In the earlier days of 2015, Gutierrez embarked on his broadcasting journey with the adventurous and candid SAM AND MARD SHOW, alongside his co-host Samuel Olivar. As they traversed through the thrilling landscapes of Asia, they discovered and highlighted unique businesses and individuals, crafting an unscripted narrative that brought joy and inspiration to their audience. All the while, Gutierrez found his true passion was not in front of the camera as an actor, but behind it as a storyteller, sharing his experiences and adventures with the world.
But what truly sets Gutierrez apart from other broadcasters is his immersive approach to storytelling. Pasyal Tayo offers an unparalleled experience, allowing viewers to feel as if they’re part of Gutierrez’s travels. He doesn’t merely highlight the usual tourist spots, but delves into every nuance of the journey – from his airport experiences, airline reviews, to food and hotel evaluations. His shows present a rich tapestry of the places he visits, giving his audience an authentic taste of various cultures, traditions, and histories.
Yet, the path to success was not always smooth. Attracting viewers and making the show engaging posed significant challenges.

However, overcoming these obstacles only fueled his resolve, and with every setback, he found a new direction, further shaping the distinctive identity of Pasyal Tayo.

When asked about his greatest achievement in his career, Gutierrez’s response showcased his humility and gratitude. Beyond the celebrities, politicians, and artists he’s met, or the corporations he’s partnered with, Gutierrez treasures the relationships he’s built and the experiences he’s garnered along his journey. Most importantly, he attributes his achievements to his supportive family, emphasizing their pivotal role in his success.
Balancing personal and professional life in the demanding field of broadcasting can be challenging. But for Gutierrez, the two are seamlessly integrated. His personal life often bleeds into his work, making his travels more heartfelt and authentic. In his eyes, every moment, whether it’s during filming or downtime, offers a chance to discover and share.

As an ambassador of global culture, he aspires to share his experiences to inspire others, encouraging them to embark on their own journeys of self-discovery. To achieve this, Gutierrez emphasizes the importance
of prayer and seeking guidance as a crucial part of his journey.

Throughout his journey, Gutierrez experienced numerous failures and setbacks. However, he viewed these not as discouragements, but rather as learning opportunities. He took them as signposts, guiding him to alternate routes that eventually lead him to success. This constructive perspective towards failure is something that he emphasizes for newcomers in the field, advocating the idea that roadblocks are merely detours in disguise.
