Hosted by award-winning broadcast journalist Kara David, Pinas Sarap takes the audience on a culinary journey all over the Philippines.

David says the success of the show will not be possible without the avid viewers and the team behind the camera.
“Thank you very much to all the hardworking staff and crew of the program. Above all, thank you to all Kapuso for the unwavering support for Pinas Sarap over the past seven years. Rest assured, we will continue to nourish you with beautiful stories of Filipino food and culture,” the broadcast journalist remarked.
Now in its 7th year, Pinas Sarap not only features local delicacies but also underscores the sustainability practices of locals in the areas it visits, which others can emulate.
An episode on the local delicacies of Coron Palawan, which aired in April, tackled how mangrove conservation can lead to increased seafood yields in the town. Another episode, which recently aired in May, showed how fishermen adhere to the authorities’ fishing guidelines in Laguna De Bay to ensure sustainable catch.
Pinas Sarap every Saturday at 8:15 p.m. on GTV. Audiences abroad can also watch the show on GMA Life TV.
