Biyahe ni Drew turns 2

MANILA, Philippines - This month, Biyahe ni Drew dares all biyaheros to leave their comfort zone, review their travel bucket lists and try something different. Professional traveler and most recent Department of Tourism’s Star awardee Drew Arellano (photo) goes to scenic and memorable locations to celebrate Biyahe ni Drew’s second anniversary.

After kicking off its month-long anniversary celebration in Siargao, Drew tries cowboy livin’ among the cattle herders of Bukidnon on March 13. Here, he finds out that there’s a lot more to raising cattle than meets the eye. The self-confessed caffeine lover also discovers the secrets to creating the full-bodied flavor of the famous Monk’s Blend coffee.

On March 20, Drew gets to experience the “good life” as he lives it up in Palawan’s secluded, exclusive hideaways for Biyahe ni Drew’s special feature. This is the kind of trip that one would do in a heartbeat if money was no object. Traveling via private sea plane, island hopping via private yacht, having a staff of 30 at your beck and call and “owning” an island for a few days... certainly a trip of a lifetime.

Finally, on March 28, Drew escapes the Philippines’ summer heat by cooling off in Hokkaido, Japanfor a “winter wonderland” special. Drew goes to Niseko, the most famous ski resort in Japan, known for its light powder snow where he tests his skiing/snowboarding skills.

Biyahe ni Drew specials air Friday nights at 8 on GMA News TV.
