Baste Duterte hosts new reality travel show “Lakbai” on TV 5

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 welcome at TV 5 Home Facebook.
