“Open your mind and experience with your heart.”
This line sums up my love for travel since I don’t know when. I’m always amazed by the beauty of the new places I visit, and they feel like home when I return. Aside the warmth of every people, it brings so much joy to my heart to be able to experience everything that is so loveable in every destination my wandering self brings me. I even enjoy it more now that I have my own family to travel with. We’re all very thrilled with new discoveries and adventures.
When I was invited to join the other bloggers and media influencers to fly to Cebu for #AirAsiaRedTalks Season 2 launch, I didn't think twice. I see events like this as opportunities for me to learn something, enrich my knowledge, widen my connections and of course make lots and lots of exciting memories.

#AirAsiaRedTalks brings a whole new social media experience in a series of travel webisodes (web episodes) that premiered in AirAsia’s Facebook page last year. It’s like bringing back talk TV and magazine shows in a more sociable and innovative podium. What better platform to connect to people than online, right? It received such an overwhelming reaction from the audience, thus giving birth to the second season.
Once again, AirAsia has teamed up with multi-awarded TV host, producer, entrepreneur, blogger, and UNICEF Special Advocate, Daphne Oseña-Paez. We had the chance to personally meet her in the event held at the Twilight Roof Deck of Bai Hotel. AirAsia Philippines Chairperson Maan Hontiveros, AirAsia Philippines CEO Captain Dexter Comendador and AirAsia Foundation’s Executive Director Mun Ching Yap definitely made their presence felt, too.
AirAsia is a sociable and innovative brand and we embrace social media not only to engage our fans but also to inspire and connect with our guests. With RedTalks, we are bringing back the era of talk TV and magazine shows to online audience with a refreshing approach using a platform that has become so effective and popular. - AirAsia Philippines CEO Captain Dexter Comendador
The ever gorgeous Daphne Oseña-Paez gave a hint of what to expect this season,
The quality of stories and the online engagement we got last year when RedTalks was launched have been overwhelming. For this new season, we aim to raise the level of discussion and cover a wide range of topics to engage our audience and inspire them to have meaningful connections.
Getting an exclusive sneak peek of the show’s pilot episode titled “Sweet Connections”, I believe that a lot of people, not only those who love to travel, will really embrace and get engaged to this refreshing approach.
Personally, it made an appeal to me because I have experienced what they featured in this episode first-hand – Malagos chocolates. I’m a chocolate lover!
During the event, we’re so lucky to have been served the Malagos chocolates. Oh my gosh, as soon as tasted it, it went straight to my heart, then my stomach, and back to my heart!

Episode 1: Daphne travels to Davao with Chef JP Anglo, who has been regarded as one of the new generation “rock star chefs” because of his flair for creating edgy dishes with strong local Filipino identity. They talk about creating something fresh and new using the award winning Malagos chocolates and included it in AirAsia’s in-flight menu called Santan in April.
Episode 2: Empowering women is a subject matter that AirAsia has been championing through the airline’s former CEO and now serving as chairperson, Maan Hontiveros. Before Maan assumed the responsibility of establishing AirAsia operation in the Philippines in 2011, she was a staunch advocate of performing arts and the environment, a broadcast journalist, and a civic leader who has been hailed by the Filipina Women’s Network as one of the 100 Most Influential Filipina Women in the World (Global FWN100)™ - Builder award category in 2014. Maan’s story of disrupting the ordinary to create value in the lives of women and marginalized groups was presented in a lively discussion during the press launch hosted by radio DJ Tracy Abad-Prado.
Episode 3: This features David Foster and AirAsia’s collaboration to find the best and tap into a diverse pool of talented, skilled, and creative individuals in the ASEAN region.
Episode 4: Human Trafficking being a serious global issue has reached the ASEAN shores at an alarming rate. AirAsia Foundation tackles the issue head on in raising awareness and training airline personnel across the region and beyond to combat trafficking.
Episode 5: Daphne goes to Bali, Indonesia to take part in the much celebrated food festival in Ubud and interacts with farmpreneurs to learn about upscaling farmers through innovation.
Episode 6: Cambodian Living Arts (CLA), a non-profit organisation based in Phnom Penh, has been facilitating the transformation of Cambodia through the arts by providing arts education, capacity building of arts leaders, and opportunities for emerging artists to generate income and create a sustainable environment for the arts. This inspiring finale will feature CLA’s success story.
I'm pretty sure this will be another huge triumph for AirAsia, the world's best low cost carrier. Absolutely, #AirAsiaRedTalks Season 2 is one for the books!
