WHAT do more than 7,000 islands mean to a fuel company and a traveling TV show? Well, the islands mean to see, taste, hear, smell and feel various places in the country—all in 10 exciting destination drives.
This time, Pilipinas Shell and TEN, a traveling show on AXN, call on every Filipino motorist to discover his own formula for a fun and worthwhile journey on the road.
Shell, through its premium-performance fuels, Shell V-Power Nitro+, is out there to uncover the different nook and cranny that only the Philippines can offer.
Whether it’s a long road trip around Luzon, a solo ride going to the beaches of Visayas, or a thrilling off-road challenge in Mindanao, every Filipino is encouraged to take on the roads and just drive.
“We’ve searched far and wide across the country for the different elements that make up different formulas for an exciting drive,” said Anthony Lawrence Yam, Pilipinas Shell vice president for retail.
“In the show, Filipinos get to see how Shell V-Power Nitro+, our fast-acting range of performance fuels, gives Filipino motorists a unique and worthwhile experience on the road wherever they are in the country.”
TEN is a production of Television Culture Shock Productions, a travel show hosted by Filipino-Canadian host Jason Godfrey, which premiered on AXN in 2013. For this TEN Season 2, their episodes showcase 10 exciting destinations in the country while, at the same time, demonstrating the power of Shell V-Power Nitro+ performance fuels.
“As we go around some of the country’s most beautiful and unique destinations, we take in the breathtaking sights and exceptional drives that our customers can experience, no matter where they are, what vehicle they decide to drive, and whom they choose to experience the journey with. Through this partnership, we show our motorists the different formulas that make up exciting drives that one can discover in the Philippines,” Yam said.
In one of the episodes, expect Beeboy Bargas, a long-time off-road enthusiast, to take on Mount Isarog with a vehicle powered by Shell V-Power Nitro+ Diesel. Here, Bargas drove to an uphill rough terrain by the foot of the mountain and tackled tricky routes, hills and ravines at the Deer Farm.
Meanwhile, motorbike expert Aris Ilagan went back to nostalgic beginnings with a tranquil ride to his father’s hometown, Batangas. Ilagan took his 1,170cc motorbike through the countryside’s lush landscapes and diverse marine life. His engine was fueled by Shell V-Power Nitro+ Gasoline, designed to help engines perform to their potential. Accompanied by Godfrey, he escaped the bustling city for a relaxing dive in Anilao.
Further down South, host Jason Godfrey meets Adi Zarsadias, a travel blogger who bid good-bye to the corporate life in exchange for adventures around Asia. The two left the city of Davao and headed to the province’s surfing mecca, Dahican Beach.
“TEN gives our customers a look at how exciting drives come to life when fueled by Shell V-Power Nitro+ Gasoline, Shell V-Power Nitro+ Diesel and Shell V-Power Nitro+ Racing,” Yam said.
TEN airs every Friday at 8 p.m. on AXN. It replays every Saturday at 6 p.m. and every Sunday at 9 a.m.
