Derek Wong, Vice President and Head of Production and Creative for KC Global Media Asia, the network that owns AXN Asia along with leading Asian content channels Animax, ONE and GEM, said about the show, “There’s no better way to learn more about a place than asking those who call it home. On My Hometown Is G.O.A.T., audiences will see different destinations through the lens of true locals, and in the process they will also get a chance to know the Filipino celebrity hosts more personally as each of them revisits their roots and shares about their childhoods.”
