Who Wants To Be A Millionaire - ERC Edition





Who Wants To Be A Millionaire - ERC Edition



Our Technical Writing Professor, Ms. Nina De Leon chose 3 students from our block to represent in the game “Who wants to be a Millionaire” that was held in the Auditorium.

If I may ask, who wouldn’t want to be a millionaire? A majority of people wants to be, of course. Imagine that.. You, being a millionaire? That’d be so cool.

Going back to the activity, it has the same mechanics as the real game. Though they added a twist and matched it with our all English term. Us being one of the students who are currently enrolled in the English term, instead of asking question from the Mathematics, History, Science and Music categories they asked questions from the English category. They ran through series of questions from the English category like books, authors and vocabularies.

The questions went easy to moderate to difficult. Some of them even tried to guess and hope for the best that it would be right so that they could win. Who wouldn’t want to win anyway? I mean, the prize may not worth a million but it’s still cash! Whoever wins first place would go home with a trophy and a cash prize of 3000 pesos while the second place wins a trophy as well and 1500 pesos.

The crowd was cheering for their respective representatives, hoping that their block would win.


It was fun and knowledgeable at the same time watching them play. Being in the audience has its benefits as well. It may not be the prizes but the knowledge of what you will learn while watching them.

Sadly, our representatives did not pass through the final round. But, they did their best and still showed pride for our block.

I salute all of those students who were in the game. Seeing that those question were hard and yet, they still managed to answer it right.

Being a part of the game as an audience, I may have not won a million or a prize but I do know that I got something out of it. The things that I have learned there, I can use it to earn much more.

The game had ended and we went home with our brains fed with new knowledge.
