RunnerSpeak Launches on QTV Today!

The first and only running channel in the Philippines that will cater to the growing number of running enthusiasts in the country is now here! It will bring the latest fitness trends, training regimens, diet tips, and food supplements for running enthusiasts, like me. Also, it will feature running events and profiles of celebrities and elite runners.



In short, this show will show you all the ins and outs of running, from being a beginner to being an expert at it, from how, where, when to run, to why run at all. I'm sure all your questions will be answered. It will have segments that will tackle race routes, living healthy, runner's training regimen, losing weight, spot interviews during running events, running ABCs, products that runners use, bloggers segment, and a lot more.



The show will be hosted by Joanne Ignacio, cum laude graduate of Broadcast Communications in UP Diliman, who is also a competitive runner, yoga and aerobics instructor and seasoned event and TV host. She'll be joined by Johnny Pogoy Dagami Jr, or more commonly known as Manny Paksiw, an up-and-coming comedian, spoofing and imitating world-renowned boxer Manny Pacquiao.

runnerSpeak will be aired Sundays 2:45-3:15pm on QTV-11 starting today.

In line with Star Cinema's 15th Anniversary and Sharon Cuneta's 30th Anniversary in Show Biz, they team-up to give us this very wonderfully written drama of Sarah (Cuneta's role), "a grade school teacher who decides to give up teaching for a more financially-rewarding career as a caregiver in London." Caregiver is a story which tackles the hardships of a life of an ordinary OFW (Overseas Filipino Worker), who is caught between her responsibility towards her family back in the Philippines and the patient she takes care of in a foreign land. While Caregiver is a family drama, it also tackles important issues affecting OFWs and how the government can protect their welfare.

Directed by Chito Roño, and with John Estrada, Rica Peralejo, Monique Wilson, Jhong Hilario, Marita Zobel, Lotlot de Leon, John Manalo, Mickey Feriols, Boots Anson Roa and Makisig Morales, a stellar cast that will surely touch the hearts of many Filipinos here and abroad.
