Biyaheng Langit is aired every Sunday at 10:45 pm to 11:00 pm PST over the People's Television Network and is produced by Heavenly Images Productions for Television, Inc.
The show has been hosted by Rey Langit following his failed senatorial bid in the 1998 Presidential Elections through the Partido para sa Demokratikong Reporma–Lapiang Manggagawa (Reporma–LM). His first co-hosts were the late Reyster Langit, who died of heart failure due to cerebral malaria, a disease he contracted in Palawan while he was on assignment,[1] and Sarah Balabagan, who was known for her trial in the United Arab Emirates. They were replaced by Reyster's surviving brother, Reynante "JR" Langit, Jr.
History
Biyaheng Langit was first aired on April 8, 2000, via Radio Philippines Network. Rey Langit, who had an unsuccessful senatorial bid in the 1998 Presidential Elections through the Partido para sa Demokratikong Reporma–Lapiang Manggagawa (Reporma–LM) two years ago, was joined by his late son Reyster Langit[2] and Sarah Balabagan.
On June 3, 2005 Reyster died of heart failure due to cerebral malaria, a disease he contracted while on assignment in Palawan for Kasangga Mo Ang Langit.[3] Following his death, Rey's surviving son, JR, has since joined him not only for Biyaheng Langit but also for Kasangga Mo Ang Langit.
