Discipline and Dedication.

Hindi matatawarang ang effort na ibinibigay ng high rating Saturday comedy program na Pepito Manaloto para mapaganda ang show nila every week.

Mula sa creative inputs ng production team at talented cast led by veteran comedian Michael V and singer/actress Manilyn Reynes, sinisugurado nila na dekalidad na programa ang mapapanood ng mga Kapuso natin.

At marahil isa sa sikreto ng show, kung bakit number one pa rin ang Pepito Manaloto for the past four years ay ginawa nilang habit ang script reading before nila kunan ang mga eksena.

Ayon kay Ronnie Henares, who plays Tommy, malaking bagay ang naitutulong ng pagbabasa ng script before the actual taping para malaman ng bawat artista ang kabuuang kuwento ng isang episode.

Aniya, “Script reading helps, because all of us are familiar with the entire show, cause normally kasi especially when you do drama or something like that, the scripts are so long. They are for the whole week [and] you tend to not read the whole thing. You just read your part and then you ask what happened before and what happens after 'di ba?"

Dagdag pa niya, “In this particular case, we all know how the script goes. So you also know how to attack your particular scene 'di ba? Because your scene, might be affected by a scene previously [shot].”

Bukod pa diyan, nakakapag-adjust ng maiigi ang lahat at kung sakaling may mali o kulang sa eksena na shinoot, madali daw itong naitatama nila Michael V. or Derek Bert de Leon.

“You see the whole picture, you see how everybody relates to each other. Why this happens and it gives Bitoy a chance to correct or advice you as to what his idea is and of course the director as well.”

Nag-iimprove din daw ang mga eksena with the help of script reading. Example ni Ronnie ay pagbigkas ng cast ng isang partikular na line na parte ng isang running joke.

Saad niya, “For example, there’s a line na parating inuulit, kunwari, 'hindi ko alam sa inyo, pero 'yun ang sinabi ng mga ninuno natin na kung hindi [natin] gagawin iyan mamalasin kayo'. That exact line sasabihin ni Bitoy, kailangan every time you say that, [kailangan] exactly the same because that’s part of the running joke. 'Yung mga ganun ba.”
