IBC launches the kiddie version of TODAS

August 29, 2014

We remember of the 80's gag show TODAS (Television's Outrageously Delightful All-Star Show). The kiddie version of the gag show called TODAS Kids, airing from Monday to Friday at 11:30 a.m. to 12 noon.

After Viva Entertainment bought a massive chunk of IBC-13’s airtime and virtually converted the channel into a sports and entertainment platform, there was absolutely nothing left for kiddie audiences. For the first time in its history, the station could enter a single program in the Anak TV derby.

Boots Anson-Roa, the station’s president and CEO, was bothered that IBC-13, technically a ‘sequestered’ TV station, that required TV stations to devote at the airtime to child-friendly fare. Boots resolutely pushed for the revival of the children's programming. It was to be an educational gag show, culminating in the selection of the forthcoming revival’s kiddie stars and young stars.

Some of its child stars: JM and JC Urquico, Abby Bautista, Thirdy Lacson, Mavy and Cassy Legaspi, Alfred Nasayao, Mutya Orquia, Andres Muhlach, Atasha Muhlach, Lance Lucido, Sofia Millares, Louise Abuel, Miel Cuneta, Harvey Bautista, Kendra Kramer, Bimby Aquino-Yap, Timoyhy Chan, Izzy Canillo and Gerald Pesigan, together with the teen stars Marlo Mortel, Janella Salvador, Francis Magundayao and Ella Cruz.

Early this week, after a five-day training program in today's young stars, kids showed up at IBC-13 studios in Broadcast City, spruced up and primed to present their intellectual wares to a panel of judges.

Adding to the network look, the kids at aged 5-14 and teen aged 15 to 18, slung as though they were bona fide members of the fourth estate. They were wired as cameras whirred around them, catching their speeches and gestures in kiddie show fashion. We attended several workshops such as lighting and audio workshop, camera operation, and editing.
