WHILE Adventure Your Way — a travel show which is based on the premise that its itinerary is crowdsourced — promised to be more spontaneous, the first episode (which the media previewed during the show’s launch) felt as if the numerous sponsorships detracted from the overall feel of an unplanned trip.

Some of Mr. Araullo’s expressions felt real — the way he sarcastically told his child guide to Tinubdan Falls in Cebu province that the trek was easy and fast, and the way he was scared out of his wits while skydiving — but the product placements every few minutes detracted from the experience.

“The program is co-presented by Vivo Smart Phone, BDO and Cherifer; and co-sponsored by Petron, Chevrolet and Cebu Pacific,” said a press release. — ZBC
