"Bubble Gang," the longest-running comedy/gag show on Philippine TV will air a blockbuster episode tonight in celebration of its 17th anniversary -- “Dis Is Siete.”
Five short comedy films, directed by five renowned filmmakers will be shown back-to-back tonight.
"Sampal," written by Chito Francisco and directed by Soxie Topacio stars Diego Llorico as Janessa, the lead, with Antonio Aquitania, Maureene Larrazabal, Moymoy, Jackie Rice, Ellen Adarna and special guests Odette Khan, Roldan Aquino and Victor Aliwalas. "Sampal" tells the story of Janessa, who since childhood had been receiving harsh treatment from his family in the form of slaps (sampal). One day, she meets a rich man (Victor Aliwalas) who then falls in love with her and makes her his wife. Unfortunately, death will keep the newly-wed couple apart too soon when the husband dies. But his demise was actually a blessing in disguise for Janessa as she is left with so much wealth. Now that she's rich and powerful, she could easily get back at her cruel family. But instead of taking revenge, she does something unexpected which turns out to be hilarious.
