would be called first before the contestant.
• The telephone resembles a back-to-basics rotary dial red telephone similarly used in other franchised countries, particularly the British edition, although it is cordless like the previous telephones used in the show. The style is to take into account that the new Banker is the hat-wearing "father" of previous Banker, informally called "Banker Sr."
• The Eurostile font previously used in the briefcase values and the displayed values on the screens are replaced by Impact and Verdana. Eurostile is still used in the show's television advertisements however.

  Fifth season changes

• The total briefcases is now 20, instead of 24.
• The 26K/24K Girls in the past seasons are no longer part of the new season.
• For one two three and four batches of Lucky Stars, a roulette is used in this season, called Gulong ng Tala determining who will play among the 20 Lucky Stars, a first on the show.
• The telephone was resembled back to the original one, applied in the US show, although its base is symmetrical to the phone itself.
• The font of the displayed values has been changed.
• 20 Lucky Stars are now holding the briefcases.
• The player of the day will come from the 20 Lucky Stars.
• The top prize for this season is PHP1,000,000.
• The banker is female instead of male.
• This season is like the Deal or no Deal US Syndicate, except the cases are 20, instead of 22.
• The price was distributed to half to the contestant and to the chosen charity.
• Animations of graphical elements on video displays of the show have been changed.
• It was being Held in a Barangay where the Banker was sat inside at a Barangay OutPost.

  Models

Kapamilya, Deal or No Deal features a wide variety of models over the course of its five seasons. The first three seasons featured the 26K girls which, unlike the U.S. counterpart, can handle any case per episode instead of being placed in a permanent position. Its most notable models include Charmel de Asis, who was notorious for holding the high or jackpot amounts and was the Banker's Ace, and Chloe McCulley who went on to compete at the inaugural Miss World Philippines 2011 pageant and placed third to eventual Miss World 2011 1st Runner-up Gwendoline Ruais.
In the fourth season, the show featured a new set of models known as the 24K alluding to the number of cases played per game. The fifth season was the first to feature celebrities as the case models, known as the 20 Lucky Stars, which were done in four batches and are the players of the episode once chosen by the Gulong ng Tala.

Text promos

''Kapamilya, Katext''

On July 10, 2006, a text-messaging game was introduced as a new segment of the show for the viewers to participate and win cash prizes. In Katext, Deal or No Deal, there are 10 special briefcases with amounts starting from PHP5,000 to P50,000, one of which is randomly selected for play. After a briefcase is chosen, 2 briefcases are randomly opened, after which the Banker makes an offer to buy the suitcase in play. Viewers can text whether they want to "Deal", signifying that they accept the banker's offer, or "No Deal", meaning they will accept whatever amount is in the suitcase. In the next episode, the suitcase is opened to reveal the amount it contains. If the amount in the suitcase is lower than the offer, one winner will be selected from those who texted "Deal", with the Banker's offer as the prize. If the amount in the suitcase is higher than the offer, one winner will be selected from those who texted "No Deal" to take home the amount in the suitcase. The winner is chosen each day from those who texted via electronic raffle. The amounts are:

• 5,000
• 10,000
• 15,000
• 20,000
• 25,000
• 30,000
• 35,000
• 40,000
• 45,000
• 50,000

On November 13, 2006, a segment was made that was named: Kapamilya, Katext, Deal or No Deal. The range of the amounts inside the case still increased by PHP5,000 starting from PHP10,000, but the highest amount inside the case is PHP100,000. Same procedures still apply, but have been modified. On Monday, one briefcase and another has been chosen. The next day after the chosen briefcase has been opened, another briefcase is chosen, and the banker's offer is based on the briefcases already opened the previous day. This new process continues throughout the week. The amounts are:

• 10,000
• 15,000
• 20,000
• 25,000
• 30,000
• 35,000
• 40,000
• 45,000
• 50,000
• 100,000

  ''Ka-Text, Deal or No Deal''

Along with the show's return, a new promo was launched, named after the first text promo Ka-text, Deal or No Deal, wherein home viewers can win half of either what the contestant has won or the contents of the chosen briefcase. Viewers can text the contestant's possible final response of "Deal" or "No Deal." Texting stops after the contestant has made his/her final decision. The next day, a winner is chosen from those who texted; if the contestant's final decision is "No Deal," only those who text the same response would win. On the other hand, when the contestant says "Deal," all who texted will be considered, regardless of response; what the winner would receive depends on the response.
In the show's third season, the rules were modified. Viewer could text "Deal" if the accepted offer was larger than the contents of the chosen briefcase or "No Deal" if the briefcase contents is larger than the accepted offer or the Banker's final offer if the contestant decides to say "No Deal" all the way. The correct response would depend on the outcome of the game; only those who text the correct response are eligible for prizes: P20,000 for the daily winners or P200,000 for the monthly winner. The promo was relaunched later with the same daily prizes, but this time, a Nissan Navara was up for grabs as the grand prize.

