 Ang karunungan ay kapangyarihan. Now, let's put that power to the test. It's time for... K-Check! One, I'm Attorney Gaby Kansyapsyon. Remember, the attorney, not the artista. Ako po, si O.J. Sarkinia, this is K-Check. The newest and smartest game show on Philippine television. We searched all over the country for people na hindi nagsasawang dagdagan ang kanilang kaalaman. Dito po sa K-Check, kung gaano katalas at katindi ang brainpower nila. And in the final week of competition, malalaman natin kung sino ang tatanghaling ka una-unahang K-Check champion. Apatakontestans ang dadaan sa ating karunungan check sa araw na to. Unang una si Angela, she's a professional dancer, a member of UP Street Dance Club and the crew PH.

Well, I think they can do so much better and malayo pa ang kanilang tatahakin sa show na ito para patunayan ang kanilang galing. I think it's time to talk to our panel of experts and I would like to talk to Professor Wendell and ask him what he thinks of the competition so far. I think they're trying to warm up because at this point in competition, hindi pa sila masyadong nacha-challenge. I think the challenge is for them to be fired up for the second round and I think they can make it all the way to the next round as well. Right. Prof. Wendell, among our contestants, do you want to ask a question? See, Dana, I'm just curious that you're a nursing major. Yes, pa. Bakit nursing yung pinilimong gawing profession? Actually, nursing pa. It is actually my passion and I want to help other people, especially po yung mga people na mga malalayo po yung lugar at hindi pa afford na makapunta po sa mga hospitals. At alam natin merupang pandemia so kailangan natin ng marami pa ang mga Dana sa buong Pilipinas. Ma-arguing po kayong sumali sa K-check at contact people from TV UP kung gusto niya po sumali. So, salamat. At pa din na rin natin at mananalo din ang sagot ni Dane sa Miss Universe pageant. Tama. Pero gusto rin natin tanong yan. Alam mo, nai-interest ako. Kay Angela, who is a dancer? Paano mo naman na pag mimix ang dancing at mga academics and joining contests like K-check? It's very ito. You have to balance basically, kailangan mo natin yung katawan ko into being a daughter, a student and also an athlete. So, I just found out K-check from a friend and heard it was fun. Looks like it. I'm enjoying the process and we'll get there. Yes, Angela. I have faith in you and I'm sure you will dance your way to your success in the future. In the meantime, let us do a point recap. Angela has zero points. Riza has zero points. Dane and Ron have 10 points each. As I said a while ago, malayo pa ang laban at pwede-ng-pwede pa kayong magdag-dag sa inyong points. And I'm sure yung mga viewers natin nakukani na pa nakikisagot yan, di ba? Kayong laban. So, sa atin mga audience, how did you do against the contestant? Standaan nyo. You're not subject to the same my lights at may stress, di ba? I'm sure at home, they're relaxed, they're enjoying a K-check and trying to answer as many questions as possible. But ready na ba sila? Ready na ba sila at turnigami? Our next round, ready na ba kayo para sa pabilisan round? That's next. Here on K-check. Ang karunungan check at ito ang ating standing na mga contestant sa ngayon, Angela and Riza with zero points. Dane and Ron both with ten points each. Nakutalagang medyo neck to neck ang ating contest ngayon na. Correct. Pero yung di pa nahuhuli ang lahat. We are just, we have just finished our first round on to the next one. Exactly, attorney Gabby. But I'm interested in what one of our contestants thinks of the competition so far and I would like to ask Ron, how are you feeling right now? Nervous. Well, I can feel the nervousness. Pero relax ka lang, relax ka lang. Ron, kung manalo ka ba today sa competition natin, mag-iibakaya ang iyong plano na maging seaman some day? No po. No. Determine. Determine siya sa pagiging seaman. Siguron, maglayag ka lang na maglayag at makakarating ka rin sa iyong paroroonan. Ngayon, tanungin naman natin ang isa sa ating panel of experts na si Professor Ricky. Professor Ricky, may gusto ka bang itanong sa ating mga contestants? May tanong ako kay Riza, anong mag-edang slacks para sa ating mga students at anong masasabi mo sa mga students para manunuodito sa ating patimpalak? Para sa akin ang pinakama sarap na merienda para sa mga estudiante saan ako, mahelig sa ginataan tapos sana may expired yung ibang tao na sumali dito kahit andun yung kaba at excitement.
