Survivor Philippines Season 3

Survivor Philippines: Season 3, Celebrity Edition - Pautakan! Pagalingan! Patatagan!

Location of Survivor Philippines

September 22, 2008

Why does the Survivor Philippines location is on Thailand, we had a lot of ilands here in the Philippines, why should they bring it to Thailand?

Koh Tarutao or Tarutao island is located in the Andaman Sea, off the coast of Satun Province of Southern Thailand. It was a former penal colony in the late 1930’s for Thai Political prisoners. It was said that the existence of snakes , crocodiles and sharks in the surrounding sea ensured that only a few could escape alive.

During World War II, food and medical supplies became scarce for support from the mainland was cut off. In desperation, the prisoners and their guards banded together and raided passing merchant ships, and so the legend of the piracy began. With all these, the waters around Tarutao Island became one of the most feared in the Malacca strait.

An Asian Alcatraz, this remote island will be the home of our first Pinoy Castaways for 39 days as they battle out mother nature, each other and themselves, for the chance to be the first Pinoy Sole Survivor.

it’s because it is stated in the franchise agreement that the location should not be within the area where the challengers came from. para wala sa comfort zone nila ang mga contestants. Kapuso Mo Jesica Soho has answered this question in their episode last sunday. :)

agree to that. all international franchises of the reality show had their location on other countries as stated on the contract. parang US survivor, they never had a location in the US.

About Survivor Phil.

Survivor Philippines premiers on September 15 at 9:15 p.m. with a power-packed episode you'll never forget.

After more than a year of planning and production, the Survivor Philippines team has produced a word-class reality series that lives up to the high standards of Castaway Television Productions, the owners of Survivor.

The making of a world - class reality series

After countless meetings, consultations and brainstorming sessions, Survivor Philippines held nationwide auditions attended by more than 43,000 Survivor fans and aspiring castaways.

To give more Filipinos a chance to be part of this groundbreaking reality series, GMA chose 18 instead of 16 contenders to be part of Survivor. The contestants underwent a rigorous screening process to make sure that each one is up to the  life-changing challenge that awaits them.

As for the Filipino counterpart of Jeff Probst, there was only one choice on who will host Survivor Philippines: reality TV guru Paolo Bediones.

With 18 castaways and 120 production staff in tow, the Survivor Philippines team flew to Koh Tarutao island in Thailand to embark on their biggest challenge yet.

The perils of island life

Staying for more than 39 days in a place called the Devil's Island cannot be easy.

Both the castaways and the production team had to deal with elements both seen and unseen whether on land or at sea.

Whenever there was a challenge at sea, everyone had to beware of lurking manta rays, sharks and sea urchins.

Everyday there would be stories of wild animal encounters that can send even the most brave man running.

Snakes, crocodiles, scorpions, tarantulas and wild boars were just some of the few animals that lurk in the island ready to strike at the unguarded tribe member at the most opportune time.

Then there were the ghost sightings, spirits of the ancient island inhabitants who visit the tribes at night.

Despite the daily threats, the show went on in the island.

The real test of human nature

Living in an island deprived of basic necessities while competing for the chance to win three million pesos can really bring out the best and the worst of human nature.

Some castaways proved to be ruthless villains who would do anything and everything to beat his opponents.

Still others proved to be remarkable heroes who cared more about saving people's lives than winning the game.

There were numerous faces of deceit, hate and defeat as well as truth, love and triumph.

This promises to make Survivor Philippines a must - see with various twists and turns that will keep you at the edge of your seat long after the closing credits.
