Join the Kapuso network on December 31, 2012 as it ushers in positive energy and good vibes for the coming year through Win na Win sa 2013. It is not just a celebration of the network's success in 2012 but will also be a showcase of different skills and talents. This two-hour New Year countdown special will also serve as a launchpad of the network's newest shows and freshest faces.

The celebration starts with light show using up-to-date laser technology. Some of the most talented Kapuso stars will also join the opening number, including Mark Herras, Glaiza de Castro, Julie Anne San Jose, Mark Bautista, Jaya, Jake Vargas, Bea Binene, Alden Richards, Louise delos Reyes, Aljur Abrenica, with the special participation of Gloc-9.

The showdown will actually happen via various segments throughout the night. There will be four categories: Stand Up Comedy, which is open to all solo or duo comedians; Dance-Off, for pairs or groups; Sing-Off, for singers of all ages; and 60 Seconds of Fame, which is open to all Kapuso wannabes who can show off an extraordinary talent or skill in one minute.

Contestants were pre-selected through a series of auditions and will be given two minutes each to perform. Five to ten semi-finalists will be chosen from each category before the live show, and will then compete on December 31.

The top two finalists will go head to head in an Ultimate Showdown during the show, in a production number led by a Kapuso artist. Winners will be announced on the dawn of January 1, 2013.

Before the numeric countdown to 2013, the Sayaw Pilipinas group, Protege finalists, Teen Gen cast, and GMA's newest artists will lead a two-minute number. Also watch out for an "Oppa Gangnam Style" flash mob, which will help introduce a new Kapuso dance craze choreographed by the living dance legend, Ms. Geleen Eugenio.
