The original adventure competition series is a partnership between KC Global Media Asia, AXN Asia and the Sarawak Tourism Board


KC Global Media Asia has announced a new adventure reality competition series called "AXN Ultimate Challenge: Sarawak," a collaboration between leading Asian entertainment brand AXN Asia and the Sarawak Tourism Board that will bring an original destination-led entertainment initiative to global audiences.

"AXN Ultimate Challenge: Sarawak," is a fast-paced four-part series with 15-minute episodes that include adrenaline-fueled challenges, cultural discovery, and social storytelling. Two content creator teams will face off in a series of high-energy competitions and mental challenges inspired by Sarawak's lush landscapes and rich culture, providing them with an unforgettable experience. The contestants' skills, endurance, and teamwork will be tested as they immerse themselves in local communities, experience unique cultural encounters, and discover hidden gems rarely seen on television.

This one-of-a-kind look at one of Southeast Asia's most captivating and naturally beautiful destinations, Sarawak, Malaysia, will delve into themes such as community, discovery, eco-tourism, and tradition.

KCGM Studios produces the show, which is hosted by Mark O'Dea. The content creator teams are Khenji Saito and Adam Manuel, and Estelle Fly and Saffron Sharpe. Local celebrities such as Chef Achang Libat, Louis Samai, Luke Kenny Doo, and Blowpipe Masters Cikgu Nyoging and Alfa will appear in the episodes. The Sheraton Kuching Hotel is the official lodging partner.

Competitors will also create their own content, offering an authentic view of the adventure from their unique perspectives. Each episode will feature a Sarawak-specific challenge, such as foraging for Sago worms (a local delicacy and protein source), a prize, and a penalty. Furthermore, the participating local heroes add an important layer of authenticity. They are credible sources who will highlight and validate the series' experiences, challenges, and stories.

"AXN Ultimate Challenge: Sarawak," will premiere on the AXN Asia YouTube channel on July 31 and the AXN Taiwan YouTube channel on August 4.  The show will air on AXN East Asia, AXN Singapore and AXN China from August 4 every Tuesday at 9:30pm GMT+8 for four weeks and will repeat every Thursday at 8:35pm and every Sunday at 8:45pm.

“Sarawak is a destination where adventure, culture and nature come together through authentic experiences deeply connected to our landscapes, communities and way of life. AXN Ultimate Challenge: Sarawak’ offers viewers an exciting way to discover this diversity – from challenges inspired by our natural environment to cultural encounters and local stories that make every journey here unique.  We hope the series will inspire audiences across the region to discover Sarawak, Malaysia for themselves.” ~Dr. Sharzede Datu Haji Salleh Askor, the Chief Executive Officer of the Sarawak Tourism Board

Burger King introduces BK Krispper Fried Chicken with Signature Smokey Kick

"With BK Krispper™, we wanted to raise the bar on fried chicken and do it in a way that's unmistakably Burger King. People already expect fried chicken to be crispy and juicy. What makes BK Krispper™ different is that signature smoky, flame-grilled taste baked into every bite – a product that's true to our heritage and gives consumers a whole new reason to choose Burger King." ~Kristine Wong, Assistant Vice President and Head of Marketing at Burger King Philippines

Known for flame-grilled burgers, Burger King brings its signature bold flavor to one of the country's biggest food categories with the nationwide launch of BK Krispper.

Burger King is famous for its unique smoky, flame-grilled burgers. Burger King's Whopper® is renowned for its flavor. Now that BK Krispper, Burger King's first fried chicken with a unique smoky flavor, has been introduced nationwide, that same bold flavor is finding its way into one of the most popular food categories among Filipinos.

The crispy skin and juicy, tender meat that Filipino customers adore are combined in Burger King's newest fried chicken. According to Unilever Food Solutions' 2022 consumer insights, these are still crucial features that Filipino diners look for in fried chicken. In addition to offering guests a new way to savor a well-known favorite, BK KrispperTM delivers both while introducing a distinctive smoky flavor inspired by Burger King's flame-grilled character.

Burger King has created a fried chicken that upholds the fundamental principles of the company. In a category where many options taste "usually good," the juicy chicken and crispy coating are complemented by the smoky finish, creating a satisfying bite.

Whether you've been a longtime Burger King fan or are just looking for your next favorite fried chicken, BK KrispperTM combines the brand's signature smoky flavor with the popular juicy meat and crispy skin for a bite that is all Burger King.

In Kapangan, Benguet, every family makes it home

“Consistent na nag-zero casualty or zero dead sa amin. Kasi at least mayroon kami yung Ligtas Kit, malaking tulong na yan para ma-meet natin yung zero casualty [rate] sa aming bayan. Yung unang-una po kasi wala po kami ng hotline noon. Kaya noong nakita namin at least nabigyan kami ng hotline. Yun ang mostly ginagamit namin for reporting, data gathering, and coordination with the barangays. Number one yung communication namin, coordination with the barangays, implementing our preemptive enforced evacuation, at yung mga megaphone for giving warnings sa community. Bago dumating yung bagyo, dapat tayo ay nakapaghanda na. Alamin natin kung saan yung mga hazard or risk areas. ~Erick Abangley, Kapangan’s Local Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Officer
Erick Abangley, Local Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Officer II of Kapangan, Benguet.


The mountainous municipality of Kapangan, Benguet, used to be uncertain after every storm. It now has proof of the power of preparedness.

