Manny Pacquiao leads elite Team Philippines in ‘Physical: Asia’ reality show
Netflix has released the official trailer for 'Physical: Asia,' showcasing Filipino athletes, led by boxing legend Manny Pacquiao, competing in a grueling survival challenge.
This new season is an expansion of the popular South Korean reality show 'Physical: 100,' but with a team-based format instead of individual competition.
The revamped competition features eight nations with six athletes each for a 48-strong field, blending elite athleticism with cultural tradition.
Team Philippines includes Manny Pacquiao, sambo fighter Mark "Mugen" Striegl, strongman Ray Jefferson Querubin, rugby player Justin Coveney, hurdler Robyn Lauren Brown, and crossfit athlete Lara Liwanag.
Pacquiao and his Team Philippines teammates will face off against other countries' sporting giants, including Korea's UFC legend Dong-hyun Kim, Australia's ex-UFC champion Robert Whittaker, and Thailand's muay thai world champion Superbon.
