The new ABS-CBN Studio Experience
Have you ever dreamt of being a “Pinoy Big Brother” housemate, wondered who among “The Voice” judges would turn if you audition, or wanted to try the Fast Talk questions in “Tonight With Boy Abunda”? You now have a chance to experience what it is like to be in your favorite TV program as the country’s leading media and entertainment network opens the ABS-CBN Studio Experience, or Studio XP, at the Ayala Malls TriNoma in Quezon City this Sunday (September 16).
According to ABS-CBN Themed Experiences Inc. head Cookie Bartolome, the new Studio XP is divided into three parts—Reality, Fantasy, and Retail Studios—with 15 attractions and full scale set reconstructions crafted to present a jam-packed ABS-CBN experience in a one-stop site.
“We took inspiration from Kapamilyas who are curious and eager to feel what it’s like to be inside the network’s studios. The vision was really to bring ABS-CBN closer to the people,” Cookie shared.
Inside the Reality Studio, visitors get to be a participant in various Kapamilya shows: such as a housemate doing tasks in “Pinoy Big Brother” Breakout under Kuya’s guidance, and a contestant beating the time at “Minute To Win It”: The Experience to become the Last Man Standing.
More delight awaits visitors at the “The Voice” Open Mic. Find out who among the virtual coaches—Bamboo, Lea Salonga, Sarah Geronimo, and Sharon Cuneta—will turn as blind auditionees sing their hearts out.
Star Lab visitors will take the spotlight as they dabble in singing duets and perform dramatic scenes with Kapamilya artists, throw punchlines with the cast of “Goin’ Bulilit,” and take the hot seat in “Tonight With Boy Abunda’s” Fast Talk.
Others can try behind-the-scenes Studio XP challenges, such as the role of a TV crew member in “It’s Showtime” Director’s Booth where they get to orchestrate a variety show, with all the excitement, tension, and drama of live production.
Guests will also enjoy the intimate 80-seater Kapamilya Theater where they get to watch 4D movies, live shows, and other events, or compete in a multiplayer game with “Misyon: Ang Probinsyano” (a patintero-based game) or the “Ang Propesiya: La Luna Sangre” (an agawan base game). They can also watch the country’s first and only 4D production—“ASAP 4D”— an exclusive offering of the Kapamilya Theater.
During random times, Kapamilyas may also receive a surprise, live video call from an ABS-CBN star through the Celebrity Calling booth.
The Fantasy Studio, meanwhile, provides more thrilling attractions for the adventure-seeker, such as the Action Academy, an obstacle course offering stunt trainees a chance to compete in speed and strength ala Cardo Dalisay or Darna.
The ARX—an augmented reality game—allows group of participants to beat out virtual monsters together in an exciting match, while guests 12 years old and below will enjoy the expansive Superheroes Playground, along with other select Studio XP attractions.
Visitors of the sprawling, 1,400 sqm-studio city are all welcomed at the Walk of Fame leading to the Heritage Hall where they get to see vintage memorabilia and broadcasting equipment, including the Millennium Transmitter, one of the network’s most recognized symbol.
Keepsakes are abundant inside as aside from the #Starsnaps photo booth, where guests can have pictures with their favorite celebs, and the Star Catcher, a claw machine containing autographed items from Kapamilya stars, they can also avail of unique finds at the Retail Studio featuring the hottest ABS-CBN Store merchandise.
To cap the whole Kapamilya experience, visitors should gobble on the new Heroes Burger offerings. The organic burger joint has Pinoy Komiks-themed food products, featuring the well-loved characters of Darna, Captain Barbell, and Lastikman.
Guests can enjoy Studio XP at affordable rates, with XPass Prime tickets priced at P375 for first-timers and at P350 for returning guests with access to all attractions except #Starsnaps and Star Catcher. There is also the XPass Lite option at P300 for first-timers and at P275 for returning visitors which excludes access to the Kapamilya Theater, #Starsnaps and Star Catcher. Be prepared to spend about two and a half hours in a shift to take full advantage of the fun inside.

