MANILA, Philippines - Tito, Vic and Joey made a mark in Philippine TV history with their long-running sitcom Iskul Bukol. Aired for 10 years, the one-hour-and-a-half comedy program chronicled the ups and downs of college life in the fictional Wanbol University, where storylines ran chiefly around the doings of campus hooligans in the persons of half-siblings Tito (Tito Sotto) and Joey Escalera (Joey de Leon) that make probinsiyano Victorio Ungasis (Vic Sotto) miserable.
The comedy triumvirate is back again, from the small screen to the big screen and now on video with Iskul Bukol 20 Years After (Ungasis and Escaleras Adventure). The movie is an official entry to the 2008 Metro Manila Film Festival and a certified box-office hit.
In Iskul Bukol 20 Years After, the Escalera brothers reunite with their old friend Vic Ungasis, who has now become a famous archaeologist. Together, they go on a wacky adventure in search of a magical silver coin that supposedly has the power to grant immortality to the bearer.
Distributed by Viva Video, Inc., Iskul Bukol 20 Years After is available on DVD for only P600 and VCD for only P299.
