As one of the veteran members of Bubble Gang, Wendell Ramoshad a lot to share about more than a decade’s worth of doing comedy.
Ako, nakuha ko dito? Naging more confident (ako) sa sarili (ko), and ngayon, kahit na ano ipagawa sa amin, (okay lang). Sobrang nag-adjust kami dito! Alam mo yung humaharang pa sa isip mo, alam mo yung naco-confuse ka, baka sabihin ng tao OA ka, or OA yung mga ginagawa mo, hindi na tama. Dapat pala tanggalin mo sa isip mo yun. Do your thing, bahala na, and ang nagiging outcome niya, mas-maganda! Doon naman kami natutuwa, dahil sina
Ogie at sina
Michael V., patanong-tanong kami, yung mga ideas, pwede ba namin gawin ito, doon ko nadevelop yung sa comedy side,” he shares.
Wendell’s roles in Bubble Gang provide a stark contrast to his serious and masculine appeal in movies. In fact, Wendell surprisingly carries drag queen glam quite well! “Every time na gagawa kami ng mga gay roles, yung ganoon, tapos nago-okrayan kami, which is yung ibang artists, parang kinakailangan nila. Dito sobrang ine-enjoy namin, kahit off-cam, talagang naglalandian kami, nagtatarayan kami! Oo, totoo! Dito, all out kami! And then yung mga kasama ko, ganoon din sila. Nag-e-enjoy kami. Ito ang tanong, kung medyo talagang may feminine side ka, pwede mong ilabas (dito)! Kung mayroon kang naitatagong hidden agenda, ilabas mo na dito, mag-eenjoy (ka)! Mapipigilan mo na sa labas! Hindi na mahirap! At least nae-express mo dito!”
He talks about how Bubble Gang was like before, especially with MTV (Music Tagalog Version), an audience favorite which they still continue to do even after a decade. “Kaputukan ng rock noon e! So nandiyan yung mga E-Heads, yung Rivermaya noon, buo pa sila, Parokya, so yung MTV yung pinakagusto kong part.”
He adds, “And dumating nung time na yun yung Dating Doon, yung sila Brod Pete. Iyon naman yung isang segment na gustong-gusto ko talaga. And then ngayon, yung mga commercial spoof.”
What the viewers see onscreen isn’t just a product of the writers and the staff, but it’s actually a collaborative effort of the cast members as well. “I think ang hindi nila alam dito, sobrang for us, itong
Bubble Gang, talagang binubuo talaga namin, pinaghihirapan talaga ito ng lahat, and respetuhan ng concept, and hindi lang sila Michael V., sina Ogie. Ang nakakatuwa dito, binibigyan din nila kami ng chance to suggest something like for example, yung ‘Sexballs’ na ginawa dati, idea ni Antonio yun e. Then dinevelop na lang. So kumbaga tulong-tulong kami dito.”
Wendell adds, “Kung mapapansin niyo, hindi lang yung sarili namin, kumukuha din kami ng ideas doon sa kung ano yung nangyayari sa mga scenarios sa labas. Situations ng bayan natin.”
Now on his 11th year in the show, Wendell says that every episode never fails to be memorable, especially since he’s with people he loves to be with. “Chine-cherish ko every episode na ginagawa namin, kasi every episode na nangyayari, natututo ako. Dito ko nalalabas lahat, so yun yung pinaka-memorable sa akin. And siguro yung sobrang lahat ng tao, pag labas namin, ‘Uy, yung MEV niyo, yung Michael V, yung Dating Doon!’ Yung era days noon, yung sobrang ‘uy, iba talaga Bubble Gang!’”
