LAOAG CITY- Get ready for the season of 5 of the reality game show The Amazing Race Asia for will go to Ilocos Norte. | |||
Ilocos Norte, particulary the municipality of Burgos, Bangui and Pagudpud will be the show’s trail for season 5 which will be aired in next year’s episode. | |||
The US-based reality show chose the seven great wonders from Burgos, Bangui and Pagudpud, Ilocos Norte for the utilization of the shows venue. | |||
These spots include the Kaangrian falls, Avis falls, The Cape Bojedour which is thehighest light house in Asia, the famous Kapurpurawan rock formation all from Burgos, the Patapat bridge, the beaches of Pagudpud, and the first windmills in Asia located in Bangui. | |||
Mayor Chrisente Garcia of Burgos said, “the team of the show were mesmerized with the tourist spots in our place and decided to shoot the episodes of the show here, upon the initiative of our provincial governor.” | |||
“This is good because this will also be part of promoting tourism in our place,” he added. | |||
The seven stop-overs in the place compliment the component and the game orientation of the show. | |||
Basically, the structure of the race is for the teams to travel to different locations by following the route information, perform some various tasks, and checking in at the Pit Stop. | |||
Teams normally complete all the tasks and check in at the Pit Stop before they are eliminated. Occasionally, on an elimination leg, if all other teams have checked in and the last team is very far behind, Route Markers may instruct them to go directly to the Pit Stop without completing the rest of the leg. | |||
Milagros Gonzales, Chief of Department of Tourism Field office in Ilocos Norte, together with the mayor of Burgos, is currently having their field inspection to places where the show will commence. | |||
The participants for the competition will be arriving this December to start the race. | |||
