Mang Lalakbay is a travel show for kids
Mang Lalakbay, the country’s first educational travel show for kids, will take them to scenic locations across the country to learn and have fun at the same time starting September 25 at 9:30 a.m. Airing on A2Z Channel 11 on TV free and the Kapamilya channel on cable, broadcast live on Kapamilya Online Live, and available on demand on iWantTFC, Mang Lalakbay has everything a child could want when traveling to a ‘better normal’ with parents and family. Every Sunday, the playful Kuya’ Bay (played by singer-actor Vic Robinson) will guide children through the exploration of natural and man-made attractions, including lush forests, rugged terrain and bustling cities. Mang Lalakbay will guide children in appreciating and caring for the environment while learning from their own fun encounters, interactions and curiosities in the show’s 11 episodes. The pilot and second episode will focus on animals and the importance of sanctuaries and zoos, while its third episode will address the need to adopt and care for rescued animals as pets instead of buying. Recycling and reusing plastic waste is at the heart of the 4e episode, while the 5e will show how trees protect the country’s watersheds and enable the ‘forest to tap’ process. There will also be episodes on sports, nutrition, literature, different forms of water, preservation of underwater marine life, and a coastal cleanup of Subic Bay and the town of Olongapo in Zambales. . The show is produced by creative production agency The Jumpcat Experiment with a grant from the National Endowment Fund for Children’s Television of the National Council for Children’s Television.
