News about upcoming TARA5 application this year

LAOAG CITY, Oct. 20 (PIA) — Get ready for season 5 of the reality game show The Amazing Race Asia as it goes to Ilocos Norte.

The municipalities of Burgos, Bangui and Pagudpud in Ilocos Norte will be the show’s trail for season 5 which will be aired in next year’s episode.

The US-based reality show chose the seven great wonders Ilocos Norte for the utilization of the shows’ venue.
The Amazing Race Asia 5

The Amazing Race Asia Season 5 goes to Ilocos Norte
These spots include the Kaangrian falls, Avis falls, The Cape Bojedour which is thehighest light house in Asia, the famous Kapurpurawan rock formation all from Burgos, the Patapat bridge, the beaches of Pagudpud, and the first windmills in Asia located in Bangui.

Mayor Chrisente Garcia of Burgos said, “the team of the show were mesmerized with the tourist spots in our place and decided to shoot the episodes of the show here, upon the initiative of our provincial governor.”

“This is good because this will also be part of promoting tourism in our place,” he added.

The seven stop-overs in the place compliment the component and the game orientation of the show.

Basically, the structure of the race is for the teams to travel to different locations by following the route information, perform some various tasks, and checking in at the Pit Stop.

Teams normally complete all the tasks and check in at the Pit Stop before they are eliminated. Occasionally, on an elimination leg, if all other teams have checked in and the last team is very far behind, Route Markers may instruct them to go directly to the Pit Stop without completing the rest of the leg.

Milagros Gonzales, Chief of Department of Tourism Field office in Ilocos Norte, together with the mayor of Burgos, is currently having their field inspection to places where the show will commence.

The participants for the competition will be arriving this December to start the race. (ANL/CJD-PIA 1 Ilocos Norte)

now i know this says tara 5 but as they havent had any applacation stage i am thinking this may be tarau 2

Yeah. I think this is not TARA5 but TARAUS2. I'm glad that they're going to Ilocos Norte. That place is stunning!


Hi everyone :) I'm a newbie even though I've been following these threads for awhile...Thought It was about time I got off my butt and joined up!   

Anyway...It says on the first line..."Get ready for season 5 of the reality game show The Amazing Race Asia.." I think they are calling for applicants for season 5 of the Asian version...makes sense..they are up to season 4.

Laoag City will not be frist destanation because of lack of direct flights between australia and the philapeens

They can take a flight from Australia to Manila. Then take a domestic flight from Manila to Laoag or take a 12-13 hour bus.

I hypothesize the following would make suitable first desinations:
Auckland
Christchurch
Thailand
China
Japan
Fiji
Malaysia
Hawaii
Singapore
Taiwan
Vietnam
Los Angeles
San Fransisco


However, I would expect New Zealand and the USA to be destinations closer to the finish, because of the high amount of direct flights from these places that land in Australia in the late morning hours.

Hoping that the first leg is to New Zealand then to the Phillipines, if this was to happen the Race would have to start within the next few days unless the first two legs are in the Phillipines.

Also I hope they are going to India this time.

Legaspi again? Will this be TARA all over again? I hope they'll just go to Ilocos Norte or Cebu.

It'll most likely start right after the current american season ends, just like the first season. so it's mid-may

There has been an advertisement the past three nights during My Kitchen Rules. I saw the meat pie one, and the Mona Lisa one, and I think there might possibly have been another one too, but I'm not sure. :duno:

Yeah you're right, the same user that uploaded the first promo that Peach posted above also uploaded another one where the Eiffel Tower I think turns into a clothesline.
