PHILIPPINE
Consul General Medardo Macaraig will be the first guest in the premiere
episode of “Usapang Pinoy Saipan,” a talk and entertainment show for
all Filipinos that will be launched in the second week of September.
The show is produced by Digital Motion under production manager Edwin
Sta. Theresa, and will be hosted by Anna Mae Adaza and Michelle
Villaraza.
Sta. Theresa said “Usapang Pinoy Saipan”
will cover issues and concerns of Filipino guest workers not only on
Saipan but the entire CNMI.
“The first episode is ready for airing
with Consul General Macaraig as our guest,” Sta. Theresa said. The
second episode will feature Overseas Workers Welfare Administration
representative Julie Fabian.
“The talk show aims to give Filipinos an
avenue to air their views about pressing matters like their status in
the CNMI, and other concerns,” Sta. Theresa said.
He said the program also hopes to give inspiration and hope to Filipino workers facing an uncertain future.
Sta. Theresa said they have been working on the talk show for the past months.
“We encourage Filipinos here to give us
feedback and send us suggestions for upcoming episodes by logging on to
our Facebook page (Usapang Pinoy Saipan),” Sta. Theresa said.
After the first few episodes, they are
planning to go live so people can interact and call in to submit
questions and suggestions.
“We are inviting you to watch the show
as soon as it goes on air — and participate in the program to help our
fellow Filipino workers,” Sta. Theresa said.
“Usapang Pinoy Saipan” will be aired from 6:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Thursdays and Sundays on Channel 14, the Weather Channel. (First published at the Marianas Variety)
