LOOK: SURVIVOR TV SERIES SCOUTS DINAGAT ISLANDS FOR NEW SEASON

The dramatic, untouched landscapes of the Dinagat Islands may soon provide the backdrop for a global television spectacle, as producers of the hit reality series Survivor are set to scout the province for its upcoming season.

In a letter to provincial officials, John Bel Martinez of Philippine Film Studios, Inc. (PFSI), the local co-production partner for the international franchise, outlined plans for location scouting between December 2025 and January 2026. The search is for remote islands with minimal human footprint, ranging from lightly touched environments to completely uninhabited natural reserves.

In an interview Saturday, Governor Nilo Demerey Jr. welcomed the prospect, calling it a "tremendous opportunity" for the province.

โ€œThis is a tremendous opportunity for Dinagat Islands to be showcased on the global stage,โ€ he said. โ€œWe have islands that are pristine, untouched, and naturally breathtaking. These are perfect for the kind of immersive and rugged experience that Survivor is known for.โ€

He highlighted the project's potential to boost sustainable tourism and raise global awareness about the province's ecological richness. PFSI, which has facilitated Survivor productions for such countries as France, Sweden, and the United States, is known for working in challenging locations.

Martinez assured in his letter that the company would work closely with local officials and communities to ensure the process aligns with environmental and cultural sensitivities.

โ€œWe are ready to assist PFSI in identifying suitable sites and providing logistical support. This project could be a game-changer for Dinagat,โ€ Demerey said, pledging the provincial government's full cooperation.

If selected, a Dinagat Islands season would be a milestone, transforming the province into a prime destination for international adventure tourism and eco-conscious filmmaking.

PFSI, whose international collaborations include Apocalypse Now, Born on the Fourth of July, The Amazing Race, The Bourne Legacy, The Last Resort, and multiple international editions of Survivor, emphasized that Dinagatโ€™s untouched landscapes offer an exceptional setting for high-profile global productions.

Survivor Scouting Set Between December 2025 and January 2026
The production team specifically noted that DINAGAT ISLANDS stands out for its raw, pristine wilderness, attributes perfectly aligned with Survivorโ€™s iconic aesthetic. The islandโ€™s combination of uninhabited natural zones, minimal human interference, and dramatic seascapes places the province among the most visually compelling destinations in Asia.

This growing interest from global studios reflects not only Dinagatโ€™s extraordinary landscapes but also the trust and confidence in the provinceโ€™s current administration. Under the leadership of Governor Demerey, Dinagat Islands has seen increased visibility in tourism, strengthened partnerships with national and international institutions, and a consistent drive toward sustainable development.

A Boost for Tourism, Jobs, and Local Pride
Should the Survivor production push forward, Dinagat Islands stands to gain massive economic and cultural benefits, including:

โ€ข Potential long-term partnerships with global film and TV producers

Such opportunities align with Governor Demereyโ€™s strategic vision of developing Dinagat Islands as a premier eco-tourism and adventure destination, while ensuring that growth remains sustainable and respectful of local communities.

PFSIโ€™s interest marks a major milestone for the province, a signal that Dinagat Islands is entering a transformative new era. With its governorโ€™s steady leadership and the provinceโ€™s unmatched natural wonders, Dinagat is poised to claim its place on the international stage.

As scouting begins, excitement continues to build among residents, tourism advocates, and local officials who believe this could be a landmark moment for the future of Dinagat Islands.

Ang Dinagat Islands, ubos sa liderato ni Governor Nilo P. Demerey Jr., MPM, giplano sa Philippine Film Studios, Inc. (PFSI), ang nag-unang international co-production company sa nasud mihatag og pormal nga interes sa pagpili sa probinsya isip usa sa mga pangunahing filming location sa iladong Survivor franchise.

Si John Bel Martinez, Production Staff sa PFSI, misaysay nga ang Dinagat Islands usa ka โ€œpotential locationโ€ alang sa umaabot nga season sa bantog nga reality series nga ginasubay sa tibuok kalibutan.

Ang PFSI, nga nailhan sa mga kolaborasyon nga Apocalypse Now, Born on the Fourth of July, The Amazing Race, The Bourne Legacy, The Last Resort, ug daghang international editions sa Survivor, nagkanayon nga ang natural ug wala matandog nga katahum sa Dinagat naghatag og talagsaon nga setting alang sa mga high-profile global productions.

Survivor Scouting Nakatakda Gikan Disyembre 2025 Hangtod Enero 2026
Gipasiugda sa production team nga ang DINAGAT ISLANDS milabaw tungod sa hilabihan ka putli nga kinaiyahan niini, mga kinaiyahan nga hingpit nga nagtugma sa iconic aesthetics sa Survivor. Ang kombinasyon sa uninhabited natural zones, gamay ra nga interbensyon sa tawo, ug makabungog nga seascapes nagpahimutang sa probinsya isip usa sa labing matahum ug talagsaong destinasyon sa Asia.

Kini nga interes gikan sa mga global studios nagpakita dili lamang sa talagsaong katahum sa Dinagat Islands apan usab sa pagsalig ug pagdayeg sa kasamtangang administrasyon sa probinsya. Ubos sa pagdumala ni Governor Demerey, misaka ang visibility sa turismo, nilig-on ang mga partnership sa lokal, nasyonal, ug internasyonal nga institusyon, ug nagpadayon ang paningkamot padulong sa sustainable development.

Dakong Benepisyo sa Turismo, Trabaho, ug Garbo sa Komunidad
Kung modayon ang Survivor production, ang Dinagat Islands posibleng makadawat og dagkong benepisyong pang-ekonomiya ug pangkultura, lakip na ang:
โ€ข Internasyonal nga exposure sa turismo ngadto sa minilyon ka manan-aw sa tibuok kalibutan
โ€ข Oportunidad sa trabaho para sa lokal nga mga trabahante, tour guides, creatives, ug mga serbisyo
โ€ข Mas kusgan nga partisipasyon sa mga lokal nga komunidad
โ€ข Mas lig-on nga global recognition isip top-tier eco-destination
โ€ข Posibleng dugayng partnership sa global film ug TV producers

Kini nga mga oportunidad nagtugma sa estratehikong panan-aw ni Governor Demerey sa pagpalambo sa Dinagat Islands isip usa ka premier eco-tourism ug adventure destination samtang ginaprotektahan ang kalikupan ug ang interes sa mga lokal nga katawhan.

Ang interes sa PFSI usa ka dakong milestone alang sa probinsya, usa ka ilhanan nga ang Dinagat Islands nagasulod sa usa ka bag-ong yugto sa paglambo. Uban sa lig-on nga liderato sa gobernador ug talagsaong natural nga bahandi sa probinsya, andam ang Dinagat Islands nga makab-ot ang iyang dapit sa internasyonal nga entablado.

Samtang magsugod ang scouting, nagkataas ang kadasig sa mga residente, tourism advocates, ug lokal nga opisyal nga nagtuo nga kini mahimong usa ka historikal nga higayon nga makapabag-o sa kaugmaon sa Dinagat Islands.
