Ten New Adventures. Ten New Destinations. AXN brings back TEN with Jason Godfrey

Conceived from bright ideas translated into cool concepts, AXN’s original travel lifestyle show Ten is a creative factory of seemingly never-ending engaging themes applied to the most intriguing places around the Philippines.

The first season was a hit as Jason Godfrey, Ten’s host and designated guide, accomplished a mission with each of his trips. The six-part series opened with a road trip from Manila to Northern Luzon. It went on to explore the Queen City of the South, Cebu by cleverly taking the local dialect as its guide. Jason then made friends with the locals of Negros, relived the old charm of the country’s capital, gained new skills as souvenirs from his trip to Panay, and reveled at the breathtaking sights of Busuanga.

All good things of course lead to a new season so the show’s avid fans can look forward once again to ten more good doses of Jason’s must-do’s and must see’s. It is sure to gain new viewers as well with the contagious vibe that one cannot help but get into.

In this new season, which is co-produced by Culture Shock Productions and Magnetic Sphere Productions Inc. in partnership with Shell, each episode of Ten promises to be a fun mix of culture and adventure. Jason’s destinations this season are: Bicol, Batangas-Mindoro, Ifugao and Kalinga, Davao, Quezon, Puerto Princesa, Bukidnon, Marinduque, Surigao and Negros Oriental – Siquijor. And as to what exactly will be explored in each place, one has to stay tuned and it will be worth the wait.

As always, Jason’s travels are filled with fun and laughter, and each episode concludes with a sense of accomplishment. Ten believes that worthy travel has direction and requires the traveller to not only witness, but to experience each place he visits and connect with the people he meets.
Appreciate the fantastic experiences that the Philippines have to offer on Ten.
