Wanbol University is back with a new trio via ‘Wanbol U’

June 1, 2019

Claiming to be the comedy capital of the Philippines, the original sitcom Wanbol U will join IBC 13's primetime comedy sitcom lineup, including the Joyce Abestano-starrer phenomenal curriculum-based sitcom Iskul Bukol, which airs every Saturday night, the phenomenal gag show T.O.D.A.S. every Wednesday night and the political satire Sic O'Clock News which moves to Friday night slot into a weekly comedy newscast.

Here are the complete cast for Wanbol U.

Kenzo Gutierrez, Manolo Pedrosa and Joshua Garcia

Members of its cast include Kenzo Gutierrez as Kenzo Balidosa, one of the notorious twins; Manolo Pedrosa as the good-looking Manolo Valentino, the student freshman at Wanbol University; and Joshua Garcia as Joshua Balidosa, one of the notorious twins.

Together with the trio are Candy Pangilinan as Wanbol University’s prefect of discipline and professor Miss Candy; Romnick Sarmenta as Mang Romnick, the cafeteria owner; Prince Clemente as freshman student’s assistant Prince Larena; Jane de Leon as Kenzo's female roommate and fellow student Jane Villaneuva; Kayne Lacuna as Kayne Anson; Shiara Dizon as a social climber and poser girl Shiara Lustre; Katarina Rodriguez as teacher's assistant Miss Katarina, and Ali Khatibi as Mang Romnick's assistant and the cafeteria's waiter Ali Manzano. The show will be directed by Jose Javier Reyes and Dante Nico Garcia.

It hopes to help the comedy genre on TV, even if only during weekends. So the dramas gave completely overtaken primetime TV on week nights and days. Sitcoms have shown potential, based on the success being enjoyed by Iskul Bukol, the top-rating and award-winning phenomenal curriculum-based sitcom for high school students and teachers on the secondary level.

IBC 13 will be focusing on talent development in 2019, so they're giving these three young actors in Wanbol U, which is just one of the new shows that was presented to the press by IBC exec Wilma Galvante who officially announced all their plans for 2019.

We just hope that the new generation of the rebirth of Wanbol University led by Kenzo, Manolo and Joshua known as the Balidosa twins and Manolo Valentino, inspired by the legendary sitcom of Tito, Vic and Joey known as the Escalera brothers.

As the new IBC Tuesday sets the trend towards a faster-paced primetime. It is expected that Wanbol U premieres on IBC 13 this coming June 4, 2019 at 9:00 in the evening after the last daily primetime teleserye in the primetime program block of the network.

THE NETWORK
 * As the national television network under the supervision of the President Communications Operations Office (PCOO), the People's Television as PTV unveils a new look with a new line of programs set to define a wider coverage. It is a government-owned and controlled corporation created by law, Republic Act 7306 amended by Republic Act 10390.
 * PTV began operations in 1974 as GTV-4. It was renamed Maharlika Broadcasting System in 1980.
 * On March 26, 1992, President Corazon C. Aquino signed Republic Act 7306, turning PTV Network into a government corporation known formally as People's Television Network, Inc. (PTNI).
 * In June 1992, the network was given a one-time equity funding for capital outlay. Since 1992, PTV has been operating on revenues it generates on its own. RA 7306 stipulates that the government shall not allocate funds for the operations of the network.
 * PTV has been on full satellite transmission nationwide since 1992. Its flag station, PTV-4, which is based in Quezon City, boasts of a 40-kilowatt transmitter sitting on a 500-foot tower. With its 27 provincial stations and its affiliation with over 800 cable systems across the country, the network has extended its reach to approximately 85% of the television viewing public nationwide.
 * Since then, PTV has set a new trend in the television industry by being the first to acquire digital technology. It is also the first network to use all solid-state transmitters in its provincial stations with power ranging from 1kw to 10kw. It is also the first station to convert its satellite transmission to digital compression as well as simultaneous transmission of main programs to the Network's provincial stations and independent cable TV systems.
 * PTV is also known for the excellence it has shown in the late 80s by garnering several awards for three succeeding years from the Catholic Mass Media Awards and producing several award-winning programs.
 * For the past years, PTV exerted efforts in finding ways to improve the network. In fact, they have converted their satellite transmission recently to digital video compression making it possible for interactive Satellite News Gathering transmission during news and special events coverage.

