Controversial
presidential son Sebastian “Baste” Duterte debuts on Philippine television as
co-host of “Lakbai,” the newest reality
travel show which will have its premier episode on TV 5 on May 21 right after
the PBA. The good-looking, 28-year-old, rockstar will co-host “Lakbai” with
funny man Bogart the Explorer.
In casual
black shirt and blue jeans, Baste was very candid and simple as he fielded
questions from media people during the recent launching of his own TV travel
show. “Lakbai,” which is short for “Lakaw ta, bai!” or “Lakad na, kaibigan,” is
a one of a kind travel show that takes viewers on a tour of some of the picturesque
tourist spots in the country.
Baste, who has
a son with Davao-based model Kate Necesario and a daughter from a former
girlfriend, was a hot topic in showbiz after her short-lived relationship with
sexy actress Ellen Adarna. Thrust into the limelight with his father’s
election, Baste, who confessed to being more of a mama’s boy, said that nothing
has changed much in his personal life even after his father’s assumption of the
presidency.
“Lakbai” in
Bisaya and Tagalog will have 8-week specials showcasing the country’s top destinations
and unique food. The show will take audiences in a whole new light as it
focuses on the adventures of a group of bros while exploring exciting places, participating
in the local activities and establishing a connection with the places.
Baste, who is
a seasoned surfer and diver, will be seen scuba-diving and swimming with sea
turtles in vast coral reefs and rich marine biodiversity. “Lakbai” will feature
the world-renowned and top diving destination of Apo Island in Negros Oriental
and the nearby exotic province of Siquijor, among other exciting places.
Joining Baste
in “Lakbai” are his closest friends, Alexis Lumbatan, a lawyer who loves to
make jokes; Sboi Malicay, the cool bro who keeps the mood light; and Andrei
Apostol, the creative bro who acts as travel’s videographer. Travel suggestions on where to visit are