Danger is a common occurrence in Kapangan, which is surrounded by rough terrain and terraced farms. Landslides caused by heavy rains, frequent earthquakes, and unplanned road closures have long threatened to isolate entire barangays by cutting off access to services, aid, and life-saving information. Delivering warnings to remote communities, especially those in signal "dead spots," required physical travel for a long time. Critical time was often lost when it mattered most.

Today, that reality has changed.

At the center of this shift is Erick Abangley, Kapangan's Local Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Officer, who has seen firsthand how better communication can turn vulnerability into resilience. Their town was one of the first to receive the PLDT and Smart Ligtas Kit in 2024.

The PLDT and Smart Ligtas Kit is an all-in-one emergency communications solution designed to provide dependable connectivity in an emergency. The Ligtas Kit included a cell phone that was used as the local DRRMO's dedicated hotline in Kapangan. They also employed portable power plants, whistles, flashlights, crank radios, megaphones, and solar panels. Responders were able to coordinate quickly, issue timely warnings, and continue operations even in the event of infrastructure disruptions or power outages. The Ligtas Kit and its integrated emergency communications training module are part of PLDT and Smart's broader #KonnektedforResilience campaign, which promotes a culture of readiness and resilience prior to, during, and following disasters.

To date, 75 Ligtas Kits have been deployed nationwide—from Batanes to Pag-asa Island to Jolo—giving communities the tools and the training they need to stay prepared and resilient.
 
For Kapangan, the shift began with something simple yet transformative: connection.

Thanks to the Ligtas Kit's assistance with the municipality's Emergency Operations Center, communication has become more dependable, organized, and quick. Early notification of warnings and advisories enables barangays to respond and coordinate more quickly. Communities that were previously isolated by topography and signal gaps have been greatly impacted by this.

Preparedness, too, has taken on new urgency.

In Kapangan, which still has several storms a year, landslides are a constant threat. However, proactive measures like early warning systems and preemptive enforced evacuations are now more successfully implemented because of better barangay coordination.

The kit's reliable power sources guarantee that operations continue during outages, and its communication tools help guarantee that no community is left behind.

But Kapangan's success comes from a resilient mindset that goes beyond the gear.

According to him, resilience begins well in advance of a storm, with everyone in the community being informed, ready, and engaged.

By cooperating, Kapangan has transformed from a high-risk municipality to one that consistently protects its citizens, proving that the right systems can change how disasters unfold.

Beyond connectivity, PLDT and Smart are still helping local governments across the country improve their readiness for disasters.

“Through solutions like the Ligtas Kit, we empower communities with critical communication capabilities that enable faster response and better coordination in times of crisis. We remain committed to supporting efforts that help build a safer and more resilient Philippines.” ~Roby Alampay, FVP and Head, Public Engagement Group at PLDT and Smart

In addition to infrastructure and technology, Kapangan's story serves as a quiet but powerful reminder that people working together—prepared, informed, and ready to act—build resilience.

Furthermore, resilience in this town where storms still happen entails more than just surviving disasters; it also entails making sure that everyone always makes it back home.

Manila Water calls on customers to support August desludging program

“Every household that participates in desludging becomes a partner in protecting our waterways and safeguarding public health. By ensuring that septic tanks are regularly maintained, customers help prevent pollution and contribute to cleaner, healthier communities.” ~Dittie Galang, Manila Water Corporate Communications Group Head
Manila Water rolls out its August desludging schedule and encourages customers to take advantage of this essential service. By participating in regular desludging, customers become partners in protecting waterways, reducing pollution, and safeguarding public health in their communities.


Manila Water is highlighting the vital role that homes play in preserving waterways and community health by encouraging customers in its East Zone concession area to participate in its August desludging events.

By routinely desludging their septic tanks to prevent untreated wastewater from entering neighboring waterways, groundwater sources, and drainage systems, customers can reduce potential risks to the environment and public health.

For this month of August, Manila Water desludging teams will be deployed in the following East Zone Barangays: Bagong Nayon, Sta. Cruz, and San Luis in Antipolo City; Baras and Jalajala in Rizal; Pila Pila in Binangonan; San Andres and San Isidro in Cainta; Santa Ana in Taytay; Caniogan, Santo Tomas, and Santolan in Pasig City; Malanday, Marikina Heights, Nangka, and Parang in Marikina City; San Isidro and San Jose in Montalban (Rodriguez); and Ampid 1 in San Mateo. The desludging teams will also be deployed to select accounts in Marilag, Botocan, San Vicente, Paligsahan, and San Martin de Porres in Quezon City.

The process of removing accumulated sludge and wastewater from septic tanks is known as desludging. The collected septage is transported to Manila Water's septage treatment facilities, where it is appropriately treated before being safely released in accordance with environmental regulations. This process reduces the amount of pollutants that could otherwise end up in rivers and creeks, supporting larger efforts to improve water quality throughout the East Zone.

Currently, Manila Water uses three septage treatment facilities to treat wastewater throughout its concession area. These are North SpTP in San Mateo, Rizal; South SpTP in FTI, Taguig; and Pinugay SpTP in Antipolo, Rizal. 

Customers in the designated service areas will receive advance notice from Manila Water staff, and they are advised to ensure that their septic tanks are available on the day of the operation.

Every five years, Manila Water provides a complimentary desludging service. 

The project is part of the company's continuous efforts to improve sanitation services and encourage environmental sustainability in the East Zone.
