Where to eat? What to eat?Β Where to travel? What to see? All these questions can be answered perfectly and enthusiastically by Philip Abadicio, the jolly and humurous man behindΒ PHILIP Lifestyle Guy! This lifestyleΒ show, airing in TV5 every Sunday from 11AM to 12NN, features episodesΒ with exciting segments about the latest trends, newest restaurants, hangout places and other great finds in the metro.
As a result of the success ofΒ PHILIP Lifestyle Guy! Season 1 (13 episodes), it was set that the program would have a whole new season for everyone to catch this February 2014! π
Philip and me : )
Who is Philip Abadicio?
Last Saturday, we celebrated the launch of PHILIP Lifestyle Guy! Season 2. I arrived early at the venue, Chef Laudico Guevarra’s, with my sister andΒ familiarized ourselves foremostΒ with the setting.Β Β Then suddenly, I was approached by a man.
“Hello, I’m Philip.” was all he said as he introduced himself humbly. Half starstruck and half embarrassed, I nodded slowly to acknowledge his presenceΒ andΒ spoke my name in turn with a smile.Β I gotta mark my calendar: February 8, 2014 β theΒ day I finally got to meet Philip Abadicio in flesh and upclose.Β Hey, this guy is inspirational, the best at what he does!
Bloggers at the Event
For years, Philip Abadicio has been writing about the newest, the most delicious, the best dressed, the ultimately exclusive, and the lives of the rich and raunchy. His bio states that “as a PR man, he established RPA & Communicate where he mastered the ropes of the lifestyle industry.” Philip has hosted a lifestyle news program for the Global News Network, βStyle RPA TV,β and a lifestyle magazine talk show called βItβs More Fun with Philip.”
With growing number of viewers Philip calls as “lifestylers,” his contract was renewed and he wasΒ given another break. Thus he now continuesΒ to provide more inspiring things inΒ his show. The latter quarter of 2013 was when PHILIP Lifestyle Guy! Season 1Β came about.

If given a chance, I would also want to have a lifestyle show on TV. After auditioning for Chinoy TV and backing out because of a better opportunity, I realized that it’s a dream that comes only for a selected few. I might as well concentrate on my career as an IT professional and attend colorful events during weekends as a blogger on this site. Nyahaha okay enough of me… π
Remember to turn your TV on and stay tuned to PHILIP Lifestyle Guy! Season 2 every Sunday from 11AM to 12NNΒ on TV5. Viewers can interact with Philip by commenting through his Facebook pageΒ and tweeting or replying toΒ hisΒ posts on Twitter. Everyone is invited to join online contests where cool prizes await.Β Visit his websiteΒ for more details and updates! π

Wow! I rarely watch TV unless it’s my favorite series or a lifestyle show. I will definitely watch this. I followed him on Twitter and FB. π
Thanks for your support, Shekinah! I myself rarely watch local TV shows but this can be an exception. π
I was invited to this event but unfortunately I’m not feeling well just came home from a vacation. I would love to meet you and other bloggers sana. I like this show, straight forward and very informative.
Ohh sayang hehe yeah we could have met that day. π Anyway, it’s also good that you chose to rest or your energy might be drained during transit. I look forward to more episodes of Philip.
How I wish I could watch filipino channels here … π but anyways great article you got love your blog π
I felt like that too when I was living abroad. You can always check YouTube videos for recorded videos of this show’s episodes. I’ve seen there are some uploaded as well in his site. Thanks, Laarnie!
I think I was able to watch one episode before, though I’m not sure. Hehe. It’s good that this show features almost everything! We’ll surely discover a lot of new things to explore through this show π
It covers almost all genres and generations, so everyone – male, female, old, young… – can enjoy watching the show. π
This makes me want to get TFC lol or go home to my parents so I can watch! And omg, Miss World Philippines 2012 1st Princess looks so stunning!!!
Yeah she stands 5’11” and 6’4″ wearing those heels. I took a picture with her and I was like only above her waist level. LOL. π
Here we can’t get pinoy channels so no idea about this..anyway nice share.
You can check his Facebook page and blog to also get updated even without watching the show on TV. π
Philip is such a down to earth person and the lifestyle guy also looks like a really entertaining shoe.
Have you also met him or have you watched any of his lifestyle show’s episodes?
Watch a few of his show. With your photo with Philip, I suddenly realized you can be a pretty lifestyle girl that can match wits with Philip.
Thanks, Franc. That’s flattering. π
Wow! This is amazing! If I only have my tv I would definitely watch this show!!! π I guess my last resort is IWantTV then π
Through a quick Google search, I had a new learning today thanks to you. I once thought iWantv only showcases shows from ABS CBN! Now I can watch video-on-demand programs on Studio 23 as well. Not sure for TV5 shows.
I have not been watching tv for months now π
However, your post makes me think this show is worth checking out π
We also rarely check out regular TV shows unless we’re hooked. I’m sure Philip Lifestyle Guy would be worth your time. π
You rock lady! You’re on the limelight and close to some artistes in the making. Awesome experience for you and that’s great!
