Xyriel Manabat Shares the Value of Education in Wansapanataym this May 26

Now that summer is over and school days are just around the corner, Xyriel Manabat's Wansapanataym special this Saturday (May 26) sets the tone for kids to go back in school in a positive way.

In the ‘Remote Emote’ episode, Xyriel gives life to the character of Joy, a lazy child who is not always excited to go to school because of her addiction to television. One night, Joy meets a TV salesman named Mr. Booboo (Thou Reyes) who will give her a magical remote control that will enable her to fast forward time and escape from doing her school works. Will Joy’s lack of interest in school ironically teach her a lesson? Is she finally going to learn to value her education?

Together with Xyriel in the episode are Jessa Zaragosa, Eric Fructuoso, Marissa Sanchez, and Sofia Millares. It is written by Arlene Tamayo and directed by Jojo Saguin.

Wansapanataym is a part of ABS-CBN’s “Bida Best Kid” campaign launched recently that aims to empower children by encouraging them to become who they want to be and the best that they can be. It doesn’t only entertain and educate its young viewers with its values-oriented, child-friendly programs, but supports their dreams and aspirations as well.

Don’t miss Xyriel's Wansapanataym special this Saturday, after Kapamilya: Deal or No Deal on ABS-CBN. For more updates log-on to www.abs-cbn.com, follow @abscbndotcom on Twitter.
