‘Survivor’ to hold challenge in Siquijor


President Arroyo said on Wednesday that the hit U.S. television show, Survivor, will be holding its next challenge in an undisclosed location on Siquijor Island.

Mrs. Arroyo told reporters in a luncheon meeting in Siargao Island on Wednesday that she has been told that Survivor, a hit reality television series in the United States, will begin shooting in the infamous island next month.

When asked to comment on the island’s reputation as a haven for manananggals, or bat-winged man-eating folk, the President just laughed and maintained that she was pleased with the location choice.

Mrs. Arroyo noted that the setup would generate over P3 million in taxes for the provincial government and boost its potential as a tourist destination.

Siquijor has long been associated with black magic and sorcery, as it is believed to be a haven for those practicing witchcraft. Previous Survivor series were shot in the Borneo jungle, the Australian outback, Kenya and the Marquesas Islands, while the current series being shown was shot in Thailand.

The show involves leaving a group of contestants in a remote area with bare provisions.


The contestants, who are left to fend for themselves, have to outwit each other in challenges. The remaining survivor at the end of the weeks-long experience receives $1 million.


Mrs. Arroyo made her own bid for tourism by going surfing off Siargao Island, where she opened the 7th International Surfing Cup Thursday.


The President, who used to ride the waves with husband Jose Miguel Arroyo in Baler, Aurora province, before they were wed, tried to revive her long-dormant surfing skills on Wednesday at Cloud Nine Resort, and again on Thursday.
