Kakasa Ka Ba Sa Grade 5? is the Philippine version of Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader? It started airing the show on October 27, 2007 on GMA Network. It is hosted by singer, actor, and comedian Janno Gibbs, who is known in the show as the "Chairman of the Blackboard."

The show is announced under the proposed title Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?: Pinoy Edition as early as August after the network acquired the format from Mark Burnett International. This acquisition came as sister network Q started airing the original US version. The present title of the Philippine version came later. Both this show and the original version are airing concurrently; the original on Thursdays and this Filipino version on Saturdays.

The theme song used in the show is a Filipino version of the original 5th Grader theme, sung by Sugarpop, a kiddie group composed of finalists from the program Popstar Kids.

The show's first season had its last episode on March 29, 2008 with Michael V. as its last contestant and the classmates' "graduation." Pinoy Idol, scheduled to air a week after, took over its time slot.

The show returned on November 15, 2008 replacing the second season of Celebrity Duets on its time slot. The show ended its run on May 9, 2009 to give way to Are You The Next Big Star?
