Alternative TV
If you have had enough of those depressing late-night news and public affairs shows, try watching Trip na Trip.
This is a different kind of travel show. It is not patronizing, neither it is critical. What the hosts—Kat de Castro, Uma Khouny, and Jayson Gainza—try to tell the audience is how to make the most out of traveling.
There are the travails of an out-of-town trip—like bad accommodations with unsanitary toilet conditions or the hazards of traveling in uncharted territories—but the trio dishes out their cakes with humor.
You don’t get the feeling that you’re being taken for a ride, even if actually you are because you are shown all the things that you need to see in a place, including the not-so-tourist-friendly stuff.
Trip na Trip airs every Friday, 11:30 p.m.