PROFILE (People's Television Network)
 * Television is the most effective medium for relaying messages to various publics and the People's Television Network (PTV 4) is proud to be on the air to bring news and information to the nation. PTV 4 is doubly proud to be present and serving right from the start - on February 24, 1986 - the third day of the EDSA Revolution. The station was on the air bringing much awaited news to an information-hungry Filipino nation.
 * Immediatetly upon taking over a heavily damaged broadcast facility, the People Power volunteers found an MBS-4 looted of equipment, with no program inventory, and with only one hundred fifty-four pesos (P154,00) left in cash from a 1986 budges of sixty million pesos (P60M) and a few employees and equipment to do Malacanang's bidding. Even the employees had no tenure. The new PTV 4 was able to rise, phoenix-like, from the ruins of its predecessor, and in the span of 6 years, achieved many things.
 * PTV 4 has never been, officially, a government station. No money from the national government has been funded the station. PTV 4 has been funding from the General Appropriations Act (Annual National Budget) and sales from blocktimers, among others. All its funds are self-generated.
 * INNOVATIVE PUBLIC INFORMATION
 * 1. Maintained a balance of views - a compleye turn around from the heavily handed censorship of its predecessor MBS-4 during the Marcos regime.
 * 2. Carved out innovations in news programming as the only TV station with a morning show Morning Talaga; four major newscasts Daily Info, Sentro Balita, Ulat Bayan and PTV News Headlines; and daily and hourly newsbreaks PTV Newsbreak.
 * 3. Led in public affairs programming with pioneers such as: BizNews, Iskoolmates and Public Eye which became forerunners of public affairs programs in Philippine television.
 * Pros & Cons
 * 4. Provided models for public service programs such as Sulong Pilipinas, Digong 8888 Hotline and Damayan Ngayon.
 * 5. PTV has also partnered with several government agencies in co-producing shows designed to bring government services closer to the people. These programs include GSIS Member Hour, The Doctor Is In: Made More Fun, DOSTv: Science for the People and Cabinet Report sa TeleRadyo.
 * 6. Provided lessons for educational programs such as Chemistry in Action, Physics in Everyday Life, Science Made Easy, Fun with Math and CONSTEL English.
 * 7. Provided popular for entertainment programming, including the station-produced shows like the daily noontime show Yes Yes Yow, the daily game show PCSO Lottery Draw and two musical variety shows Paco Park Presents and An Evening with Raoul.
 * 8. PTV also partners with SMAC Television Production, including the daily primetime soap opera family drama series Angelita, the sketch comedy sitcom The Marriel Show, the romantic drama anthology Dear Heart, the Sunday noontime youth-oriented musical variety show SMAC Pinoy Ito!, the fantasy sitcom Genie in a Bottle and the reality talent competition Artista Teen Quest.
 * 9. Provided leadership in sports programming, like PTV Sports, Auto Review and the National Basketball League (NBL).
 * 10. Broke the dominance of commercial television networks, when in 2016, it ranked number four in TV ratings among five networks in Metro Manila. It was proven, therefore, that a government TV station can be a sizeable share of the viewing audience with a programming that is balanced and credible.
 * 11. Became the first Hall of Fame awardee of the Catholic Mass Media Awards (CMMA) by winning the Best Station with Most Balanced Programming for three consecutive years, among other awards.
 * 12. Provided longer daily broadcast hours to news and public affairs information, including coverage during natural disasters.
 * From an MBS-4 with poor ratings, a small outreach and looted-of-equipment network in 1986, PTV 4 now ranks among the top networks in terms of nationwide reach and coverage. The network embarked on a Facilities Upgrading Project with assistance from the French government. Under the Second and Third French Protocols of 1990 between the Philippine and French governments, PTV 4 was recipient of FF74.2 million (P28 M) in the form of transmitter facilities, studio, video and equipment.
 * PTV 4 now broadcasts from its new headquarters at the Philippine Information Agency compound in Visayas Avenue, Diliman, Quezon City.
 * PTV 4 launched its satellite-simulcast broadcast programming last February 14, 1992 for nationwide outreach. With the acquisition of the uplink equipment to match the Transponder 54 of the Palapa B2P Satellite lease from Telkom, Indonesia, PTV 4 operates on a full-time satellite broadcast 24 hours a day.
 * Programming is 11% News; 13% Public Affairs; 16% Educational; 19% Sports; 36% Entertainment and 5% Religious.
