When In Manila, there are 2 T’s that can define an individual’s daily routine. Tweet and Travel. A person can ride a jeep and tweet…anything he or she desires. Talkin’ about the breakthrough of twitter, award-winning actor and top endorser Aga Muhlach also made a huge leap from ABS-CBN to TV5. Aga was a Kapamilya for almost two decades until he decided to end up his ties with them, shifted and is now a Kapatid. Igniting his new career as a TV host, TV5 launched his newest show called Pinoy Explorer. It may sound like the kiddie show Dora the Explorer to some, but this one is by far the biggest challenge Aga had accepted. He will embark on this new hosting job by travelling around the world, some kind of big time huh!
Being a travel-oriented show, Aga will visit and explore top tourist destinations all around the globe. Add to the list countries which are not visited by hardcore travel junkies out there. The show will be directed with no other than Direk Rowell Santiago who shares the same excitement with Aga. Direk Rowell said, “We will not only research and share the different cultures of the world, but we would also showcase a more personal touch to it.” His eyes were gleaming when he added, “Makikita ninyo si Aga na bagong gising, magulo pa buhok, mga ganun”. He also stressed out that they wanted to entice kids and provide family entertainment as seen through the eyes of Mr. Aga Muhlach himself. “Expect this to become a long series…and a whole lot of plane rides,” Direk Rowell added.
Aga on the other hand is looking forward on how he would do as a travel show TV host. “Good luck to me!” Aga laughs. He said he is confident though that in time he will be one expert host. “That’s why we called this Pinoy Explorer, because we’re going to places not really featured on TV”, he says. I can so picture Aga as the new National Geographic or the Discovery Channel guy, quite cool! Can also sense his enthusiasm on embarking a new career path this time. He sees this as a new beginning and TV5 supported him all the way. TV5 surprised him as he celebrated his 42nd birthday. Surely, Aga felt like a happy 1 year old kid once again. It was nice chatting with him again as I’ve known him since Okay Fine Whatever days, and said he was still in shape then. Told him no worries as this new show would surely make him return in his ol’ hot bod shape in no time at all. Travelling can become toxic indeed!
So we asked where would Aga’s first destination be? Here comes the exciting part! In preparation of Pinoy Explorer, Aga will leave the Philippines and viewers will then have a chance to guess where he is heading to and win prizes! Nasaan si Aga?
