- Bawal ang Ma-Fall - Don't let it fall; four contestants try to keep each of their objects from falling to the ground while imitating the Pambansang Poser's various body poses and expressions.
- Bawal ang Da-Moves - Don't move; three contestants try to endure sitting still despite the surrounding distractions they are all subjected to involving the five senses.
- Bawal ang Sablay - Don't get the answer wrong; two remaining contestants answer questions in wacky, physical activities.
- Bawal ang Sumuko - Don't quit; the remaining contestant, or "pasawais" completes the three various challenges as they navigate the plexiglass maze in the jackpot round.
The winning contestant, or "Pasawais", receives P50,000, while the "Certified Pasaways" each receive a consolation prize of P5,000.