Unnamed text promo

In a third promotion, this time using the show's title, viewers were invited to guess which briefcase contained P3,000,000. Those who correctly guessed the said briefcase would win PHP25,000 plus a "nochebuena" package.

''Tulong sa Barangay''

Prior to the start of the 4 Million Edition, a commercial of the show was released where barangay captains were invited to join and play as studio contestants. The aim of Tulong sa Barangay is to provide help for the needs and developments of different barangays in the Philippines by allowing the barangay captains to play as studio contestants and whatever the barangay captain will get, it will be donated to the barangay funds. A different set of text messaging instructions are given for interested barangay captains. The first episode involving barangay captains began on February 6, 2007.

''Kapamilya, Deal or No Deal sa Cebu''

On November 30 to December 1, 2007, the show finally made its first out-studio episodes at the parking lot of SM City Cebu. The stage made for the show was noticeably larger, having a larger stage and two large staircases where the models stood. The Banker would stand at the screen behind the staircases obscured by a red clouded background. He only appeared in front of his "helicopter" whenever he made his offer.
The episodes were shown from December 3 to 7 of the same year. One of the contestants happened to be the mayor of Toledo City, Cebu, who played as a regular contestant.

The banker spoke to him over the phone and congratulated him while Kris Aquino asked for Cua's necklace and shared the closing announcement of Deal or No Deal with him in the episode. The final three unopened values were the three highest prizes and the final two briefcases contained the two highest amounts. The banker's last offer was PHP1,400,000.
4	February 19, 2007	Robert Jaworski	Deal	1,000,007	Former senator and PBA player Robert Jaworski has the largest amount won by a celebrity player, although his briefcase contained PHP2,000,000. The amount of PHP1,000,007 was offered twice. In fact, some of the other offers either contain his former jersey number or have its digits add up to it.
5	July 10, 2007	Jennel Montero	No Deal	1,000,000	The last unopened briefcase contained PHP500,000, and the banker's last offer is PHP600,000. Jennel is the first millionaire of the second season, and the third ever person to win a seven-digit prize in a No Deal situation.

