Slater joins Xyriel in 'Magic Shoes' episode of Wansapanataym

CEBU, Philippines - Pinoy Big Brother Unlimited big winner Slater Young joins Kapamilya child wonder Xyriel Manabat in setting a good example to the whole family this Saturday (June 23) in a special “Wansapanataym” episode that empowers kids to excel in everything that they do.

In the ‘Magic Shoes’ episode, Xyriel portrays the role of Bechay, a kid who doesn’t know how to dance. After her father died in an accident, Bechay tried on the shoes that she was supposed to give to her dad as a present when it suddenly fitted her feet and magically turned her into a great dancer. In order to help her mother in their financial problems, Bechay decided to use the shoes to win a dance contest. Can Bechay find enough confidence in herself to dance with her own feet when the magical shoes suddenly disappear?

Together with Xyriel and Slater in the episode are Susan Africa, Wowie de Guzman, Ciara Sotto, and Brenna Peñaflor. It is written by Arlene Tamayo and directed by Jon Villarin.

“Wansapanataym” is a part of ABS-CBN’s “Bida Best Kid” campaign launched recently that aims to empower children by encouraging them to become who they want to be and the best that they can be. It doesn’t only entertain and educate its young viewers with its values-oriented, child-friendly programs, but supports their dreams and aspirations as well.
