  It was reported last Tuesday, July 27, that the show will be called Pilipinas For the Win! Why the was the name changed? "Yung ika nga'y dulas sa dila. So, mas madaling sabihin, mas madaling i-record. Mas madaling tandaan," explains Jay Montelibano, the business unit head of Pilipinas Win na Win!.

"Actually we took that into consideration," he said. "Meron talagang for Kris, meron for Robin. There's a segment na magkakasama lahat. May segment na it's Mariel and Pokwang in one. So we took that into consideration."

READY FOR SATURDAY. Montelibano said it was only last Tuesday, July 27, when he was informed that they have to launch a new noontime show on Saturday. Nonetheless, he's confident that they will make it.

"Handa na naman," he said. "Inayos namin since nung pagka-announce nung Tuesday. Walang tulugan 'yon. So, up until tonight and tomorrow, so lahat inaayos na."

Robin did his rehearsal this afternoon, and Kris will do hers tomorrow, July 30. Kris is currently on vacation in the United States, and she is scheduled to return to the country tomorrow at 4 a.m.

"Nakausap na po siya," Montelibano said of Kris. "Nasabihan na po siya, so she also gave her inputs, her builds on the segments. Makakausap ko po siya tomorrow, so we'll be having our own briefing sa kanya."

Montelibano also gave a preview of the Saturday launch.

"Piolo [Pascual] will be there, Martin [Nievera] and Gary [Valenciano], Kuya Boy [Abunda]—kakaiba yung gagawin niya. He'll also lend support. Close friends of both Kris and Robin will be here, yung iba will be surprised. It will be a star-studded launch," he promised.

What future does he see for this new noontime show? Will it also be popular even abroad, like Wowowee?

"Hopefully po. Ang dati po kasi, naiimbita ang programa sa labas. So if we get invitations coming from our TFC subscribers, bakit hindi?" Montelibano said.
