Survivor Philippines: Celebrity Showdown launch party
On Monday night, August 30, past and present castaways of Survivor Philippines gathered at the Eivissa Super Club in Quezon City to witness the pilot episode of Survivor Philippines: Celebrity Showdown.
The castaways cheered as they watched the reality show that they shot in a remote island off the Andaman Sea in Thailand. Everyone partied the night away after the premiere.
