Y Speak Live

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Youth Speak is a youth-oriented debate show that discusses on Philippine issues. It has Ryan Agoncillo and Bianca Gonzalez as host. It airs Sunday nights on Studio 23.


It’s more than just talk! Now on its third year of giving voice to the youth, Studio 23’s flagship show Y Speak is now paving the way for breakthrough, edgy and uncensored youth documentaries on the hottest, most relevant and controversial youth issues in the country -- this, aside from revving up even more heated debates among the youth, celebrities, and the country's powers that be.

With endorsements from the Department of Education and National Youth Commission, recognition from Anak TV and The 2006 Catholic Mass Media Award as Best TV Talk Show, Y Speak has solidified its position as the frontliner in advancing the interests of the youth.

And who better to champion the youth spirit and sentiment than the powerful trio of beauty and brains Bianca Gonzalez, top caliber and award-winning host Ryan Agoncillo, and the most controversial and opinionated DJ today, Mo Twister. With them on the show, expect only the freshest insights, straightforward comments, and unrestrained opinions on every youth issue.

Backing up our hosts is the fun and fearless Y Speak Squad, composed of the most promising young celebrities today. They are Clever Cutie Vince Liwanag, Topnotch Debater Patricia Evangelista, Super Songster Sam Concepcion, Campus Jock JC Cuadrado, Fearless Partner Ricci Chan and Brainy Bud Mikee Lee. They go out, gather and showcase the top youth stories as they happen, where they happen.
