The term SURVIVOR is defined as “one who lives through affliction” or “one who outlives another”. In all respect, all of us who are still alive (obviously) are survivors on our own right.
You could’ve survived through school life, board exams, a bad relationship, a night of crazy sex, a break-up, a broken family, poverty, drug addiction, a Sulpicio Lines tragedy, a freak-accident, a typhoon, a tornado, a dreaded illness, a terror – teacher, traffic at EDSA, yung putok ng katabi mo sa MRT o FX…
You could’ve survived a crime, a gossip, a brawl, a lightning strike, humiliation, coming out of the closet, being lost in the jungle, a haunted house, oil and rice price hike, a dog attack, drowning…  You could’ve survived living in the Philippines for god’s sake…
Since we’re all anticipating for Survivor Philippines, let’s celebrate being a SURVIVOR!
Share your SURVIVAL STORIES! This might inspire more people and it's quite a lot of fun to read too…
Well as for me, I survived 20 plus – plus years of my life… with all its fun and drama! (Lame, I know.)
Come on guys! Let’s get the blog rolling!!!

Apparently, GMA 7 has no control over press freedom in Thailand where Survivor Philippines would be airing - because, local Bangkok Independent Newspaper just squeeled where exactly our castaways would outwit, outplay and outlast each for a couple of days. It is no other than: Talohwow bay, Tarutao National Park!
Here's the article: http://nationmultimedia.com/breakingnews/read.php?newsid=30077377 Survivor reality show shooting on Tarutao will not affect environment: deputy governor
Satun - Satun deputy governor Chuangchai Pao-in said Saturday that the shooting of Survivor reality show on Tarutao national park would not affect the environment there.
He said the shooting would last from July 21 to August 29.
He said the producer of the show from Philippines signed a contract with the park not to damage the environment on the island.
He said the production crew has started building a Thai style pavilion at the pier at Talohwow bay as the centre of the show.
The deputy governor said the show would promote tourism in Satun.

Sounds Familiar, Doesn't It? |

ABS-CBN is cooking something awfully familiar for their franchise of Fear Factor.. Starmometer reports: If you are 20 to 35 years old, male or female, and ready to face your fears and live outside the country for 30 days, then you are qualified to join. Simply proceed to PDA Concert Hall on June 29, 2008, Sunday at 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Bring the following: - Valid I.D.
- Original and photocopy of Birth Certificate
- Full body and close up picture I'm not an avid viewer of Fear Factor but If there is something that is distinct with FF, is that in every episode, there are different teams facing different challenges, and the show is practically over after eliminations and the major challenge. They would just have an option to call back those challengers who won if they want to. The format gives more opportunities for more people to join, just like a regular game show. And you don't have to follow the daily lives of the challengers unlike Big Brother or Survivor, you don't have to get attached with the challengers and you can miss an episode without being left out or spending too much TV or online time. Maybe ABS-CBN wanted to rev up the show by going out of the country and maybe finding different challenges not available locally rather than end up just being the same as the once primetime king Extra-Challenge. Well, too early to tell. Is this a case of another innovation at the brink of becoming "gaya-gaya, puto - maya?" What do you think?

Some say Survivor Philippines is gonna be shown a little later than expected.. on September, that is. We'd like to believe that GMA 7 is really doing a good job trying to keep everything hush, hush. But thanks to some of you who posted their comments; there are pretty good spoilers spilled. It's up to us to believe them or not .. and we'll probably see the truth on September. If anyone out there is daring and "creative" enough to add more spoilers... don't be shy to post them here! Thanks to Totoo Ito for the following scoop: Among the 16 castaways are:
SHAWN DICKA (half-black, One of Cosmo Hunks 2006, Trainer ng Fitness First);
TRINIDAD "TERRY" REID (Amazing Race Asia 2; from Cavite)
ROBERT SY (auditionee from SM Manila, May 23 auditions) http://www.thelonerider.com - probably made it (unless, GMA 7 found out about his site and decided to disqualify him) CASTAWAY - didn't make it to the top 16, right? Is it because you've been releasing spoilers? Is Castaway Sean M. and is Charl, Roy A? The sensational JUAN DELA CRUZ? Are you for real? Toni Gonzaga look-alike? hmmm.. Thanks to CASTAWAY for these good info: The 16 castaways will follow a 3-day cycle throughout the 39 days. Airing plans: M-Th 30 mins., Friday 1 hour Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays: Reward, Immunity and Tribal Council. Tuesday and Thursdays: Build-up episodes Thanks to Zalds, got it!

