    Award-winning film director Treb Monteras of the Cinemalaya 2017 Best Film Respeto, Visual Artist Nikki Luna, and News Reporter and Documentarist Atom Araullo will join Bedi on the show.

    The session will also have Hip Hop Artist Abra and Rock Musician Bamboo for a live performance, as well as other artists such as Louise Meets and Juan Miguel Severo for spoken word poetry and GB Labrador for a stand-up comedy.

    The Arts Hour on Tour is set to tackle the “artistic response to headline issues in Manila.” The show will air on BBC World Service on May 27 and 28, and shall be available on the BBC website after the first transmission. The show will take place at the Star Theater in the CCP Complex, Pasay City.
