Ironwulf on ANC Shop Talk
Ironwulf on ANC Shop Talk with Christine Cunanan of Travelife Mag
Just this afternoon I was a guest at ANC’s (ABS-CBN News Channel) Shop Talk. Honestly, appearing in live television isn’t really on top of my list but is a welcome development. The topic of the show was about your “Not so usual Asian Travel Destinations” and I’m to share my insights and experiences on traveling in Cambodia and Vietnam. I’m joined by Christine Cunanan, publisher of Travelife Magazine as she promotes a tour of another not usual destination which is North Korea.
Pia Hontiveros interviews guests at ANC’s Shop Talk
In truth I would rather go more on backpacking travel and delve more on China as a much more unusual travel destination for Filipinos. But I’m still happy to share what I know about the said destinations which are somehow not a typical Filipino destination as well. If you want to read more on the places, archive for Vietnam is here and Cambodia here.
Is my mike still ok?
It’s my first time to appear on tv and I was a bit nervous at first if I can pull this off. Good thing the staff was helpful enough to provide prior information and Pia was a good host to lead the conversation to be more natural. Of course support from my friends and my buddy Oggie who accompanied me at the studio. Whew! I can breath now.
I think, if I’m not mistaken, there would be a re-run of the episode this Saturday on ANC Sky Cable as well as TFC (The Filipino Channel).

Hey OgBear! I thought talaga I would blunder, I was really nervous when it was about to begin pero nung andun na ko parang simpleng kwentuhan lang.
Naku Ronnie, hehe. I’m not sure about that show yet. Wala pa namang nag pro propose
Salamat Dom, if ever magkaroon man, mas gusto ko Backpacking ang format ng show, di ung mga luxury travels.
Thanks Photocache. I don’t have the video copy yet but I’ll try to upload once I get it.
Hey Millie, salamat. Mukhang nadaan da Makeup
I’m not sure on the scheds but my friend told me that replays at 12mn, 3 pm tom, 12mn fri, 11am saturday
Thanks BW and Lawstude. I’ll upload once I get the Video Copy. If you have TFC you can catch the replay.
Hi May, glad to see you here again. Maraming salamat sa pagbisita. Dalaw po ulit.

July 25th, 2008 at 10:29 am
wow, uy, lumalapit ka na sa showbiz, first there was marian rivera and then this guesting, congrats!!! baka next commercial naman hehe.
seriously, di malayo yung backpacker’s tv show, studio 23 can do that although medyo sosyalero ang market nila. pero malay natin di ba? gma has romy garduce, baka ikaw ang itapat ng abs! hehe
July 25th, 2008 at 11:00 am
Sure Dom, I’ll upload it here as well.
Maraming salamat Leah, I’m more comfortable behind the camera kasi hehe.
Salamat Fortuitous Faery, but I don’t think I would have any appearances in the future.
Naku, kami din Dyanie, walang cable. Bihira lang din kasi ako manood ng TV.
Di pa ko rich and famous Ellen.
Many thanks Kyels, just kept on doing what I enjoy doing.
Hahaha, am not really a showbiz person Zherwin pero if it’s a medium to share my passion for traveling and photography ok lang. Gusto ko talaga backpacker’s style na travel, kakaibang experience kasi and to educate more Filipinos that traveling need not be expensive.
July 26th, 2008 at 1:06 am
wow! i missed this one. too bad wala na kong tv. kailangang mapanood ko replay nyan. congrats ferdz! backpacking show with oggie will be nice. isip ako ng magandang travel show nyo ni oggie.:)
July 26th, 2008 at 9:14 am
Wow! Ta-ar-tist ka na ngayon! Hehehe. Ok nga if you and Oggie will have a travel show! Hehehehe.
July 26th, 2008 at 2:51 pm
Thanks for sharing your experiences. Have been reading your blog and it’s been a great journey!
The TV exposure will encourage more filipinos to backpack- it is affordable but very few know about it.
My brother made a book about his travels to several countries around Southeast Asia mainly to show other filipinos
how affordable it is. It’s a pity though about the Philippines- we have so much to offer but we’re not on the regular backpack circuit. :^(

Naks!!!!!!!! Staryray na si Ferdie

Astig ka Ferdz..hindi lang pang Blog, pang TV pa………..well, goodluck to your next itineraries…hope I can join someday…
July 29th, 2008 at 11:35 pm
Maraming salamat Erick! I have a tv capture but the video quality is not that good. Pwede ko ipakita sayo one of these days. Travel show with Oggie hmmm… Bear and Wulf on the road pwede hehehe
Haha. Thanks Mado.
So true Patsy. Not many Filipinos have discovered the rewards of backpacking. Kala kasi nila na you need lots of money to travel, that’s why this blog also encourge as many people to explore. What’s the title of your brother’s book?
hehe. Di pa naman Gail. Na swerte lang. I’m not sure about Davao. Mukhang me lakad na ako at that time. Will check.
Naku Rick, ground level pa rin ako as always.
Thanks Allan. Celeb kunwari
Maraming salamat Eric, I just thought this TV exposure would be good for this blog as well.
