January 7, 2017

The country’s third-ranked network, IBC-13, is opening the year 2017 with two new comedy sitcoms added to the strong line-up for their weekend primetime programming and focusing on light entertainment, ergo, comedies.

(photo: Keith Cruz (school uniform) (school chair) (for pencil and paper), Raisa Dayrit (school uniform) (school chair) (notebook), Joyce Abestano (school uniform) (school chair) (for book)): Like the old one featuring the Escalera brothers, but unfortunately, instead of Wanbol University, the new IBC-13 and Secarats-produced sitcom Iskul Bukol, will follow the hilarious and exciting high school teen story of the Escalera sisters, Keith (Keith Cruz, wearing school uniform) and Joyce (Joyce Abestano, wearing school uniform) and Raisa (Raisa Dayrit, wearing school uniform), in the public high school Diliman High School.

“IBC-13 is really into comedies. So it’s [all about] sports, dramas and light entertainment as IBC-13’s stated toward less “happy” and more drama programs made a huge surprise.” They started with the local adaptation of 2011 Korean drama Glory Jane, said Francisco Abuan, Jr., the owner and producer of Secarats Talent Management Services, then followed up with the top-rating afternoon curriculum-based drama High School Life. Now, IBC-13 will introduce another trend of curriculum-based entertainment with the return of the longest-running sitcom, Iskul Bukol tonight, January 7. Another sitcom Vic & Leen, which replace The Million Peso Money Drop tomorrow (Sunday, starring January 8).

Wilma V. Galvante, IBC-13 Chief Entertainment Officer, explained that the idea of reviving old concepts and TV programs happened after producers approached the network for the line producer of Secarats. "It just happened that all these happened one after the other. After bringing back the longest-running gag show T.O.D.A.S. in 2010 and the well-loved drama anthology Joe D'Mango's Love Notes in 2014, IBC-13 will have revivals from now on. We are just happy that IBC-13 have the chance to bring back all these classic hits for today’s TV audience," Galvante told reporters.

It can be attested in the range of entertainment genres that is being offered on IBC-13. Their programming offering the traditional quality drama and fantasy, game and reality shows, variety shows, action-packed sports (NBA and PBA), the weekend late primetime Tagalog movies and now IBC-13 regained the sitcom which Kapinoy Comedy pioneered.

In preparation for its 40th anniversary of Iskul Bukol, the Escalera brothers, Professor Ungasis and Miss Tapia are some of the characters that made Iskul Bukol a household name in the ’80s and an instant hit when it premiered on IBC-13 in 1977. It was one of the longest-running sitcoms at all time which pioneered the situational comedies in the history of Philippine television was a top-rater during the late ‘70s and ‘80s.

The movies were also made popular one with Iskul Bukol: The Movie in 1977, Iskul Bukol Fresmen in 1980, The Best of Iskul Bukol: The Movie in 1987 and Iskul Bukol 20 Years After (The Ungasis and Escaleras Adventure) in 2008 which Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto and Joey de Leon reunited for the comedy movie. The original Iskul Bukol became one of the longest-running sitcoms on Philiippine television, airing from 1977 to 1990. It was centered on the wacky and funny side of campus life. For thirteen years, viewers followed the misadventures of Tito Sotto (who played Tito Escalera), Vic Sotto (as Vic Ungasis) and Joey de Leon (as Joey Escalera) in the now-defunct Wanbol University. It was spawned characters that have become household names like the terror teacher Miss Tapia (played by Mely Tagasa), cafeteria owner Mang Temi (Bing Angeles), and a gay student Tonette Macho (Anthony Raquel). A sequel to Iskul Bukol entitled Back to Iskul Bukol aired from 1999 to 2000 and the reimagining remake version of Iskul Bukol aired on TV5 in 2011.

From the classic 80s sitcom which will first featured the comic triumvirate of Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto and Joey de Leon, is now in a millennial high school level as the much-awaited curriculum-based sitcom, the new Iskul Bukol will be the first ever sitcom of IBC-13 partnered with Secarats Talent Management Services and regained itself as a revival that will be turned into a curriculum-based sitcom combining a mix of high school, family-oriented and comedy, featuring today's hottest female teen stars: the Runaway Princess Keith Cruz, the Comedienne Princess Raisa Dayrit and introducing Bida Best 2016 gorgeous second runner-up and the Teen Comedy Princess Joyce Abestano, with the King of All Media Tonton Gutierrez in his very first primetime TV sitcom.

The original sitcom made a comeback, but this time not in Wanbol University, due to a much-awaited curriculum-based sitcom aligned to the K-12 high school curriculum of the Department of Education (DepEd) and would like to concentrate on a millennial high school level which will be set in Diliman High School, the public high school as the current setting for the sitcom wherein the high school life of three high school classmate girls and other characters (a mix of junior and senior high school classmates, teachers and a gay principal) that will encounter the lessons in good values in and outside the home, and develop the classmates' friendship.

The millennial high school era of Iskul Bukol is a mix of their Secarats Artist Group young talents, IBC Talent Center artists, veteran actors, a gay radio DJ personality and female comediennes.