Allen was still declared by Kris as "Lucky" because his final position resulted after removing the last two small values still in play. According to Allen, his father was supposed to join, but the father urged him to join instead.
7	September 5, 2007	Jerhan Mama-O	No Deal	2,000,000	Jerhan is the first winner of at least PHP1,000,000 from Mindanao, from Marawi City. His choice of briefcase is purely by gut feel and while he did eliminate the two other seven-digit values in the first round, he firmly believed on the would-be contents of the briefcase to the end. As Jerhan is Muslim, the Banker's last offer is PHP999,999, which was based from the 99 names of God according to Islam. Jerhan also correctly predicted where the two other unopened values were hidden; he eliminated the PHP1 briefcase before the Banker gave his final offer.
8	October 2, 2007	Rene Lamprea	Deal	1,250,000	Although omens from his late younger brother compelled him to choose briefcase #5, the hare-lipped contestant decided to follow his wife's advice to take the offer. His chosen briefcase contained only PHP400 ; he was also the first regular contestant since the show's time slot was moved to 6:00pm; seven celebrities played before him, two of them accepting six-digit offers from the Banker.
9	October 16, 2007	Melody Macol	No Deal	1,000,000	The Banker's final offer was PHP499,000, the unopened briefcase contained PHP250,000. Coincidentally, her chosen briefcase was Briefcase #9, the same numbered briefcase Kris chose when she played four days before and won only PHP50.
10	October 22, 2007	Aiko Melendez	Deal	1,000,000	According to the actress and Quezon City 2nd District Councilor, her prize is for the benefit of several patients in the East Avenue Medical Center. Although her briefcase contained PHP3,000,000, the other unopened amount is PHP50,000. She is also the second celebrity player to win at least PHP1,000,000.
11	November 6, 2007	Kim Atienza	No Deal	1,000,000	The Banker's final offer is PHP400,000, which according to him, is the life span in years of the quahog clam. The other unopened amount was PHP25,000.
12	December 12, 2007	Maria Rosario Odabel	No Deal	1,000,000	The last unopened amount is PHP250,000. She kept all six-digit amounts and PHP1,000,000 after opening the last small amount.
13	November 3, 2008	Anthony Solis	No Deal	1,000,000	He opened many amounts lower than PHP100,000 in the first two rounds, which continued until the third when he opened the PHP300,000. Even though he opened the PHP2,000,000, his luck still continued that by the penultimate round, he opened the last small amount of PHP150. After he opened the PHP200,000, he was given the final offer of PHP490,000, which he refused. The last unopened amount was PHP100,000. He was the first millionaire of the third season.
14	November 17, 2008	Rey Beltran	Deal	1,100,000	He opened the final low amount, PHP50, in the eight round, leaving the PHP200,000, PHP400,000, and PHP2,000,000 still in play. He was offered PHP780,000, which he refused. In the final round, the PHP400,000 was opened, and this amount sufficed. His chosen briefcase contained PHP200,000. The reason for the non-exact amounts was because he was tithing some of his winnings for the Christian fellowships he was supporting.
15	November 25, 2008	Aiko Melendez & Candy Pangilinan	No Deal	1,000,000	Playing as a team, the two actresses had a final offer of PHP345,001, which they refused. They incidentally picked one of the five briefcases that each contained PHP1,000,000. The last unopened briefcase contained PHP10. Their game was their second appearance in the show; each of their first games ended in bad deals, albeit taking home six- and seven-digit prizes respectively. The two were jointly declared as the 15th millionaire and the first team to win a seven-digit prize.
16	December 1, 2008	Jhaphet Flordeliza	No Deal	1,000,000	He was first offered PHP466,000 with PHP50 and two PHP1,000,000 briefcases still in play in the penultimate round, but refused. When the second to the last PHP1,000,000 was opened, the Banker lowered his offer to PHP150,000. Upon advise from his father, Jhaphet said "No Deal," and won the PHP1,000,000. He was the first and only regular contestant to become a millionaire for the 2008 Christmas Edition.
17	December 11, 2008	Arnel Pineda	No Deal	1,000,000	He was the second ever internationally known celebrity to play in the game and the fourth celebrity to win the million pesos. He won this amount even after opening the four other million-peso briefcases and refusing the final offer of PHP249,999. The last unopened briefcase contained PHP200. He was in the Philippines to spend his Christmas in his homeland while his band, the American band Journey, was taking a tour break. He is the third celebrity millionaire.
