My own version of Survivor Philippines Theme....

You can never think of anyone else who fits the hosting job of Survivor Philippines other than Paolo Bediones. The man is born to host the local version of the hit reality series Survivor, which has been franchised by close to 50 countries. 

And Paolo is taking his job very seriously. Aside from testing for himself the grueling challenges, Paolo knows each and every castaway—all 18 of them—in the first-ever Survivor Philippines. 

"All of the castaways went to the auditions, all of them have a number, none of them were favored. They were chosen among 40,000, brought down to 400, down to 120, down to 60, down to 32, down to 16, and then 18. 

"Each and every one, puwede naming sabihin kung saan nag-audition ‘yan. Ako, dun ako proud na isa-isahin mo lahat ng castaways, kunin mo ang back story ng lahat ng mga ‘yan, where they auditioned, where they come from, I assure you, matutuwa kayo. We really gave a chance to all sectors of society, to all working classes... Nakakatuwa talaga," says Paolo to PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) during the press launch of Survivor Philippines last Wednesday afternoon, September 10, at the GMA Network Center. 

The select members of the entertainment press, including, PEP, had the privilege of watching the rough cut of the first few gaps of Survivor Philippines that will be aired on September 15 in GMA-7. It was the first time that the press people were able to see the 18 castaways who will compete for the cash prize of three-million pesos and the title of the first-ever Pinoy Sole Survivor. 

"We have a couple of favorites... We call them favorites kasi parang ang dating is all 18 have distinct personalities, e. So we have a favorite way of calling them rather. Ang importante sa castaway nung audition, dapat unang tingin ko pa lang sa kanya—pagkatapos ng interview and getting to know him more—may personality," Paolo points out.    Read more....