Joining Keith, Raisa, Joyce and Tonton in the stellar cast of the new Iskul Bukol are Alodia Gosiengfiao as Teacher Alodia, the very nice teacher of Diliman High School; Mr. Fu as the principal of DIliman High School himself, Principal Oscar; Mely Tagasa as the resident high school teacher Miss Tapia; Kazel Kinouchi as Teacher Kazel, the beautiful teacher of Diliman High School; JC Tejano as the good-looking but nerdy Sir Rude, the adviser and high school newspaper editor of Diliman High School; Patrick Destura as Patrick Loyzaga, the popular high school boy as Joyce's love interest; Justin Ward, Harold Rementilla and introducing Andres Muhlach; Tess Antonio as the cafeteria owner Aning Francia and her assistant Aldred Gatchalian as Alwyn; and Victor Basa as the coach of volleyball in Diliman High School himself Raffy.

Under the direction of Bert de Leon and Nilyano Retna, and written by Kay Conlu-Brondial and Mary Lhuvirizz Martin, Iskul Bukol is the high school teen story of three young girls: the Escalera sisters Keith (Cruz), an ordinary high school teenager and Joyce (Abestano), a cute and sassy high school girl and Raisa Ungasis (Dayrit), an attractive and intelligent high school girl, who just studied at the public high school Diliman High School where they learn the lesson about the classmates' friendship of high school life.

They learn a very valuable lesson in life for the classmates' friendship in Diliman High School when Keith and Joyce's father Tonton (Gutierrez) involve in the public high school. On their first day at Diliman High School, they meet Teacher Alodia (Gosiengfiao)  a very nice teacher who rewarded their classmates and involve on the friendship of the Escalera sisters and her favorite classmate Raisa. Tonton involve Teacher Alodia to teach and learn the high school classmate Raisa as they involve the friendship of the Escalera sisters Keith and Joyce.

“High school is a very popular (with teenagers)... our target audience are the fascination of high school classmates wearing high school uniforms at the age of 13 to 19 years old and above, so we wanted to [show] the lighter side of their three girls because it educate them and as a curriculum-based sitcom will focus on a light and funny school-oriented storyline, it targets a young audience: they portray high school life in a funny way. You see them in a mix of junior and senior high school as their classmates and then you see another side of them that’s fun,” Ms. Galvante said.

Keith knows that the millennial high school era of the new Iskul Bukol, which will be similar to the former teen sitcom Luv U on ABS-CBN. “I’m now so used in primetime soap operas, fantaseryes and variety shows. A refreshing return in a sitcom that aim to bring back the glory days of primetime comedies. Kapinoy Comedy marks another sitcom for weekends.” With this partnership, IBC-13 considered that Secarats Talent Management Services (STMS) remained as the line producer. "Iba kasi yung characters nung Iskul Bukol original. Pag aral ng Iskul Bukol, sila ay Tito, Vic and Joey. At ngayon, may bagong Iskul Bukol na para sa high school level, sila ay Keith, Raisa and Joyce ang tatlong high school classmates sa loob ng Diliman High School."

The show will also be the cute and sassy high school girl in her first acting job, which Abestano descrived as a “cute and sassy high school girl” while she remained popularity. "Originally, ang Iskul Bukol before ay Tuesday. At ngayon, my timeslot ang Iskul Bukol ay Saturday. Ako ang classmate ng high school na mas maagang oras." Si Keith Escalera at si Raisa Ungasis sa bagong Iskul Bukol nasa Diliman High School na," told Joyce.

"While we already dominate much of the high school level concept, we have made some adjustments to make the show more educate and empower to today’s viewers when it comes to delivering jokes in their sitcom," Galvante said. “We’ve coordinated our teenagers in an effort to educate every Saturday so we can rest and at the same time devote several hours of regular school time after the taping -- it's a regular class on weekdays, much like public high school... when the tapings are only on Tuesday or usually scheduled on Saturday so it’s a once a week,” Joyce said in vernacular.

“There’s still in high school already study it should be for teens,” Ms. Galvante said, explaining the network’s aggressiveness when it comes to comedies and light entertainment in general.

The curriculum-based sitcom will also feature Cacai Bautista as Keith's nanny; Matthew Mendoza as the foster father of the Escalera family himself Mr. Matthew, Mariel Rodriguez as Raisa's mother and Boom Labrusca as Raisa's father; and the high school classmates of Diliman High School: Patrisha Samson, Analyn Nacion, Zonia Mejia, Dexie Daulat, Aries Ace Espanola, Leann Ganzon, Lorin Gabriella Bektas and Miguel David.

Vic & Leen is, of course, a romantic comedy about the officeman Vic (Victor Anastacio) and the sizzle heiress hottie girl Leen (Valeen Montenegro), who paired for love with their romantic relationship, He works in the office who determined as an officemate, while she does in the sizzle hot for love. Will Vic and Leen fall in love for relationship? Joining Victor and Valeen in the sitcom are Joey Paras, April Gustilo, Caloy Alde, Aiza Marquez, KC Montero, Rufa Mi, Tricia Santos, John James Uy, Chienna Filomeno and Julian Estrada.
