Bawal Judgmental (originally stylized as Bawal Judgmental!) is a game where players are tasked with the responsibility of identifying the correct choices among a group of people with distinctive characteristics, past experiences, and emotional revelations. The segment premiered on 29 October 2019 and concluded on 30 May 2023.

Despite the contradiction with the segment's title, the players must meticulously examine their choices and make judgments in order to make the correct selections. The game's mechanics closely resemble those of the formerly franchised segment Boom!.

Since its launch, Bawal Judgmental has become a platform that spreads awareness and knowledge on current events, trends, and issues that are important in our society today.

Overview

Guest judges

Each day, a guest judge is invited to play the game for a chance to win a cash prize. Originally, many of the invited guest judges are well-known television performers—actors, singers, dancers, and comedians—but other notable personalities such as news reporters, politicians, YouTube stars, and sports icons have also been invited to try their luck in the segment.

Starting from the third iteration, the segment now mainly features non-celebrity individuals as the guest judges. Some episodes even feature overseas Filipinos who appear virtually via Zoom conference call, and are accompanied by celebrity game partners who appear inside the studio.

Gameplay

Original iteration (October 2019–October 2020)

The guest judge of the day is presented with seven choices, labeled A to G, assembled in a horizontal line. The hosts entrust the judge with the jackpot money of ₱50,000 which the he or she will have to protect by providing the correct choices throughout the game. The guest judge is accompanied by two friends who can help with the selections.

The seven choices are interrogated by the hosts, extracting as much relevant information from them while the judge listens carefully. They are asked to share a relevant proverb/saying (kasabihan) which could also provide a hint to the guest judge.

Seven choices which a judge must select from

Seven choices which a judge must select from

In the first few months of the segment, the seven choices were asked to show their talent. They were often accompanied by Jose Manalo, Wally Bayola, and Paolo Ballesteros (with props and sometimes costumes) who acted out scenes in a humorous way such as crying in a burial or lulling a baby to sleep, to make the choices' amateur talents more entertaining.

The game usually has three rounds, or in rare cases, two rounds. Each round has a different question about the choices' private lives, which may be as simple as their age or as big as a shocking revelation. The choices are expected to remain emotionless throughout the game in order for the guest judge not to gain any hints. The judge is also not allowed to ask any question directed to the choices. In the first round, the judge must correctly select four out of the seven possible choices. In the second round, the number of correct choices has been reduced to three out of seven. In the third round, only two out of the seven choices are correct. Occasionally, the hosts may narrow down the choices into three or four and the judge would only need to pick one or two correct answers. However, the hosts will have to deduct more amount from the jackpot prize if the judge selects an incorrect answer.

Once the guest judge is satisfied with the selections, the hosts reveal one by one if the selected individuals have the characteristics that the question is looking for. Before revealing information about the last individual, the contestant is given a chance to switch his/her choice.

If the guest judge makes no incorrect choice throughout the game, then he/she wins the whole jackpot prize of ₱50,000. Otherwise, ₱5,000 is deducted from the jackpot money each time the choice is incorrect for rounds with seven choices, while ₱10,000 is deducted for an incorrect pick out of three or four choices.

Segment changes due to the COVID-19 pandemic
Guest choices stood inside large plexiglass body shields in order to practice social distancing

Guest choices stand inside large plexiglass body shields to practice social distancing.

Due to the enhanced community quarantine (ECQ) caused by the coronavirus pandemic, Eat Bulaga! was forced to shut down its live broadcast for almost three months. Replays of old segments, including episodes of Bawal Judgmental, were replayed instead.

On 8 June 2020, Eat Bulaga! returned its live broadcast after the government eased quarantine measures nationwide. During the first three days of its return, the show still re-aired Bawal Judgmental's previous episodes. However, the hosts teased about the return of the segment which would feature the large face shields as part of the "new normal" of Bawal Judgmental.

New episodes of the segment began on 10 June 2020. This time, Bawal Judgmental utilized the audience area of APT Studios by placing equidistantly spaced plexiglass body shields in which the guest choices stood, as a way to practice and ensure social distancing between them.

Instead of bringing their friends at the studio, guest celebrity judges receive help with their decisions throughout the game from a lucky home viewer that was selected from Facebook. Prior to the segment, Eat Bulaga! publishes a daily Facebook post seeking individuals with specific characteristics to join as a home partner via video call. The lucky home partner, dubbed as "chismosang kapitbahay from home", receives half of the cash prize that the guest judge wins at the end of the game. Meanwhile, non-celebrity guest judges are accompanied by a celebrity home partner instead.

On 4 to 18 August 2020, the Philippine government placed Metro Manila and the surrounding provinces (including Rizal, where APT Studios is lovared)under modified enhanced community quarantine (MECQ) amid rising COVID-19 infections. As a result of the reimplementation of the stricter quarantine measures, Eat Bulaga! halted its live studio production once again and opted to re-air old episodes of Bawal Judgmental during the MECQ period until its resumption on 19 August 2020.

Upon resumption on 19 August 2020, slight changes have also been modified due to the wearing of face shields being mandatory four days prior. Here, when the judge picks the letter of his/her answer, the LED light will brighten up. Also, the choices went inside the "body shields" immediately.

