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 back-to-back with the phenomenal gag show T.O.D.A.S. every Saturday night and the political satire Sic O'Clock News which moves to Tuesday 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.

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 9:15 in the evening after the last daily primetime teleserye in the primetime program block of the network.