18	January 12, 2009	Judy Ann Santos & Ryan Agoncillo	Deal	1,000,030	After the eighth round, with PHP4,000,000, PHP1,000,000, and PHP75 still in play, they were offered PHP1,150,000, but the Banker promised to increase the offer to PHP1,500,000 if their manager Alfie Lorenzo would join them; they both refused to both offers. After opening the PHP1,000,000 in the final round, they were offered this amount, which they accepted to play it safe after the loss of their final "safety net." Their chosen briefcase contained only PHP75. The additional PHP30 referenced the total of the prizes two previously in won each of their first appearances. They intended to use their winnings for their campaign to have the movie Ploning included in the official nominee list for the Best Foreign Language Film in the 81st Oscar Awards.
19	January 28, 2009	Maribuena Noche	Deal	1,075,600	Her game went so well that only her mother was brought out to cheer her on as based from experience relatives were known to reverse the luck of one's game. After the eighth round, when she eliminated PHP10, she was offered this amount with PHP1, PHP500,000, and PHP4,000,000 still in play. She accepted the offer upon the suggestion of her mother. Unbelievably, it turned out that her briefcase contained only PHP1 with a potential final offer of PHP275,000 after seeing that the potential final briefcase she would have opened contained PHP4,000,000. The extra PHP75,600 was a reference to Maribuena's mother's medical bills.
20	February 2, 2009	Gerald Anderson & Jake Cuenca	No Deal	2,000,000	Initially having a bad game by having the PHP4,000,000 opened in the first round and revealing many six-digit prizes afterwards, they later had a game so good that they were given a final offer of PHP838,000, with the PHP2,000,000 and PHP75,000 still in play. They refused the offer and won the two million. Gerald and Jake, leading men of the show Tayong Dalawa, were the third pair of returning celebrities to win a seven-digit prize as a unit and the one with the largest winnings. Also, their separate first appearances were in team games with different partners: Gerald with Kim Chiu in the first season and Jake with Roxanne Guinoo in the second. Probably to prevent any misunderstanding, all of the companions brought in to cheer and help them were men. Ironically in the fourth season, Gerald Anderson reappeared only winning one peso.
21	February 16, 2009	Christopher Viray	Deal	1,600,000	After eliminating the last low amount, PHP400, he was soon given large six- and seven-digit offers, starting with PHP750,000, and then PHP1,050,000, both of which he refused. After eliminating PHP500,000, he was offered this amount, with PHP4,000,000 and PHP75,000 still in play. Upon the advice of his companions, especially his elder brother, he accepted the offer. However, despite the fact that his chosen briefcase contained the top prize of PHP4,000,000, he currently holds the distinction of winning the highest Banker's offer that has been accepted by a contestant in the show.
22	August 18, 2012	Kean Cipriano & Enchong Dee	No Deal	1,000,000	The Banker's final offer was PHP420,000 and the other unopened amount was PHP10. They were the first millionaire of the fourth season
23	December 29, 2012	Janice de Belen	No Deal	1,000,000	The Banker's final offer was PHP563,855 and the other unopened amount was PHP25,000.
24	June 8, 2013	Boy Abunda	Deal	1,186,003	According to him, he will take the risk saying No Deal but his priority is his chosen charity and therefore accepting this offer. His briefcase's amount was PHP2,000,000 and the other unopened amount was PHP5.
25	August 31, 2013	Genelyn Sandaga	Deal	1,123,000	Her briefcase's amount was PHP2,000,000 and the other unopened amount was PHP25,000.
26	March 23, 2015	Bearwin Meily	No Deal	1,000,000	The Banker's final offer was PHP614,000 and the other unopened amount was PHP 100,000. He was the first millionaire of the fifth season.
27	April 17, 2015	Ara Mina	No Deal	1,000,000	After eliminating the PHP500, she was given an offer of PHP407,000 which she refused. The last 3 lowest amounts were PHP100, PHP500,000, and PHP1,000,000. When she eliminated the PHP500,000, the offer went down to PHP355,000 which she refused. She was the second millionaire for the fifth season of the show.
28	August 14, 2015	Bela Padilla & Joyce Bernal	No Deal	1,000,000	The Banker's final offer was PHP699,000 and the other unopened amount was PHP400,000. They were the third millionaire of the fifth season.
29	September 7, 2015	Kaye Abad & Nikki Valdez	No Deal	1,000,000	The Banker's final offer was PHP510,000 and the other unopened amount was PHP50,000. They were the fourth millionaire of the fifth season.
30	January 8, 2016	Janine Tugonon	No Deal	1,000,000	The Banker's final offer was PHP650,000 and the other unopened amount was PHP300,000. She is the fifth millionaire of the fifth season and first millionaire of 2016.

