Wazzup Pilipinas!
We recently got invited to the the special premier of two new episodes for Season 10 of the Asian Air Safari travel show featured regularly on the ABS-CBN News Channel (ANC). The event was held at Cinema 3 of EDSA Shangri-La Mall in Mandaluyong on January 19, 2016.
Capt. Joy Roa, along with most of his staff, was personally there to facilitate the event. There was good food, wine, and some raffle prizes courtesy of some sponsors.
The special premiere featured some episodes at random order namely the Part 1 of their Turkey episode, and the Part 2 of their Rwanda episode.
Turkey Part 1: Discovering the Turkish Riviera is Episode 8, while Rwanda Part 2: Gorillas in our Midst is Episode 11. The two episodes shown in the screening are both halves of two-part adventures.
Both are exciting adventures. The first one was through the Turkish Mediterranean coast, and the second one with the mountain gorillas of Rwanda, which are both worth seeing on the big screen.
The above photo shows Capt. Joy being friendly with the mountain gorillas who allowed him to get near to them thanks to his guide.
Below are some photos from the episodes:

Rwanda Part 2 featured a helicopter flight, a game drive, and staying in a tent with the wild animals in Akagera National Park; a visit to Iby Iwacu Village, a community of ex-poachers who are now giving people a glimpse of typical village life in Rwanda; and a trek to see the last remaining mountain gorillas in the world at the Virunga mountain range at the Volcanoes National Park in Musanze.
