Bubble Gang Dis Is Siete - the 17th anniversary special!

In the beginning, there was Michael V and Ogie Alcasid, the founding fathers of Bubble Gang. Then on the second day, there was Boy 2 Quizon and they made it even better. Then, there was Antonio Aquitania and my God, they made it even better than before. Later on, there are Bubblets named Sam Pinto, Jackie Rice, Gwen Zamora, and Ellen Adarna. On the fifth day, there's Diego and sheesh...ugliness reigns supreme. On the sixth day, Maureen Larrazabal and Ruffa Mae Quinto heralded the whole show. And now it's this! Bubble Gang Dis Is Siete. The show's 17th anniversary celebration and this anniversary special is bigger because it has five short flicks made by five indie film directors!

Deadspot

Deadspot is one of the five short flicks in this special. It was written by Henry Maceda and directed by Topel Lee (Amorosa). Michael V. and Gwen Zamora stars in this short flick where they want to make themselves an affair at the dark when suddenly, something scary occurs between them. Is it a dream or is it REAL?!

Sampal

Written by Chito Francisco and directed by Soxie Topacio, Sampal tells the tale of Janessa (played by their residential ugly horse, Diego Llorico) who has a dark past because of...well, as the title suggests, sampal! Janessa once met a wealthy man and then she married him but sadly, her husband dies but happily, she now has the wealth of her husband's so she can seek revenge on her family...or is she? Also starring Antonio Aquitania, Maureen Larrazabal, Moymoy, Jackie Rice, Ellen Adarna and special guests Odette Khan, Roldan Aquino, and Victor Aliwalas. It's all slaps galore in your face!

Tres Y Locos

If its musical you like, how's this? Tres Y Locos is written by Roel Raval and directed by Uro Dela Cruz. It stars Ogie Alcasid, Antonio Aquitania and the amazing Betong Sumaya are the Tres Y Locos, a famed boy band where their popularity gained their inspiration for their every performance from the famous Ilocano delicacy called "tupig." If you don't know what tupig is, it is a delicious delicacy from Ilocos and I bet they're delicious. Ruffa Mae Quinto also stars and oh...subtitles included because it's all Ilocano in this short flick, as well as their songs...

Kabiyak

Another dramatic short flick on that special and this one's called Kabiyak, written by Cesar Cosme and directed by Marlon Rivera. Maureen Larrazabal's the legal wife and Jackie Rice is the kabit, rivaling over the custody over the remains of a dead man they both loved. The funeral parlor manager (Michael V) decided to give each of them a piece of their man. The legal wife takes the upper half while the kabit gets the lower and more sinful half. Would that work?

Bakit Tinawag na Neneng Baket si Neneng B?

If you think watching the origin of Boy Pick Up in the big screen can be more interesting, wait 'till you see the origins of Neneng B in the small screen. Bakit Tinawag na Neneng Baket si Neneng B? is written by Mon Roco and directed by Dante Garcia. In here, we are able to see why Neneng B. kept on saying Baket? all the time. Your favorite Bubble Gang Pick Up Lines characters such as Ogie Alcasid as Boy Pick Up, Michael V. as McBits, Ruffa Mae Quinto as Ninang B, Eri Neeman as Boy Back Up, Antonio Aquitania as Dahon, Boy2 Quizon as Push Back, Moymoy Palaboy and Roadfill as Sukli and Bagoong, are here as well as Sam Pinto as Neneng B.

These five short flicks really are the stuff of what made this show great during its 17-year tenure and I have to say, this show rocks! So then, happy 17th year, Bubble Gang! Woo-hoo!
