The country’s Trivia King Kim Atienza is currently undergoing rigorous training in preparation for his triathlon this coming August. It’s his birthday wish to do well in the competition.
“I want to really learn how to swim for my coming Ironman 70.3 triathlon. I have to be able to swim 2 kilometers non-stop within one hour by August,” said Kuya Kim who will celebrate his birthday this Tuesday (Jan 23).
Known for his fearless stunts as anchor of ABS-CBN‘s reality-education program, Kuya Kim also revealed what he wishes to do in his multi-awarded show “Matanglawin.”
“I want to go to the North Pole,” he shared. After all his hard work showing what viewers can do during worst-case scenarios for the show’s upcoming episode, the whole production team gave him an unexpected birthday bash.
Over the past years, viewers have witnessed the bold and daring side of Kuya Kim who did spiels while lying down inside a coffin, lived in the jungle, went down a volcano crater, bitten by a monitor lizard, and even had a six-inch tube through his nose when he underwent laryngoscopy.
No wonder that the country’s leading award-giving bodies have recognized Kuya Kim as an outstanding educational program host. In 2011, Kuya Kim bagged awards from the PMPC Star Awards, ENPRESS Golden Screen TV Awards, Anak TV Seal, UP Gandingan, and USTv Awards.
Don’t miss the special birthday episode for Kuya Kim in “Matanglawin” this Sunday (Jan 22), 9:30 AM on ABS-CBN.
