This is the summary of Survivor Philippines Episode 4, which aired on September 18, 2008:
Hungry castaways at Jarakay Camp opened this episode. The guys were so hungry that they opted to eat raw fish that was starting to smell. The meal evolved into a test of the strength of each man’s stomach (why does everything have to be a competition with guys, huh?).

PAUTAKAN! PAGALINGAN! PATATAGAN!
That is the tagline of Survivor Philippines, which comes to primetime GMA 7 on September 15, 2008. The Philippine version of the hit reality show will closely follow the format that started in the U.S., including tribes, immunity challenges, and a tribal council. Host Paolo Bediones will take the role of Jeff Probst.

Eighteen castaways will compete to win 3 million pesos and the title of Sole Pinoy Survivor.
Who’s your pick to survive?
