After weeks of bad luck, it seems things can get no worse for Juan and his Nanay Siony. But they do!
While their next door neighbors - the Guiguintos – are booking rooms at a five star hotel in time for the Papal visit, the D. Magbangons are unceremoniously booted out of their house by the local Sheriff.
In a series of unexpected twists and turns, Juan and his Nanay Siony end up on the streets of Metro Manila, living under a piece of tarp, inside a jeepney then atop a kariton, even getting picked up by the DSWD along the way.
Juan experiences this all as a grand adventure, amazed at the kindness of the poverty-stricken strangers they encounter.
But when his lifelong crush Marie (played by Max Collins) finally tells him she would never consider a man with no ambition, he falls into despair.
Juan can manage without a home but not without love. Walking aimlessly, he lands in the midst of a Luneta crowd and unexpectedly comes face to face with the Pope himself. Much to everyone’s surprise, Juan is given a blessing that marks the start of happier days to come.
Juan Tamad has been dominating the ratings for its time slot since its launch. The comedy show mixes romance, humor, current events and politics, romance for a very special family viewing experience. This episode is penned by Liza Magtoto, who wrote the hit musical Rak of Aegis. Juan Tamad airs this Sunday at 4:45 PM only on GMA7.
