VALERIE TAN, ROVILSON FERNANDEZ and Architects Start Different Season 9 of "I HEART PH" on GTV

Everyone was in such a festive mood as we joined Valerie Tan and the whole team behind her lifestyle and travel show called "I HEART PH". It's a magazine show aimed to promote all the best spots in the country, as we love and appreciate the things we see in the islands, and support the DOT's call to "Love the Philippines".

Ms. Vanessa Verzosa, the head of TV8 Media Business says "We still have so many places to discover and showcase on our show. It needs to be seen, our natural resources and environment. Through GMA, we would be able to reach an even wider audience."

Valerie told us "I am so excited and thankful for the opportunities especially this one. I get to do what I love, this is my dream job. I'll take you to more places in the country, interview people and share what we see to all our viewers. This is our 9th season, produced by TV8 who was recently nominated in ContentAsia Awards 2024 in Taiwan. We also have partnered with Habitat for Humanity, which we will discuss in a bit because we'll also look for ways to build homes."

She added "Every week we will have co-host and content creators in the show. In fact, we have some of them here today. Architect Dianne and Architect Dannie Florendo, Architect Ed Ramos, and Rovilson Fernandez. We will talk about being green, in several segments, to make sure you learn how to make your home last. For this launch on the 22nd, we will be showcasing Bohol as well. The producers from TV8 had worked with Habitat for Humanity in the past and they were able to really become productive. People have gone to do DIY projects and we want them to know how safe and affordable in the long run because they did it with an Architect. More than seeing places, I talk to people and connect, that is the best thing about being a host of this show."

Their episode starts this Sunday (September 22) on GTV, make sure you follow their social pages and GTV's platforms to see what they've been working on during their 9th season!
