 Ang karunungan ay kapang yarihan. Now let's put that power to the test. It's time for... K-Check! Hello everyone, I am OJ Sir Kinya. At ako naman si Cayenne Arceo and this is K-Check, the newest and smartest game show on Philippine television. Research all over the country for people na hindi nagsasawang dangdagan ang kanilang kaalaman. For several weeks, titignan natin kung gaano ka't hindi ang brain power nila. And in the final week of competition, malalaman natin kung sino ang kauna-unahang tatanghaling K-Check Champion. Apat na contestants ang dadaan sa ating karunungan check sa araw na ito. Our first contestant is Dina. She was an IT for Dep Ed who lists volleyball and mobile legends as her hobbies. Our second contestant is Jojo. He is a freelance talent agent and though he loves being on a set or in casting, he says he can work in any field. Our next contestant is Charles. Charles is a computer whiz and an ex pro e-sports athlete who loves games and challenges. And finally, Gio. Gio worked as a nurse in a tertiary hospital during the pandemic, but now he is busy being in a band and says he has calignophobia. Our four contestants will be competing under the watchful eye of today's K-Check panel of experts. First is Professor Anriel Tiatco, Chairperson of the Department of Speech Communication and Theater Arts, U.P. Dilliman. Next, we have Professor Marion Rocket of the Institute of Mathematics, U.P.

Parang may kabapa sa ating mga contestants. Kaya, para ma-solutionan yan, mag-guting tanongin natin ang ating panel of experts. Nako, in particular, pakiramdam ko may gustong itanong si Professor Marian. Bakit ako? Pero mukang takot pa si Dina at Jojo na sumagot ha? Pero ang iba naman, nagugulat sila pag nangakasagot sila, especially si Gio parang, ah, masugot ko yun? Parang ganoon. Pero, interesting si Gio kasi nurse siya, pero nag-write nang songs niya mula, seven years old now, at ngayon ay nasa-bang at marami kantalihan, pero meron kang college enophobia, the new word for the day. Ano ba yung college enophobia? Bakit ka may ganon? Phobia is a bit embarrassing. But for the benefit of the people who doesn't know my phobia, it's fear to beautiful girls. Takot ka ba ngayon? Actually, I get palpitations. I turn, my face turns red whenever I see beautiful ladies. Pero sa score ni Gio ngayon, isa siya sa leading. So parang wala ka bang kinatakutan sa set natin ngayon? But anyway, ang score ni Gio at ni Charles ay parehong 20, so nakatig dalawang tamang sagot sila at si Dina at si Jojo naman ay pwede-pwede pang humabol. Kayo, nakailang sagot ba kayo? So ready na ba kayo? Para sa susunod na round, ang pabilisan round. Next, here on... K-check! Suloy pa rin ang ating karunungan check. Let's revisit the scores before we proceed to the next stage.

At muka mapapasabak ako after nang ating shoot. Nalaruin ang mga esports na kinahuhumalingan ng mga bata ngayon. Charles, narinig ko na mahilig ka rin maglaro at mahilig ka rin sa mga challenges. Could you tell me more about these games and challenges that you're into right now? Yon, like what Dina said, we're also into esports, but she does mobile games, but I do PC games as well. And in challenges naman, the reason why I love challenges in games is because it improves for what skill that I want to improve and it improves my personality as well. Thank you, Charles.
