HGTV’s The Property Brothers Tours Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore

HGTV, the leading home and lifestyle entertainment brand, recently introduced home and design enthusiasts to two of the channel’s biggest stars, celebrity television hosts and real life twin brothers Drew Scott and Jonathan Scott.

Better known as The Property Brothers, the Scotts visited The Philippines, Malaysia and Singapore as part of a promotional tour to celebrate the launch of HGTV to the region. In the Philippines, HGTV will be available on SKYcable starting March 1, 2015 on channel 88 (SD) and channel 246 (HD), and on Cignal Digital TV soon. This follows the recent launches of HGTV on StarHub in Singapore, Fetch in Australia and Sky Vision and Univision in Mongolia.

With more than 15 years of experience in making dream homes a reality for homeowners, Drew and Jonathan Scott are television’s twin titans. Their witty banter, charming personalities and uncanny knack for uncovering real estate treasures, have helped make the Property Brothers the faces of home renovation on television since Property Brothers made its U.S debut on HGTV in 2011. Since then, the talented and charismatic duo have gone on to star in other hit programs such as Buying and Selling and Brother vs. Brother.

The brothers participated in a series of road shows and exclusive events in Manila, Kuala Lumpur and Singapore. In Manila, fans had the rare opportunity to meet the brothers at the Glorietta Activity Center, and also a chance to meet the them at an exclusive, invite-only dinner event through a “Meet and Greet” give away contest in the HGTV Asia Facebook page.

Those who are interested to find out more about the channel and the brothers, can also visit the HGTV Asia Facebook page and share questions they have about the home– Fifteen questions will be chosen and personally answered by the brothers in vignettes that will be featured on the HGTV Asia Facebook page. The five best questions submitted will also win an exclusive HGTV goodie bag.

When asked about his expectations for the tour, Drew Scott, the real estate half of the duo, said, “ I am excited to be back in the Philippines, having been to Manila before, I love its cultural landmarks, beautiful architecture and wonderful people. It is such an honor to be part of the HGTV launch in Asia, and delighted to have met the fans in the Philippines, answer all their questions about home design and get to know more about their lifestyle and culture.”

Echoing his brother’s sentiments, Jonathan Scott, an experienced contractor, commented, “It feels great to have been able to get up close and personal with the home and design enthusiasts in the Philippines. HGTV is the place to be if you are looking for home tips or creative ideas. We really enjoy what we do and we look forward to inspiring audiences with fresh ideas and authentic stories soon. ”

Derek Chang, Managing Director of Scripps Networks Interactive Asia Pacific said, “We are so pleased to have the opportunity to bring our brightest HGTV stars to the Philippines, and I look forward to working with our partners to bring HGTV to life. Home is something that is near and dear to our hearts and HGTV will be there for viewers – whether they are looking for ideas to transform their living spaces, to take a sneak peek into their dream homes or simply be entertained and uplifted by the emotional journeys of our HGTV personalities.”
