On July 9, Kapuso actor-host Dingdong Dantes discussed how his Kapuso informative show, ‘Amazing Earth,’ helps change the mindset of people about taking care of the environment.
At the media event for the fifth year of ‘Amazing Earth,’ Dantes remarked that he measures the success of his Kapuso informative show depending on how it inspires his viewers.
“Ang kasukatan ko parati diyan ay kung ako mismo ay parating nai-inspire at ako’y namo-move sa mga kwentong ito. And siguro naman, baka kahit papaano, ‘yung mga audience natin, ‘yung mga manonood ganon din.”
He then recounted some of the feedback from their viewers throughout their five years on air.
“And yes, we’ve been getting that feedback and–kasi parang maganda talaga na nagpapakita tayo ng mga magagandang halimbawa eh, ‘yung mabubuting ehemplo. Kasi minsan hindi naman natin lahat alam ang kasagutan.”
He then cited how their program helps familiarize the Filipino audience with ‘Amazing Earth’ heroes who inspire positive changes.
“Lalo na ako, hindi ko naman talaga alam lahat ng kasagutan, lalo na sa mga bagay na ‘to. Kaya mahalaga na makakita tayo ng mga model stories, even ‘yung mga model Amazing Earth heroes na magpapakita na, ‘Uy, pwede pala ‘to.’ And then we get to educate ourselves through that inspiration. And then later on, nagagawa natin ito sa mga sarili nating mga buhay.”
He also acknowledged how their Kapuso informative show urges Filipino viewers to care about environmental issues and animal welfare.
“And napakarami niyan, sobrang lawak talaga, mula sa pag-unawa sa mga hayop, doon tayo mag-uumpisa. Hanggang sa pag-unawa at pag-appreciate ng ating kapaligiran, hanggang sa pagiging isang mabuting mamamayan, pati ‘yun naco-cover natin, so napakalawak din ng pwedeng ma-cover dito.”
‘Amazing Earth,’ the Kapuso informative show hosted by Dantes, celebrates its fifth anniversary with a 3-part special starting July 14, Friday, at 9:35 PM.
