MANILA – Robi Domingo will be hosting ABS-CBN’s first online current affairs show documenting his six-week adventure in various places in the Philippines.

Titled “Lakwatsero,” the digital travel series will feature the Kapamilya host embracing the moniker by showing the audience what the places he will visit have to offer.

“I love travelling so much and this is actually the first program na ipinagkatiwala sa akin na kapag sinabi iyong lakwatsero, pangalan mo ang lalabas, walang kasama, walang contestants,” he said.

“Ang bida, hindi naman ako but iyong places na pinupuntahan namin and ang mga causes na talagang pinu-push namin. It’s not just a travel show but also, we get to realize na kailangan natin maging advocates na protektahan at i-conserve [ang environment].”

Among the places Domingo will feature include Basey and Calbiga in Samar, Iloilo and Bacolod, Mt. Apo in Davao del Sur, and Malapascua and Bantayan Islands in Cebu.

Meanwhile, “Lakwatsero” executive producer Kelvin Paulino explained how the show is different from other travel programs.

“Kasabay sana ng bago tayo mag-book ng flights and hotels natin, sana i-check out nila ang ‘Lakwatsero’ para mabigyan tayo ng idea kung paano natin maa-achieve yung travel goals na sinse-set ni Robi for every one of us,” he said.

“Hindi lang siya basta ipapakita namin iyong lugar, ipapakita rin namin kung paano mapupuntahan yung lugar and kung paano masusulit ang bawat araw sa lugar. It’s really the way forward with the travel contents,” Paulino added.

When asked why the team opted the digital platform, Domingo said: “It’s the way to go. Papunta naman talaga doon ang format ng lahat ng media ngayon. Sobrang natutuwa po kami kasi binigyan kami ng pagkakataon na mauna sa platform na ito. We are really happy.”

Beginning January 29, netizens may catch “Lakwatsero” on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays at 6 p.m. on the Life Section of news.abs-cbn.com, via the official Facebook page of ABS-CBN News, or through its official YouTube channel.
