Islands Insider Taal Town short

ISLANDS INSIDER will air on NatGeo Channel, June 23 Saturday 830PM!

Hosted by Ginggay Hontiveros.

Taal town is a heritage town just a few hours from Metro Manila and boasts of heritage bahay na bato houses, an immense basilica, the balisong, burda and distinct food and delicacies such as kapeng barako, suman, maliputo and tawilis. Visiting Taal is like stepping back in time.

The series Islands Insider showcases distinct and cultural travel destinations in the Philippines as seen from the eyes of an unobtrusive host seeking to understand her heritage much better.

While the visual appeal of the locations is highlighted by cinematic photography, greater emphasis is placed on the who, what, why and how aspects of the place to foster a deeper understanding and appreciation of preservation and conservation. Tourism destinations are not static, evolving or deteriorating in time, and require intervention and attention to be sustained for future generations.

The show seeks to reveal the cultural and historical bases of the sites, elevate the issues hand in hand with the natural beauty, so that the viewer achieves a more comprehensive appreciation of the national treasures in the Philippines.

The show is presented in semi-documentary form, with interviews and sound bytes from different local characters and experts along with vivid images.

Executive Producers - Ginggay Hontiveros and Gabby Malvar of The Extra Mile Productions.
