From the famous gag show Bubble Gang to game show Hole in the Wall, the hilarious tandem of “Yaya and Angelina” is now set to hit the big screen. “Ayon sa lingo ng mga kabataan ngayon, sobrang nakakatawa ito! Bongggang-bongga at ibang level ng katatawanan,” said comedian Michael V, who plays the role of the nanny of Angelina (played by Ogie Alcasid) in the movie of Ang Spoiled Brat.

In an interview during the press visit at the shooting of Ang Spoiled Brat last Tuesday (August 25), Michael V said that they made sure that people who will come to watch the movie will see something new about Yaya and Angelina, who are seen ev­ery Friday in Bubble Gang and every day in Hole In The Wall. “We made several adjust­ments para hindi magkaroon ng sawa factor,” he said. “Number one, we made sure na hindi ma­giging game show ang pelikula. ‘Tapos ‘yong ginagawa namin sa Bubble Gang, hindi na siya every week, every other week na para ma-miss ng konti ng mga tao.”

Aside from being an actor, Mi­chael V also helped in writing the script of the movie. He said this makes it easier for the group to create funny lines for the story. He related, “Hindi naman kasi ako lang mag-isa ang gumaga­wa, we’re a pool of writers, we get several ideas. Mahirap kasi na isa lang, medyo one track lang kaya mahirap, e. Hindi mo alam kung ano ang magwo-work sa iba.
“I’m actually surprised noong ikinukwento ni Direk Mike [Tu­viera] ‘yong mga parts doon sa movie na pinagtatawanan ng ibang tao, e, iba-iba pala talaga ang theme ng comedy sa iba’t ibang audience. So, until ma-de­termine mo kung sino talaga ang gusto mong ma-hit na target, that’s the time na gagawa ka ng akmang project para sa ‘yo,” he explained.
Since tandem of Yaya and Angelina is already a hit to the “masa,” Michael V. would like to aim for the “movie-paying public” in their movie. The Eat Bulaga! host explained, “Nan­doon na kami na kai­langan ma-appreciate ng masa at hindi mo iwanan ‘yong ano mo. Hindi puwedeng mag­appeal ka lang doon sa mga naghihintay ng pirata. Kasi hindi naman magbabayad ‘yon para manood ng sine. Hindi naman sa minamaliit mo sila, pero you have to make something na magugustuhan din ng mga nanonood ng Dark Knight, nanonood ng mga pelikula ni Adam Sandler. Dapat ang target mo ‘yon na, kasi kapag malakas ‘yon, madadamay na rin yung iba.”

A BIG FAN OF DOLPHY.
Despite saying that he does not aim to replace the country’s top comedians, Michael V does not deny the fact that he is a big fan of Dolphy.
“Ako nga, sana gusto ko mag­karoon ng project with Dolphy,” he related when the subject was shifted to doing the remake of the Lino Brocka classic Ang Ta­tay Kong Nanay (1978), which starred Dolphy and former child star Niño Muhlach. He recalled that this was once offered to him by director Mark Meily, but declined to do it be­cause of his respect to the King of Comedy.
