MANILA, Philippines — Tomorrow is Friday, Eid al-Fitr, and also “Bubble Gang” night.
“Bubble Gang” is now reportedly the country’s longest-running gag show, thanks partly to the efforts of the show’s main star, Beethoven del Valle Bunagan, best known as “Bitoy” or Michael V.
At the recent ComicCon Asia 2018 where Michael V. was a special guest, the actor, rapper, novelty hit maker and family man shared what keeps him inspired through the years.
“Dapat talaga local ‘yung flavor, so dapat talaga in-touch ka with the society,” he told the event’s host, RJ Ledesma, on what inspires him to come up with new jokes.
According to Michael, he makes sure that he, the cast, and the show’s writers experience everyday Filipino life, including commuting, so that they are always updated at what people are talking about.
Michael has four children with wife Carol. — Video by Erwin Cagadas