So far, only Terry Lim Cua, Allen Paul Aguada, Jerhan Mama-O, and the team of Gerald Anderson and Jake Cuenca won the largest amount, which is PHP2,000,000.

Statistics

• Largest amount won: PHP2,000,000
• Highest potential offer: PHP2,250,000
• Highest banker's offer accepted: PHP1,600,000

  Parodies

• Toni Gonzaga of Gudtaym hosted "Kapamilya Meal or No Meal," which was a parody of the show. Filipinos from low income brackets were invited to the studio to play for the meal they wish to eat. The contestants were literally not given dinner to eat before the game. In the pilot episode, the contestant won and got to eat tuyo. The prizes were lechon with PHP6,000, tinolang manok with PHP3,000, adobong daga, tuyo and asin.
• Wazzup Wazzup of Studio 23 also came up with a parody dating segment titled "Kazupista, Feel or No Feel". There is also a similarly named segment of TV5's Lokomoko High named "Feel or No Feel," but this time involving underwear.
• TV5's Wow Maling Mali, hosted by Joey de Leon, impersonating Kris Aquino, made a spoof named "Kabaranggay, Beer or No Beer", with some males as the crossdressing version of the 26K, and a go go dancing-Banker in a covered cage, offering beer in exchange with the briefcases.
• John En Shirley, a sitcom aired on the same network, featured an episode where one of the title characters, John H. Puruntong played as a contestant of the game show. The episode was aired on September 16, 2006. John fought for his briefcase until the end, refusing the banker's offer of PHP101,000. His briefcase contained PHP200,000, while the other remaining briefcase contained PHP1.
• When the Commission on Elections opened the filing of candidacy for the midterm senatorial elections in the Philippines last January 15, 2007, several individuals applied for candidacy, even those that are considered nuisance candidates like a certain Daniel Magtira who introduced himself as Kris Aquino's husband. After two days, a certain Julieto Esmeralda Sr., who claims to be both a pastor and a businessman, filed his candidacy referring to himself as Mr. Deal signifying his aiming of building a culture of optimism to prevail among Filipinos. He was quoted on National TV saying "“I want people to know that the answer to everything is always ‘deal’, walang laban o bawi, always ‘deal’," referring to the Laban o Bawi segment of GMA-7's Eat Bulaga!.
• Noynoy Aquino, Kris Aquino's brother and a senatorial candidate for the 2007 Philippine Midterm Elections, released a "Deal or No Deal" inspired political advertisement for television. In the commercial, Kris recalled how strict Noynoy was as well as how hard he struggled to take care of the family as requested by their father Ninoy Aquino prior to their father's assassination. Kris even made a "Deal" pose and catchphrase in the last part of the commercial, signifying her way of convincing the voters to vote for him. Ironically, Noynoy's response to Kris in the ad was "Ayos, Game Na", inspired from the catchphrase of Kris Aquino's game show Pilipinas, Game KNB?. Noynoy won the senate race and landed on the 6th out of 12 slots.
• On the October 12, 2007 episode, McDonald's Philippines launched its advertisement featuring Kris Aquino playing "Meal or No Meal" over the counter with a McDonald's cashier. The McDonald's crew featured in the commercial were holding trays instead of briefcases containing the "value meals" that can be selected by patrons of the fast food chain. The restaurant chain also had a raffle promotion in which its winner eventually played in the show.

  Criticisms

• Philippine Daily Inquirer columnist Nestor U. Torre expressed disappointment on the show because it is not "all that spellbinding and empathetic" since the briefcase a contestant has chosen would keep it to the end. Also, he pointed out that the format of the show limited Aquino's effectivity as a host.
• In his January 18, 2007 column, Nestor U. Torre expressed that the game show makes it so difficult for its players to win big because it's based on sheer luck, with a player's fate being sealed by the choice he makes of a particular briefcase to place his hopes on at the start of the game. He cited that another major factor that reduces players’ winnings is the “greed” motive that pushes contestants to reject already substantial deals from the show's resident “banker,” because they want to make even more money by pushing the game into the next round. However, Torre does recognize that subsequent contestants were the first to benefit from the game show's beefed-up top prize and will bring new excitement in everyone involved—the contestants, the studio audience, and the host. He mentioned that the move to double the game's pot sets the show apart from other game programs, many of which offer a couple of million pesos in potential top winnings. With its P4 million pot for the 2007 run of the first season, he pointed out that it is now the best game show to beat.
• The July 14, 2006 episode featuring psychic Rene Mariano became controversial when the host complemented Rene's abilities because the latter predicted the end of the career of Hero Angeles, Star Circle Quest grand champion, at Morning Girls with Kris and Korina. Hero and his brother reacted at GMA-7's Startalk saying that the host's remarks were unnecessary and foul.

  ''World Tour'' U.S. episode

In April 2008, the U.S. version of Deal or No Deal filmed an episode from the studio of the Filipino version, as part of a series of "World Tour" episodes showcasting international entries in the franchise. The episode was conducted in a similar manner to the U.S. version of the format, featuring an American contestant and prizes in U.S. dollars. Kris Aquino joined U.S. host Howie Mandel as co-host. The episode premiered on NBC in the U.S. on May 5, 2008, and aired on ABS-CBN on June 22; although it was actually the last of the "World Tour" episodes to actually be filmed, ABS-CBN business unit head Alou Almaden stated that Endemol USA "loved the episode so much" that it was aired first instead.
ABS-CBN's PR campaign for that event also earned the show a Philippine Quill Award of Merit in the same year.
