Para-paraan: Roadmap to a Smarter Travel
Metro Manila commuting is an adventure, and Para-paraan helps Thomasians navigate the city’s intricate and ever-changing transportation system with ease. This game-style show features challengers betting on the fastest and most cost-efficient routes to reach their destinations, starting from UST. By exploring various transportation options, estimated travel times, and costs, the show helps students confidently navigate the metro.
“Para-Paraan lives through the production house’s goal of creating purposeful programming. As we constantly face issues in the transportation sector at large, we want to create a show that focuses on the lived experiences of the people that navigate the country’s complex transportation system daily. As lighthearted the show’s premise is, it features stories of struggle, adaptation, and resilience in mobility. We want to spark conversations, challenge perspectives, and help Thomasians navigate the metro, one stop at a time,” said by the Supervising Producer of Para-paraan, Dean Manuel Pinza.
By showcasing different transportation options, estimated travel times, and costs, Para-paraan ensures that Thomasians are well-equipped to explore the city. The show will air on UST Tiger TV on March 28, 2025, April 4, 2025, and April 11, 2025
Queen of the Arch: The Ultimate Thomasian Queen
Queen of the Arch showcases intelligence and grace in a three-episode pageant, following three Thomasian women competing for the title. These women, representing different faculties, will face challenges that assess their confidence, creativity, and advocacy for essential and meaningful causes.
“I’ve always admired the strength, confidence, and grace pageantry brings out in women. With Queen of the Arch, I wanted to create a show that celebrates the empowered Thomasian female. The journey to the crown begins at the arch—a symbol of every Thomasian woman’s path to growth, resilience, and success. I am beyond excited to bring this vision to life for the Thomasian community and for everyone to watch,” said by the Supervising Producer of Queen of the Arch, Allyana Hernandez.
While championing their beauties and advocacies, only one will stand out, earning the title, the crown, and the prestigious prizes. This show will air exclusively on UST Tiger TV on May 2, 2025, May 9, 2025, and May 16, 2025.
