[edit] History

GoBingo was first aired in 1996 which was hosted by Arnell Ignacio and Maricar de Mesa (as the first GobiGirl). Ignacio won the Best Game Show Host in PMPC Star Awards for Television in 1997 for Gobingo. After airing for almost five years, the show was reformatted to a sportsfest-like gameshow and retitled as Golympics.

[edit] 1996-1999

There are three contestants with each respective "bingo boards" (which has 15 boxes) on 3 different screens. Each correct answer from the player, randomly lights up one of the numbers in their respective screen. All the numbers that are lit up in the whole episode are the numbers "in play" or the ones that are "called up". These are the numbers that the home viewers will mark on their bingo cards which they got from exchanging the sponsor's products in assigned redemption centers.

In each round, there is a designated pattern to be created. In the first round, each correct answer highlights a number from the corners of the board. In the second round. the pattern is a straight vertical line (center only), while on the last round is the blackout round.

If a home viewer marks all the 15 boxes in their card they win the jackpot of the day. If someone already won the jackpot at home (they know it through computer), the remaining unlit numbers in the studio screens will change to diamonds, the first player who fills up all their 15 boxes in their screen proceeds to the bonus round.

BONUS ROUND- the screen has 16 boxes each with a question. the game starts when the player shouts his first number. if the answer is correct, the number changes to a peso sign. if not, it turns to a blank. the object of the game is to create a pattern of peso signs whether horizontal, vertical, or diagonal within the alloted time of 45 seconds. The studio jackpot and the viewer jackpot is entirely different.

After 9 years, GoBingo will return on April 14, 2008. Ignacio will reprise his role as its host and the co-hosts are Patricia Ismael and a GobiGirl Krissa. [1] Also the GoBingo cards are now changed into scratch cards and some commercial sponsors are changed for homepartners. Any proof of purchase would exchange for GoBingo card(s) from any Mercury Drug stores nationwide (instead from supermarkets, groceries, and vice versa) for homepartners. The bonus round boxes are now added to 25 instead of 16.
