Published October 31, 2014 10:02am

"Psssst huy #askdrew not #AskMrsDrew," Drew Arellano tweeted in jest after his wife Iya Villania answered a question originally addressed to him on Twitter.

It was Friday, October 24 and “Biyahe Ni Drew's” Biyahero 101 Lessons was being shown on TV. In the episode, Drew shared useful travel tips to biyaheros and biyaheras and gave an exclusive peek at how a travel show like “Biyahe ni Drew” is made.

Online, the BND host simultaneously held #AskDrew, a Twitter live chat event where he answered questions about travel, food, adventure, and what he loves most about his job.
