October 29, 2014 (QUEZON CITY, PHILIPPINES) – One of the most memorable sitcoms in Philippine television history is set to make a comeback on November 2, Sunday (November 3, Monday Australian Daylight Saving Time or ADST) on The Filipino Channel’s (TFC) male-oriented channel, BRO.
“Palibhasa Lalake” will be returning to Filipino television worldwide via BRO channel and will air from Sundays to Thursdays (Mondays through Fridays, ADST), bringing a daily dose of nostalgia. Catch the show’s memorable characters once again, played by Richard Gomez, Joey Marquez, John Estrada, Gloria Romero, Amy Perez, Cynthia Patag, Carmina Villaroel, Mark Anthony Fernandez, Eric Fructoso, Jomari Yllana, Jao Mapa, Claudine Barretto, Rica Peralejo, G. Toengi, Anjo Yllana, Regine Tolentino, Lindsay Custodio, and many more.
“Palibhasa Lalake,” which debuted in 1987, is a story revolving around three males, Ricky (Gomez), Joey (Marquez), and Johnny (Estrada) who struggle to find true love while highlighting the funny side of the Pinoy machismo. To guide them through rough and hilarious times is their guardian, Tita Minerva Chavez (Romero) with her nieces Amy (Perez), and the child-like lady of the house, Cynthia (Patag).
As the show progressed over the years, garnering a huge following from the Philippine public, more up and rising stars have guested and have become household names. The show launched the careers of the handsome teen trio known as ‘Gwapings’ composed of Mark (Fernandez), Eric (Fructoso), and Jomari (Yllana, J.) and later on became a quartet with Jao (Mapa) joining the flock. In addition to the tightly knit cast of stars was the character of the loveable but somewhat different boy named, Tikyo (Yllana, A.). Since the show was predominantly composed of males, the show included then teenagers Barretto, Peralejo, Toengi, Tolentino, and Custodio, who have also become notable to the Philippine public.
Take a trip down memory lane and relive the hilarious antics of Ricky, Joey, Johnny, and the whole gang in “Palibhasa Lalake,” starting November 2, Sunday and which will run Sundays through Thursdays (starting November 3, Monday and will run Mondays through Fridays, ADST) on TFC’s BRO channel.