Haha nah, I’m nowhere close. It’s just this once and other few occasions. Anyway, thanks. π
I don’t know him but I’m very interested to know more about him. About you, Sayang ung opportunity. I really love to work as the subject if you know what I mean haha but for the mean time I have to work behind the lens or cameras and focus on saving for my family. Haha sana someday noh! For sure you’re a successful IT Profession even you back out the other opportunity! π
Yes, I think most of us naman would want to become the limelight in the crowd and be proud about it. In due time, we’ll make our dreams come true if we are strong in pursuing them still. π
Will definitely watch out for this. You have pretty great audience in your blog, so I guess that counts as your own show for now. Good luck! π
Thanks, Sam! Yup, much like hosting a show, blogging is a way of presenting ideas through words, pictures, animations, videos, and other forms. The good thing is that I won’t merit any high popularity that would make others somehow invade my privacy whenever I’m out. 3:)
You’re one lucky gal coz you met the man behind this programme making its noise and gaining popularity not just on TV but throughout the country. Thanks for sharing!
I’d be luckier if they invite me to guest on the show or when they feature my blog whaha. π Welcome!
I’ve seen his show and it looks really promising.. I like the concept it is well crafted.
Lifestyle shows like Philip’s are also called ‘infotainment’ because they are both informative and entertaining. Even if the show is about a serious, the presentation tends to still be light and entertaining. The thing I like about watching it is that I don’t need to exert so much effort understanding the topic. π
Wow! You were rubbing elbows with a celeb! =) Me, I want to be on a travel show. Hehehe. Anyway, I’ll check out his show on Sunday so I could maybe draw some inspiration.
Hehe I would love being on a travel show as well. I love travel and learn different cultures. π
How’s the food at Guevarra’s? heard that it’s delicious! Too brad wasn’t able to attend the event. I’ll watch the first episode of season 2 on Sunday π
Yeah they’re good. I will blog about it soon! π
You level-up your status from us lady…showing your talent to the famous people.
Haha. As for talent, I realized I have to improve my communication skills – small talks. Being a host requires being credible with the audience and this involves having to build rapport first and speak like they’re old friends.
I am in love with your outfit! That cobalt blue shirt is amazing!
Thanks, Raluca! Actually it’s a dress and not two pieces composed of shirt and skirt. π
I don’t watch TV that often eh..but after reading your post, I want to watch his show now na! π
Yeahaha way to go. π I also don’t watch TV often because I’m at work or out of the house most of the time, but I try to catch his episodes to be in the know.
Philip is such a wonderful person whom you met in this product launch. I have to admit that I am quite confused of the term you used “delicious” to refer to a dress. Why are misusing it?
It’s not the dress that was referred to as delicious but those adjectives like “latest” or “newest” refer to anything that’s the latest or newest right now. Please check again.
Thanks… I got a new idea on what to describe the latest or recent fads on fashion like dresses. Now I know what a “delicious” dress in this modern time.
Whaha I still think you get it wrong. XD
i have heard about him but it is still the best thing that you met him. π
Watch one of his show’s episodes and you might be just hooked! π
I need to remember this. I have not watched any TV show for a long time now. I need to watch this because I wanna learn new things too. π
Yup, it’s good to learn not only from books but also from lifestyle shows like this. π
[…] from Joy of Gastronomybyjoy.com to spend an afternoon at Chef Laudico Guevarra’s for the launch of Philip Lifestyle Guy! Season 2, I justΒ felt ecstatic. I would not not only get to meet Philip Abadicio, but I would also have the […]
I rarely watch tv but I’m gonna look out for his program.
It’s gonna be fun. π
You need a follow-up stunt like this with some famous people to engage fully with your chosen job. Hosting some events will be of great help for you. Good luck!
Yup, I’ve done a couple of hosting gigs hehe. It helps to build character as well. Thanks, Fernando. π
this just gives me an update about what is happening in philippines television! its been 6 years and i dont know really whats on tv in philippines now adays! i love you dress roch!
Thanks, Jane. π Whoa, six years is a pretty long while. I’m sure you miss watching these fun shows here.
More power to you Philip and a season 3 is a must! ^_^
Thanks, Pauperslens. π The show will go a long way.
I love it when personalities like him are the ones who approach people. Says a lot about his personality. Must have been awesome! π
That’s true. It speaks humility. π
Truth be told, I’ve only watch less than 3 episodes of Philip The Lifestyle Guy due to my busy schedules and how i wish there’s a certain place online where I can catch up with the episodes. But i gotta say his show is sleek and chic for someone who writes about lifestyle as well. π
I also don’t get to watch every single episode but I try to catch up by reading his blog posts. Yup, they should have a site where past episodes can be viewed.
I’ve been hearing a lot about him. I can’t remember when was the last time I watched TV, like yung sinusubaybayan ko talaga. I’ll take note of his show π I want to have my own lifestyle show too π
Haha apir and cheers, Genzel. π
You look so pretty in that dress! Such a cool event π seems like a great show too!
Thanks, Maya! π
wrong choice for TV5 to give his show a 2nd season.
ayun! e di nawala din kagad at ni hindi tinapos ang contract!
i’ve heard na madaming tinakbuhan o hindi nabayaran ng show na ito which include him as an associate producer.
ingat lang sa mga ganito!
Whoa! Serious? I haven’t heard about that. Gotta know. Thanks for the info.
