Real-life life couple Gabbi Garcia and Khalil Ramos are taking the viewers for the ride tonight on GMA Public Affairs’ newest offering, a youth-oriented reality program that aims to capture the millennial and Gen Z markets.
Entitled IRL (In Real Life), the program hosted by the Gabbi features the latest in travel adventures, music, sports, fashion, gaming, career, love and relationships, and everything else in the digital world.
In the premiere telecast tonight at 9:15 on GMA, Gabbi and Khalil are going to spread kilig vibes to the viewers as they go for a road trip to Tagaytay and visit two Instagram-worthy cafes perfect for the young and the young at heart.
Khalil shows off his barista skills as the coffee enthusiast creates coffee art at Cafe Agapita. They also film a Mukbang video while reacting to assumptions on millennials and Gen Zs. A photography-enthusiast, Khalil shares tips on how to level up your Instagram feed as they do an impromptu photoshoot on Instagram-worthy spots. Meanwhile, a self-confessed plantita, Gabbi also checks out rare plants at Greenhouse Café.
A millennial barkada also goes on an exciting adventure at Fresno Agro Forestry and Eco Tourist Campsite in Tanay, Rizal.
“It’s like a magazine show and each episode we feature a different guest co-host and I’m glad that Khalil is joining me in our premiere telecast. Of course, it feels great to share my passion with him. Every week, our featured guests try viral challenges, go on gastronomic adventures, deep dive into fashion trends, and explore exciting things,” Gabbi told Manila Standard Entertainment in a virtual interview.
“Doing IRL is a different experience for us. The show is very candid and casual. It’s kind of offbeat. It allows us to talk about social issues, lifestyle, anything under the sun. It’s a safe space for the Gen Zs and millennials to talk about topics that concern them,” the 21-year-old actress added.
Amid being excited for the viewers to finally see her on the show, she’s a bit nervous about how people would receive this weekly reality program.
“We have this huge responsibility because, in this age of social media, a lot of people like me look for a safe space where they can speak their mind. That makes the show different, but that also makes me feel nervous,” she admitted.
