Congressman SAM VERZOSA Promises More Inspiring Stories on Season 3 of "Dear SV" at CNN Philippines

 

I've been looking forward to see Congressman Sam Verzosa who represents the indigents, of those residing in urban locations, the youth and the elderly through the party list "Tutok To Win". He's starting the third season of his public affairs show "Dear SV" shown on CNN Philippines during his birth month, and is quite excited about the plans they have for future episodes.

The show plans to put the young Congressman in immersions, to live with the actual people they plan to help. To give you an idea, they meet people from all walks of life. The goal is, to feature their inspiring stories on why they continue to make a living despite life's challenges. Cong SV says "If the old, the kids work hard doing these things, I'm sure the most able bodied ones would be inspired to do the same and help others."

Here's part of our little chat that afternoon

He treats all these as blessings and shares "My family keeps me grounded, they keep me focused on my goals, my advocacies and purpose. I have a lot on my plate, I am just lucky to have been able to do a lot of these because I believe God put me here. He gave me opportunities to be able to share these to the world, and help others,to also change lives. I am happy to see that people are also doing the same after seeing the show. From our company alone, I've seen them on the road, going out there and helping too. I want to do this for the rest of my life. I'm just maximizing what I can do for my community and also make changes in laws, I have a duty to make a movement because I know my purpose."

When asked about his stint at "Tutok To Win" a few years ago, he says "Kuya Wil actually trained me, he asked me to sit with him during one show, that's where I learned and practiced at home. Everyday is an experience, you can feel what they feel when you are there. I get to see their happiness, their sadness, hosting my own show had me ask people about their struggles and get to know them."

 

About his motivation, he adds "I am happy about what I'm doing, aside from doing business, I help people, I get to change lives, I've been given a platform to be able to be heard even with a wider audience. I'll try doing this to change not just communities, but bigger ones and the country. As for now, I'll do this because I found my purpose, in life you always ask that question, there are tons of people that have more work ethic and because I have the capacity to help, I'll do it."

If you want to learn more about the causes he supports and foundations he's helping, make sure to watch "Dear SV" startiing Saturday night of September, at 7:30PM. This will also be replayed on CNN Philippines the next day so make sure you catch it!

I'd like to take this bit to thank Congressman Sam Verzosa (who also Co-chairs Poverty Alleviation) for being so nice earlier. He gamely answered questions even after the presser, to say the least, it was refreshing to talk to someone albeit super successful but still remained so grounded. Again, thank you!

They're celebrating their 8th season this year and since starting iHeartPh in 2018, they've featured a whole lot of inspiring stories. It's a magazine show, and according to its host Valerie Tan "Going places, it made me realize that I love experiencing new things. I also love meeting different kids of people, having connections, to hopefully also share their stories."

The program also advocates showcasing the Philippines, it's flora and fauna, it's amazing nature and environment. iHeartPh also wants people to see more of its people (our warmth and hospitality), and why people love it here. Valerie also feels that there's still a lot of places to explore in the country's 7,130 islands, to taste some of the lands best dishes especially Cebu's lechon which has gained the moniker "Best Pig Ever".

Aside from that, they've been featuring other countries like Taiwan. They're now a TV Program partner and have showcased Taiwan several times in the show as part of the "Love Fun Taiwan" campaign. Valerie sees this as a profound appreciation of their show by outside the country. The show's Executive Producer Ms. Vanessa Verzosa says "It's great to see how the Taiwanese government also trusts us, they evidently see our direction for the show. We'll continue to feature inspiring stories, so people continue to aspire going places, much of which are aligned with our goals."

See "LOVE FUN TAIWAN" on CNN Philippines

Looks like Taiwan is making great efforts to put a spotlight on their other attractions aside from the usual fare as our very own Rovilson Fernandez and Valerie Tan join hosts from other countries (Thailand and India) to enjoy the sights and culture in a new lifestyle show called "Love Fun Taiwan". 

In it, they take you to The Zhentou, hot springs, a place where you could do fishing, a little competitive archery, fun puppets, and even whale watching which they deem are must see sights this 2023.

For Thailand, Yepun Thanajirachai takes a look at the local fashion scene, their cultural traditions and innovations in the industry. For India, Bollywood actress Pooja Bhamrrha will show you why you should also take interest with Taiwan and it's people. Since it's been a while since restrictions have been lifted in different countries, Taiwan should be part of your must see countries if you want to escape from the stresses of life. 

Love Fun Taiwan will also tell you about its strong historical heritage with narratives done by award winning producer Michelle Lee. You'll see outstanding cinematography and musical score from industry great Huang Shao Yong promising an audio and visual feast in the show. This is the handy work of 4 networks Zee TV of India, Thailand TV and CNN Philippines.
