Another fun weekend on TV5

MANILA, Philippines - Another fun weekend awaits viewers with twice the excitement and thrill on TV5’s Pinoy Explorer and Kanta Pilipinas. Everybody’s favorite traveler, Aga Muhlach, is off to a new adventure in Pinoy Explorer tonight at 7, while the country’s first reality singing competition Kanta Pilipinas will reveal its grand winner tomorrow at 9 p.m.

The Pinoy Explorer episode will be Aga’s last episode for the show before he hits the campaign trail for the upcoming elections. He will visit Saranggani and General Santos City, where he tries his hand at catching flying fish.

Aga also tries another type of flying altogether, as he takes to the skies through paragliding. This week’s guest, Aga’s close friend, Bayani Agbayani, will join the host as they drop by the GenSan gym where Manny Pacquiao often trains. There they will learn how to fight and punch like the People’s Champ.

While Aga takes a break from Pinoy Explorer, the journey of the country’s next music sensation is set to begin. The 24 hopefuls of Kanta Pilipinas have been narrowed down to eight. Who among siblings Nicole and Carlo, the “sweet voice of Bicol” Pia, Fil-Am crooner Timmy, rock star princess Thara, Ilonggo rakista Ricky, Boracay-based singer-songwriter Ferns, Cebuana diva Chadleen and former New Born Divas member Jeniffer will make it to the grand finals? A whole new level of challenges await the remaining finalists tonight at 9.

On Sunday night, viewers will be at the edge of their seats for Kanta Pilipinas’ grand finals night. Who among the finalists will take home the grand prize of P1M and a recording contract? Host Rico Blanco and judges Ryan Cayabyab and Asia’s Nightingale Lani Misalucha will be put in the unenviable position of choosing who will the country’s next musical inspiration.
