Juan Tamad goes bankrupt

MANILA, Philippines - Tomorrow, the bill collectors are after Juan Tamad (played by Sef Cadayona) and his Nanay Siony (Marissa Sanchez) who are deep in debt after becoming victims of a networking scam.

They don’t just owe the electricity, water and Internet companies but also the neighborhood vegetable, taho and balut vendors, the Indian moneylender and Tatang Albularyo (Betong Sumaya) who are banging down their doors.

Juan takes all this in stride. Despite the roof leaking over their heads, he still manages to make his mother laugh.

True crisis begins when Juan realizes the love of his life Marie (Max Collins) is falling in love with her boss, the impossibly buff, successful and good-looking Senator Iggy Imperial (Carlos Agassi).

Can Juan — short, lazy and now very poor — still manage to win Marie’s heart? Find out.

Juan Tamad airs Sundays at 4:45 on GMA 7.
