Manila, Philippines— One of the lovable things about sitcoms is how relatable they can be. Visit the Puregold Channel to watch “GVBOYS: Pangmalakasang Good Vibes”, a free digital sitcom that follows the lives of three young men who live in a boarding house owned by a woman named Aling Pearly (played by sitcom veteran, Ms. Carmi Martin).
The story’s plot revolves around three young men and how they deal with concerns such as adulting, financial challenges, love, friendship and compassion.
The three boys–played by Jerome Ponce, Nikko Natividad, and Dave Bornea–try to help Aling Pearly raise money which she owes Loisa Soberano (played by Wilma Doesnt) and in the process, fall in love, chase their dreams, and get into humorous situations.
In the third episode of “GVBOYS”, Jawo is shooting for a commercial booked by Kathryn B (Aling Pearly’s brother). When things get out of hand, Kathryn steps in to do a kissing scene in his place. This ends in Kathryn being punched by the boyfriend of the actress he kisses in the scene, jeopardizing their roles.
