Also featuring a doctor-on-wheels surgeon

"High Street" star Andrea Brillantes sits down with Ganiel Krishnan as she reveals a painful past and how she draws from the experience when navigating life's trials in "Tao Po" this Sunday (May 19). 

Andrea also talks about the challenges of being a child star and growing up in the limelight. She and Ganiel also share light moments on the show as they teach each other signature poses and play a game of "2 Truths and a Lie."

Meanwhile, Victoria Tulad joins doctor-on-wheels surgeon Dr. Jim Sanchez on a meaningful trip where he reveals that his mother's untimely passing, caused by insufficient healthcare access in the country, inspired him to be a physician. Currently, his team serves approximately 120 patients a day, offering free surgeries to those with cleft lips, hernias, thyroid conditions, benign, and malignant soft tissue tumors. 

Kabayan Noli de Castro also shares the remarkable story of Benedicto Quinto from Candaba, Pampanga.  At 89 years old, Benedicto continues to ride his bicycle 2 kilometers daily to various rice mills, where he sweeps up leftover rice grains from the warehouse highway. Driven by his unwavering dedication, Benedicto explains that he cannot afford to stop working as he needs to support his family and his wife, who has diabetes.

Catch these inspiring stories this Sunday (May 19) on “Tao Po” at 6:15 pm on Kapamilya Channel, Kapamilya Online Live, A2Z, ABS-CBN News’ YouTube Channel, and iWantTFC.