Second iteration (October 2020-January 2021)

On 30 September 2020, Vic Sotto teased that starting 3 October 2020, the game format for the 2nd round will change. Instead of the judges picking the answers to the question stated in Ang Tanong!, he/she will have to figure out the question based on the choices' answers.

On 3 October 2020, the game format for the 2nd round officially changed. The correct answers will be given by the host, and the judge will have to select the correct question based on that answer.

Third iteration (January-June 2021)

On 23 January 2021, Bawal Judgmental revamped the mechanics to introduce a new level of gameplay suspense in which the judges can double or half their initial jackpot prize in the second round.

In the second round, guest judges are presented two categories, with each containing two correct appropriate choices. One category is designated as 'Double Your Money', while the other is classified as 'Divide Your Money'. The goal is to select any one of the two choices under 'Double Your Money' in order to maximize the jackpot value. If a choice under the 'Divide Your Money' is chosen, the jackpot prize will be halved. The three uncategorized choices are designated under 'Keep Your Money'. If selected, the jackpot prize will remain the same.

The mechanics of the first round remained the same. To keep the initial jackpot value of ₱50,000, guest judges must select the four correct choices. Up until 10 February 2021, each incorrect answer costs the guest judges ₱5,000. From then onwards, incorrect answers deduct ₱10,000 from the jackpot prize.

On 26 April 2021, Bawal Jugmental! temporarily suspended the in-person appearances of the choices after a spike in COVID-19 cases in the Philippines. The body shields were replaced with vertical flat-panel displays where the guest choices appeared virtually.

Fourth iteration (June 2021-May 2023)

The fourth iteration premiered on 21 June 2021. As part of the revamp, the segment dropped the exclamation point in its title. Unlike previous iterations, only five individuals appear in the choice lineup this time.

In the first round, guest judges must select the two correct choices in order to keep their jackpot prize of ₱50,000. If an incorrect choice is selected, money is subtracted from their prize. Each incorrect choice costs differently: ₱10,000, ₱15,000, and ₱20,000.

In the second round, the judges must select the only correct answer of the game, known as THE ONE. If selected, the value of their jackpot prize is doubled. If an incorrect choice is selected, ₱10,000 will be deducted from their account.

Beginning on 10 March 2022, the number of guest choices in the first round have been reduced to only four. The ₱15,000-penalty value have also been removed if the judge selects an incorrect choice.

Nearing the segment's 3-year run, Bawal Judgmental returned to its pre-pandemic set-up on 6 October 2022 with four choices assembled in a horizontal line. With the removal of body shields, the set-up returned to the main stage, after being in the audience area. The choices were not also required to wear face masks or face shields.

Production notes

  • Because the COVID-19 pandemic halted live production, Eat Bulaga! opted to re-air past episodes of some of its iconic segments during the three periods of strict community quarantine in Metro Manila. As one of its most popular segments at the time before the shutdown, Bawal Judgmental was replayed every day in order to maintain the interest of the viewers for the segment.
  • The suspenseful music used in the segment prior to the revelation of the answers is titled "Apprehensive At Best" by Biz Baz Studio. (YouTube link).
  • The victory music used after a correct choice has been revealed is a shortened version of "Who Is Ready To Jump (DJ Ortzy & Nico Hamuy Remix)" by Chuckie (found on this YouTube link). In the video, the portion of the song used in the actual segment is heard at 5:03. During February 2020, it is sometimes replaced by a sample of "Kapag Tumibok Ang Puso" by Donna Cruz, presumably due to Valentine's Day-related topics in several episodes.
  • Aside from the live television episodes, there were also online exclusives that were uploaded on Eat Bulaga's Facebook page and/or YouTube channel. The videos were interviews about selected choices' lives and experiences.

Recognitions

In October 2020, the National Center for Mental Health presented TAPE, Inc. with a Green Ribbon Award as one of the Mental Health Champions for promoting mental health awareness through several episodes of Bawal Judgmental. The award ceremony was part of the agency's celebration of National Mental Health Week as well as World Mental Health Day.[1]

Footnotes

  1. Coney Reyes co-hosted the segment on 30 July 2022 as part of her special appearance during the 43rd anniversary celebration of Eat Bulaga!.
  2. Originally, Wally Bayola portrayed the character of Chiska, the chismosang kapitbahay, who talks to the audience or the home partner (February to November 2020). From December 2020 to January 2021, he portrayed the character of Dasura, the foreignay chismosang kapitbahay whose name is a spoof of Social Dis-Dancing choreographer Dasuri Choi.
  3. As a result of the COVID-19 community quarantine, Vic Sotto was forced to resume his hosting duties remotely from home. Pauleen Luna-Sotto faintly appeared when the judge has correct answers as a director from their home. Luna-Sotto followed suit for hosting duties on 19 August 2020.
  4. The barangay hosts served as commentators after APT Studios temporarily closed its doors to a live studio audience due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The hosting collaboration only lasted for four days (9–12 March 2020) because Eat Bulaga! was forced to suspend its barangay segments as a result of the Philippine government's lockdown declaration of Metro Manila.
