The triumvirate of Tito, Vic and Joey lead the pack of "Eat Bulaga!" mainstays in the three–day Lenten drama specials scheduled to air on Holy Monday, April 10, until Holy Wednesday, April 12 beginning at 12 noon on GMA 7.
The episode of Tito, Vic and Joey is billed as "Ganyan Kita Kamahal" and is scheduled to hit the small screen on Holy Wednesday. This compelling drama tells the story of an ailing matriarch who requests her three children played by Tito, Vic and Joey, to help her end her sufferings.
How will the three brothers handle the wish of their sick mother? What will be the effect of their mother’s request on their relationship? These questions and more will be answered once the episode sees light this Wednesday. Lending able support to the three are Jimmy Santos, Ciara Sotto, Paolo Ballesteros, Sugar and Jose Manalo under the direction of Bibeth Orteza.
"Eat Bulaga’s" Holy Week editions proved to be an acting reunion for the famous comic trio. Kudos should be given to TAPE, Inc., producer of the noontime show, who can only be responsible in bringing back to the screen Tito, Vic and Joey.
Of course, aside from the episode of Tito, Vic and Joey, the featured episode on Monday and Tuesday should not be missed too.
Monday’s episode is titled "Mama" which revolves around the story of a cross–dressing make up artist named Betty. As the title suggests, Betty is mama to his co–workers, friends and nephews.
By a sudden twist of fate, Betty becomes a members of a Bible study group and through their influence, promises to change his lifestyle and beliefs. Will Betty succeed in his promise?
Starring in "Mama" episode are Michael V, Keempee de Leon, Francis Magalona, Pauleen Luna, Teri Onor, Toni Rose Gayda, BJ Forbes and Allan K from the direction also of Bibeth Orteza.
The featured special on Holy Tuesday is the mind–boggling drama, "Waiting Room" under the direction of Gina Alajar.
In this episode, seven patients are confined in a mysterious room and no one remembers anything except their names. With them in the room is a TV set where the programs being played are their lives before being thrown to the waiting room. Are they ready to face these realities?
Topbilling the Tuesday drama are Anjo Yllana, Ruby Rodriguez, Pia Guanio, Julia Clarete, Wally Bayola and Gladys Guevarra. Special guests are Ryan Eigenmann and Michael de Mesa.
The tradition of giving powerful and poignant stories during the Lenten season to the televiewers has been practiced by TAPE, Inc. several years ago. This year, it has opted to bring three stories of change and forgiveness.
Thus, take time out from the predictable fares on television and enjoy the episodes of "Ganyan Kita Kamahal," "Waiting Room" and "Mama" this season of Lent.
