International Recording Artist Billy Crawford Goes on the Ultimate BROcation in Hong Kong


Wazzup Pilipinas!

International pop and R&B sensation, singer, dancer, host and song writer Billy Crawford recently landed in Hong Kong for the filming of The Ultimate BROcation, a new reality TV series created by action entertainment TV channel KIX and Hong Kong Tourism Board.

The five-episode show follows the adventures of four male celebrities as they embark on an all-expenses paid ultimate vacation to prove that Hong Kong is indeed the ultimate guy’s playground.

The boys will be taking viewers along for the ride – living it up at the best parties, trying exhilarating activities, eating fantastic food, meeting beautiful ladies, and getting their hands on cool gadgets. They may be starting off as strangers but will definitely end up as “bros” after experiencing the exciting things that Hong Kong has in store for them together.

Billy adds his hyperactive personality, biting wit and often bizarre sense of humor to this new mix of bros which includes popular Thai TV and radio host DJ PK; multi-talented and award-winning Malaysian singer, rapper, song writer and graffiti artist SonaOne; and Singaporean maverick chef and restaurateur Bjorn Shen.

Joining the four in a cameo appearance is Hong Kong martial arts star Philip Ng. Most recently seen on the hit action TV drama A Fist Within Four Walls and the martial arts epic Once Upon a Time in Shanghai, Philip will show the bros his city and act as an advisor during their “brocation”.

Billy has been in the spotlight since he was a child, and his frequent travels and exposure to different cultures have influenced his thirst for adventure and love for life. He’s quintessentially a guy’s guy, so there’s really no better bro to go on “brocation” with.

“My life and my career have never been conventional, and this show is the next chapter of what has been an incredible adventure. As a person who has always relished traveling, working and performing abroad and being exposed to different cultures and experiences, I really can’t wait to discover the highlights of Hong Kong, one of the most vibrant, cosmopolitan and exhilarating destinations in the world, especially for bros,” Billy shares.

The Ultimate BROcation is produced by KIX’s parent company, Celestial Tiger Entertainment - operator of the largest bouquet of Pan-Asian channels dedicated to Asian entertainment, and Endemol Shine Group, the global production house responsible for the award-winning MasterChef, Big Brother series, in collaboration with Hong Kong Tourism Board, Cathay Pacific and the Renaissance Hong Kong Harbour View Hotel.

The Ultimate BROcation will air first and exclusively on KIX in December 2016.

KIX is available on Cablelink Ch.54, Cignal TV Ch. 133, Destiny Cable Ch.63, Gsat Ch. 18 and SKYcable Ch.63.

The National Basketball Association (NBA) will tip off its 71st season on Wednesday, Oct. 26 with three games on opening night.   The NBA Champion Cleveland Cavaliers will host the New York Knicks at 7:30 p.m. ET, followed by the second game, the Portland Trail Blazers will host the Utah Jazz at 10 p.m. ET.  For the third game, the San Antonio Spurs will visit the Golden State Warriors at 10:30 p.m. ET for a matchup of the teams with the league’s best records last season.  

Here is a preview of the opening night matchups:

New York at Cleveland: The Cavaliers will receive their championship rings before facing the new-look Knicks, who added former Kia NBA Most Valuable Player Derrick Rose and former Kia NBA Defensive Player of the Year Joakim Noah in the offseason.  Jeff Hornacek will make his head-coaching debut with New York.  Cleveland’s Tyronn Lue will coach his first regular-season opener after taking over as head coach last January and leading the Cavaliers to their first NBA title in franchise history.  Four-time Kia NBA MVP LeBron James of Cleveland opens the season needing 114 points to pass Hakeem Olajuwon for 10th place on the NBA’s all-time scoring list.

Utah at Portland: The Trail Blazers, who have won an NBA-record 15 consecutive regular-season home openers, feature one of the NBA’s best backcourts in two-time All-Star Damian Lillard and 2015-16 Kia NBA Most Improved Player CJ McCollum.  The two guards led Portland to its third consecutive playoff appearance last season.  The Jazz, looking to reach the playoffs for the first time since 2012, added veterans Boris Diaw, George Hill and Joe Johnson in the offseason to complement a promising young core.  Utah’s Gordon Hayward, who averaged a team-high 19.7 points last season, will miss the game with a finger injury.   

San Antonio at Golden State: Kevin Durant will make his debut with the Warriors, who signed the four-time scoring champion and 2013-14 Kia NBA MVP after a league-record 73-9 season and a loss to Cleveland in The Finals 2016.  Durant joins two-time reigning Kia NBA MVP Stephen Curry and fellow All-Stars Draymond Green and Klay Thompson to give the Golden State a potent offense.  The Spurs will have a new look with six-time All-Star Pau Gasol at center in place of NBA legend Tim Duncan, who retired after 19 seasons with San Antonio. Spurs coach Gregg Popovich has a 17-2 record in regular-season openers.
