Xyriel learns the value of education

MANILA, Philippines - Now that summer is over and school days are just around the corner, Xyriel Manabat’s Wansapanataym special tomorrow, May 26, sets the tone for kids to go back in school in a positive way.

In the Remote Emote episode, Xyriel gives life to the character of Joy, a lazy child who is not always excited to go to school because of her addiction to television. One night, Joy meets a TV salesman named Mr. Booboo (Thou Reyes) who will give her a magical remote control that will enable her to fast forward time and escape from doing her school work. Will Joy’s lack of interest in school ironically teach her a lesson? Is she finally going to learn to value her education?

Also starring in the episode are Jessa Zaragosa, Erik Fructuoso, Marissa Sanchez and Sofia Millares. Remote Emote is written by Arlene Tamayo and directed by Jojo Saguin.

Wansapanataym is a part of ABS-CBN’s Bida Best Kid campaign launched recently that empowers children by encouraging them to become who they want to be and the best that they can be. It doesn’t only entertain and educate its young viewers with its values-oriented, child-friendly programs, but supports their dreams and aspirations as well.

Wansapanataym airs Saturdays after Kapamilya: Deal or No Deal on ABS-CBN. For details, log on to www.abs-cbn.com or follow @abscbndotcom on Twitter.
