This May, GMA News and Public Affairs brings back six of the favorite castaways from “Survivor Philippines” in the most action-packed, sweetest, coolest and fun-filled gastronomic journey. Savor the remaining days of summer as the castaways discover the distinct flavors of each Philippine destination.

Fantasies are sure to come true with first Pinoy sole Survivor JC Tiuseco as he travels North to cool down with his favorite summer cooler — ice cream! What he finds in Laoag, however, is not the typical ice cream. Ever heard of vegetables in ice cream? In this town, ice creams are flavored with ampalaya, malunggay and chili! Not only are they hot, they’re rich in vitamins too!

It’s a road trip sweeter than honey with Jace Flores and Nikki Dacullo as they take a trip to Benguet and Mt. Province to find the perfect summer getaway. In La Trinidad, they find that strawberries and honey are the secret ingredients for body scrubs. Together, they harvest ingredients from strawberry and bee farms to concoct the sweetest recipe for the perfect summer relaxation.

In Bulacan, Patani uncovers the mystery behind a dying traditional recipe — Sta. Veronica Birang, a dish named after Bulacan’s patron saint, Sta. Veronica. The dish, made from pork, fish, or poultry used to grace the tables of Bulakeños, dating as far back as the Spanish era. But as time passed, only one family kept the recipe. To save Sta. Veronica Birang from vanishing completely, Patani races against time to learn the secrets of the dish. Will she be able to save Sta. Veronica Birang from extinction?

Survivor’s archrivals Kiko Rustia and Marlon Carmen meet again in an unlikely challenge! A mysterious letter sends them flying to Batanes where they will compete to win the taste buds of the Ivatan farmers! It’s a cook off challenge for Marlon and Kiko but they need to collect all ingredients themselves. Kiko travels to Itbayat to gather tachimos shells found on the island’s steep cliffs. Meanwhile, Marlon Carmen muscles his way against towering waves to outwit elusive Dumay shells, intelligent little creatures which crawl away and hide at the slightest movement!
