Discovery Science

Follow valiant hosts Kevin and Grant as they investigate some of the best fail videos and asking how they could have done it better.

Kevin and Grant are two buddies with two very different jobs and perspectives on the world. Kevin is the know-it-all Ph.D who spends his days analyzing failed engineering projects for mega-corporations. He tackles everything with analytical precision and carefully thought out plans. Grant is a former US Marine Scout Sniper turned survivalist and trainer for the US Military, FBI and DEA. Grant jumps into every challenge feet first and thinks about the consequences later. 


In each episode Kevin and Grant dive deep into a new viral video of a great plan gone wrong. They analyze each video and figure out how it all went south.

Then it’s off to their top-secret test facility (Kevin’s backyard) to experiment and figure out how to make it all go smoothly this time. Using common sense, Ph.D smarts and a bit of brute force they uncover… What Could Possibly Go Wrong?

Catch What Could Possibly Go Wrong? on its new season airing Tuesdays at 9 PM.

Impossible Engineering looks at the history of pioneering modern-day mega structures. Behind every seemingly impossible marvel of modern engineering is a cast of historic trailblazers who designed new building techniques, took risks on untested materials and revolutionized their field.

Each episode details how giant structures, record-beating buildings, and the world’s most cutting-edge ships, trains and planes are built and work using 3D graphics, archive and specially shot footage. As this series revels in these modern day creations, it leaps back in time to recount the stories of the exceptional engineers whose technological advances made it all possible. Impossible Engineering premieres February 4, Thursday at 9:50 PM. 


Discovery HD World

The Malaysian jungle is an ecosystem of great biodiversity. In the shelter of the forest wild elephants, tigers, tapirs, and a rich bird life can be found. But rapid deforestation is threatening the future of many species of wildlife.

While willingness to protect the rainforest is growing as prosperity increases, nature and species protection conflicts with the need to improve living conditions for the rural population. Malaysian Wildlife (New One Off) premieres February 4, Thursday at 9:25 PM.

Scientists regard it as one of the most dangerous volcanoes in the world. Time and again, it has proved its deadly potential – Merapi, the Fire Mountain of Java.


In the past hundred years alone, it has claimed over 1,500 victims. The risk of another serious eruption is high and could possibly even have consequences which would be felt globally. Now scientists are looking for a thus far unknown tectonic disturbance, which might possibly prove the key to their research. The researchers are pursuing two main goals: firstly, to enhance the forecasting options to enable people in the densely populated region to be protected more efficiently in the future. And secondly, they want to understand the mechanisms of this highly volatile type of volcano, which serves as an example of a number of particularly dangerous volcanoes on the planet. Witness the exciting search for clues on Indonesia’s most active volcano on Java In Jeopardy – Exploring The Volcano as it premieres on February 19, Friday at 8:10 PM

UP JMA Proudly Presents ADHOC: The Final Reveal


Wazzup Pilipinas!

The UP Junior Marketing Association (UP JMA) is a student-run organization that holds the biggest collegiate events every semester. Composed of over 300 members, the organization is divided into teams that create various innovative events starting with nothing but an idea. Among the teams include ADHOC, UP JMA’s biggest fundraiser and pride. After a 9-month hiatus, UP JMA ADHOC is coming back with an even bigger surprise—its very last ADHOC installment, ADHOC: The Final Reveal.

ADHOC has decided to culminate their legacy by celebrating 8 years of continued success in one night. The organization has decided to close the ADHOC era for the reason being that they want to start pursuing other ventures in order for its members to experience growth and development. The Final Reveal will be the LAST biggest college party in the metro that is reminiscent of the usual ADHOC stint--the perfect combination of premium alcohol drinks, dancing to the EDM and hiphop beats of well renowned DJs, and of course the famous FINAL MIDNIGHT REVEAL. The DJ lineup includes Kat DJ, Ron Poe, Jason Dewey, Martin Pulgar and ADHOC regular, Ace Ramos, hosted by MC Pao. This last ADHOC event will definitely bring out the inner party animal in everyone.

But contrary to what people know, ADHOC is more than the most epic college party in the metro. The proceeds of the said fundraiser go to UP JMA’s Kids Integrated Development through Schooling (KIDS) Program and Scholarship Fund composed of over 20 students and scholars. All the hard work of the ADHOC team does not only bring together one night of crazy and wild but brings kids to school as well. What better way to spend this Saturday night than to party with a cause!