ABS-CBN Studio Experience magbubukas na sa Sept. 16
Pinangarap mo bang maging housemate sa “Pinoy Big Brother,” hinulaan kung sinong “The Voice” coach ang iikot para sa’yo, o ninais na sagutin ang Fast Talk questions sa “Tonight With Boy Abunda?” Narito na ang iyong pagkakataong maranasang maging bahagi ng mga paborito mong programa dahil magbubukas na ang ABS-CBN Studio Experience, o Studio XP, sa Ayala Malls TriNoma sa Quezon City sa darating na Linggo (Setyembre 16).
Ayon sa ABS-CBN Themed Experiences Inc. head na si Cookie Bartolome, nahahati ang bagong Studio XP sa tatlong bahagi—ang Retail, Fantasy, at Retail Studios—na mayroong 15 attractions at full scale set reconstructions na binuo para i-level-up ang ibibigay na Kapamilya experience ng ABS-CBN sa iisang lugar lamang.
“Naging inspirasyon namin ang mga Kapamilya na nagnanais na maranasan at nananabik masilip ang studios sa loob ng network. Sa pamamagitan ng Studio XP, nais naming ilapit pa ang ABS-CBN sa mga Pilipino,” kwento ni Cookie.
Sa loob ng Reality Studio, maaaring maging contestant sa Kapamilya shows: bilang housemate na may task sa “Pinoy Big Brother” Breakout kasama si Kuya; at lumaban sa “Minute To Win It”: The Experience at maging Last Man Standing.
Dagdag saya pa ang pwedeng maranasan sa “The Voice” Open Mic. Alamin kung sino sa virtual coaches na sina Bamboo, Lea Salonga, Sarah Geronimo, at Sharon Cuneta ang iikot sa mga susubok sa blind auditions.
Bibida naman ang mga bisita na makikibahagi sa Star Lab, kung saan pwedeng maki-duet or umarte kasama ang Kapamilya artists, magpatawa kasama ang cast ng “Goin’ Bulilit,” at subukan ang hot seat sa Fast Talk ng “Tonight With Boy Abunda.”
Sa mga nagnanais naman sumubok sa mga gawain sa likod ng camera, pwedeng pasukin ang “It’s Showtime” Director’s Booth at maging bahagi ng TV crew na haharap sa excitement at drama ng isang live production.
Tiyak na mae-enjoy din ng mga bibista ang 80-seater Kapamilya Theater na magpapalabas ng 4D movies, live shows, at iba pang masasayang events. Tampok dito ang kauna-unahang 4D production ng bansa—ang ASAP 4D—na dito lamang pwedeng mapanood. Maaari ding sumali sa multiplayer games, tulad ng “Misyon: Ang Probinsyano” (isang patintero-based game) o ng “Ang Propesiya: La Luna Sangre” (isang agawan base game).
Sa hindi inaasahang araw at oras, maaaring makatanggap ang mga Kapamilya ng sorpresang live video call mula sa isang ABS-CBN star sa Celebrity Calling booth.
Samantala, tampok naman sa Fantasy Studio ang attractions para sa mahilig sa adventure, tulad ng Action Academy, isang obstacle course kung saan maglalaban-laban ang stunt trainees sa bilis at lakas mala-Cardo Dalisay o Darna.
Isa pang nakaaliw na laro ang ARX o augmented reality game kung saan haharap ang isang grupo sa virtual monsters na dapat nilang talunin.
Ang mga batang may edad 12 years old pababa naman ay siguradong magsasaya sa Superheroes Playground habang pwede rin nilang subukan ang iba pang Studio XP attractions.
Bubungad sa 1,400 sqm-studio city ang Walk of Fame patungo sa Heritage Hall kung saan makikita ng mga bisita ang ilan sa vintage memorabilia at broadcasting equipment, partikular na ang Millennium Transmitter, isa sa tanyag na simbolo ng network.