PRESS: Paolo Bediones reveals some vital details about "Survivor Philippines" |
|
Saturday, 31 May 2008 |

by Nora Calderon (Phil. Entertainment Portal) Last week pa nagsimulang dumating sa GMA Network ang mga nakapasa sa auditions ng Survivor Philippines mula sa Davao, Cebu, Iloilo, Dagupan, Baguio, at ang mga nakapasa rin sa SM North Edsa at SM Manila. Hindi pa nakukuha ng PEP ang exact numbers ng mga nakapasa sa first round ng audition ng Survivor Philippines, pero ayon sa host ng reality show na si Paolo Bediones ay puwedeng umabot ito from 120 to 130 participants. Ang Survivor Philippines ay franchise ng sikat na reality show sa Amerika at iba't ibang panig ng mundo, ang Survivor. "Magugulat ka talaga sa dami ng mga nag-apply for audition," sabi ni Paolo sa PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal). "Pero nakakalungkot nga lang na hindi naman sila makakapasang lahat. Matindi rin kasi ang pagdadaanan nilang process bago talaga mapili ang 16 castaways na susubok sa reality show."

PRESS: Paolo is a 'Survivor' |

By Walden Sadiri (Manila Bulletin) Paolo Bediones felt he had reached the peak of his career as a TV host. That was his state of mind a few months ago. Today, Paolo — the veteran host of numerous shows — is back in the loop. The model-turned-TV host is no stranger to hosting reality shows. He was the face of "Extra Challenge" which went off the air when it was at the top of the ratings game. Paolo holds corporate seminars on hostings and teaches taught GMA Artist Center talents on hosting for quite some time now. Paolo is again back in the game as the country’s top reality show host. He has been chosen to host GMA 7’s newest and biggest project to date — "Survivor Philippines." Deemed to be the grandest franchise ever purchased by GMA Network and by any local TV network so far for Philippine TV, "Survivor Philippines" is a huge challenge for Paolo. Paolo would live with the chosen 16 castaways for "Survivor Philippines," the staff and crew for 39 days in a remote island. So far Paolo Bediones has started prepping for his new show by watching old episodes of "Survivor." He is even learning the show’s production bible by heart and has been undergoing physical training to be his fittest for "Survivor Philippines." So where is this island? Paolo said that it is an island outside of the Philippines since the host country cannot hold it in its own territory. Part of the franchise agreement stipulates that the location should be outside of your own territory. This is to ensure that all the 16 castaways would experience the "unfamiliar territory" atmosphere and surroundings. And since it would only be the first season of "Survivor Philippines," the island would only be in Asia. Paolo Bediones explains that what he could only share about "Survivor Philippines" (because they are strictly bound by a Confidentiality Contract), what he is doing to survive and his fears among others.

One of our friends who went to SM Davao to audition for Survivor Philippines shared with us her experience...
There are 3 rooms that each auditionee will pass through:
- ROOM1 - PAUTAKAN - It's a 25-items Abstract Reasoning Quiz that you need to answer within 2 minutes.
- ROOM2 - PAGALINGAN - It's a test of Strength and Endurance with a time duration of 5 to 10 minutes.
- ROOM3 - PATATAGAN - This is the panel interview ala Tribal Council. Beware for some tricky questions. Time frame: 2 MINUTES!
NOTE: Our informant added that the audition maybe was not comfortable for some. No chairs, tables for them to write in - most of them went on the floor or walls writing.
