AYON sa lead cast ng bagong romantic comedy ng TV5 Confessions Of A Torpe na si Bibeth Orteza, malayo raw ito sa uri ng low comedy na kadalasan ay mapapanood pa sa primetime viewing. Dapat lang naman dahil more than ever sa aming obserbasyon mas audience sensitive at friendly na ang MTRCB sa TV programming para sa buong bansa.
Ganun din ang sabi ng aming kaibigan at executive producer way back Regal Films days na si Joan Banaga who has long been in the business of production, emphasizing even that the Torpe romantic comedy project to premiere on Monday March 3, at 7:30 p.m. is in some way “alternative” & far from the diarrhea of heavy family dramas & sudsy soap operas or teleseryes gamely flooding the competitive networks. That’s how far the word “alternative” can go for on its own term TV5 is not that dahil ang kanilang programming ay riskier, out- of- the box, kakaiba sa mga dekahon at pormuladong mga palabas in terms of content and social message. So says dear friend Joan.
We say this ‘coz nabanggit kasi ng isa pang friend from way back our dear departed movie reporter and common friend Charlie Arceo na si Bibeth Orteza na ang humor ng “Confessions Of A Torpe ay malayo-layo sa slapsticks comedy as in walang batukan at toilet humor. Bagkus, content sensitive sila more so na ito ay comedy fit for all members of the family. Warm comedy ‘sya sabi pa ni Bibeth. I’m sure magugustuhan ito ng mga content-sensitive na mga taga-MTRCB.
Kinonfirm naman nina Papa Omar Sortijas at Direk Soxy Topacio ang dobleng challenge to veer away from slapsticks and yet in the same breathe able to tickle as in pander to the funny bone of the hard-to-please madlang kamasahan so-called. Well noted, kaya pala ang entitlement ni Madame Wilma Galvante ay may salitang “content”. That more than explains it.
Title-roler ang reliable Ogie Alcasid bilang Christoper “Tupe” Matakutin, isang 40-year old certified “torpe,” at virgin as in hindi pa nakatikim ng luto ng Dios at biktima ng isang sumpa dahil lahat ng lalaki sa kanilang pamilya ay single dahil sa katorpehan. Knowing how competent Ogie is as comic actor, it’s surefire thing he can pull through the ratings game sa suporta ni Alice Dixon bilang kanyang long-time crush na nagbalik-bayan din tulad ni Ogie.
Truly heartwarming ang iba pang casting nito kasama ang sobrang nakakaaliw na “Asia’s Queen of Songs” Pilita Corales, si Bibeth in a leading role this time at hindi na raw siya ‘yung usual best friend ng bida, si Gelli de Belen who is equally funny at doing comedy.
Idagdag mo pa ang dalawang natural comedians na sina Bayani Agbayani at Jojo Alejar kasama si Gerry Acao. For the girls nariyan pa rin ang oozing with sex appeal na si Wendell Ramos at ang batikang character actor na si Mike Lloren, ang kauna-unahang subject matter ng movie write-up ng kasalukuyang presidente ng PMPC on his second term na si Fernan De Guzman of “Wow Showbiz” radio program ng DWIZ if that can best amuse as guide to memory lane for our colleagues in the biz. Para sa kilig factor naman for the young viewers nariyan ang mga baguhang Shaira Mae, Mark Neumann at Albie Casino.
Saan pa tayo? For a change from iyakan to halakhakan naman this time.
