Talk about comedy in Philippine television and Bubble Gang is sure to one of the first shows that come to mind. GMA Network’s banner comedy program is the longest-running Philippine gag show. The KiliTV program is the source of countless memorable gags, spoofs, and hilarious sketches. On top of that, it has given birth to characters that have since become household names, like Brod Pete, Bebang and of course, Bitoy . This October, Bubble Gang celebrates a decade on the air. Yes, 10 years na natin kasama sina Michael V and Ogie! The anniversary is going to be fêted with a resounding bang, as it offers special episodes every Friday night this month. Your bubbly gang of Ogie Alcasid, Michael V., Rufa Mae Quinto, Ara Mina, Wendell Ramos and Antonio Aquitania, Maureen Larrazabal, Diana Zubiri, Francine Prieto, and Boy2 Quizon will go beyond their usual lineup of gags, commercial spoofs, and segments to bring a one-of-a-kind hilarious viewing experience, as a way of thanking its loyal viewers for their unfaltering support for a decade now.

The internationally-acclaimed gag show will kick off its anniversary month on October 7 with “The Bubble Gang Story” which tells of the show’s history and illustrates the factors that have contributed to its being a hit for the past ten years. The special episode, which is in semi-documentary format and hosted by Ogie and Michael V, will feature interviews with the people instrumental to Bubble Gang’s conceptualization and subsequent success. Share a laugh with the whole family, as the show goes on a trip down memory lane featuring memorable gags from its first years, trivia about the show and its stars, and behind-the-scene footages. The episode will also showcase interviews with some members of the academe, advertisers, and politicians, the show’s parodies of whom have illustrated that nothing is sacred to their funny bones. It will also illustrate how the show has become a “mirror” of Pinoys through the years, and how the members of the cast have bonded after being together for a decade now. Can’t remember what their very first commercial spoof is and want to catch another glimpse of the gag show’s many memorable characters? This is one episode no Bubble Gang aficionado would dare miss. More exciting episodes are in store for the viewers for this month-long 10th anniversary extravaganza, including fantastic musical specials and even a stint on top reality program Extra Challenge. Bubble Gang proudly looks back on ten successful and unrivaled years of bringing fun and laughter to the Filipino household, and this month, the show would like the Pinoy viewers to join in the celebration of a decade of unrivaled Pinoy humor at its finest. Sumama na sa tuwa at tawa! Bubble Gang airs every Friday night on GMA KiliTV and before Saksi .
