For more than a decade, Jake Vargas and Angel Satsumi have been part of the successful Kapuso situational comedy series, ‘Pepito Manaloto.’ They play Chito and Clarissa, the children of fun and loving parents, Pepito and Elsa, portrayed by Michael V.
and Manilyn Reynes. Both GMA artists have been given the platform to work with veteran actors and learn about comedy from them. They have also found their second family in their co-stars, who offer them pieces of advice and are supportive of their career. MANILA, Philippines — Jake Vargas and Angel Satsumi have been playing siblings Chito and Clarissa in the situational comedy series, “Pepito Manaloto,” for more than a decade now. Jake was in his late teens, while Angel was four when the opportunity of becoming part of the iconic show presented itself to them. It’s safe to say that they’re loving every bit of being the son and daughter of Pepito Manaloto , who now enjoys a very comfortable life as compared to his down-on-one’s luck situation before. Manilyn Reynes is Pepito’s wife named Elsa. If my memory serves me right, Jake’s Chito and Angel’s Clarissa entered the “Pepito Manaloto” picture five years after Pepito’s winning in the lottery. At this point, the family was managing a book store. “Ang dami na pong nangyari sa character ko na si Chito ,” said Jake during the recent press conference for GMA Entertainment Group’s “Basta’t Sama-Sama… Best Time Ever” campaign launch. Also joining him in the event were Angel, Chariz Solomon, and Arthur Solinap, who all represented “Pepito Manaloto.”“I think a lot can relate to him, given his age and being the oldest child of Pepito, ang daming pagsubok na kung ano ang dapat gawin ni Chito sa buhay niya, ano ba ang dapat maging trabaho niya kasi ang tatay niya ay very successful ,” added he. “Chito also has a love life, and he’s managing his personal and work lives well.” Regarding the latest developments in Clarissa’s life, Angel shared, “For me, my character has Jacob in her life, but a lot of things will be tackled.” One of them is Jacob’s health condition which presents life struggles that teenagers may be facing these days. They will go through them with, as Angel said, “the help of tatay at nanay , paano kami a-advisan at tutulungan .” As artists, Jake and Angel have the privilege to be part of a resilient and successful entertainment program. “When I started in ‘Pepito ,’ naiisip ko po na parang bagong adventure , hindi ko po i-ni-expect na magkakaroon ako ng second family sa show na ito ,” said Angel, who was referring to her Tito Bitoy, Tita Manilyn, and the rest of the cast and crew. Since the sense of family on the set of “Pepito Manaloto” is strong, stars could talk about some aspects of their personal lives and gain insights from each other’s experiences. Jake’s Kuya Bitoy-Michael V. is ready to offer the Sparkle GMA artist pieces of advice.Aside from Jake and Angel, Arthur and Chariz are two of the other “Pepito Manaloto” regular artists that bring joy to the viewers through their funny, inspired portrayals of Robert and Janice, respectively. “Of course, we first have the script read with the guidance of Kuya Bitoy,” Arthur gave everyone a sneak peek at their work process. “Everybody gives their input. We are given the freedom to approach our own characters.”“Sineseryoso namin kahit na comedy kami, sineseryoso namin ang trabaho namin ,” shared Arthur. So, they work and find enjoyment in it. The stars would also bring food and share it with everyone. Arthur and Chariz could attest to the fun atmosphere on the “Pepito Manaloto” set. From having such titles as “Pepito Manaloto: Ang Tunay na Kuwento” and “Pepito Manaloto: Ang Unang Kuwento” to “Pepito Manaloto: Tuloy Ang Kuwento,” the sitcom will continue to bring fun and inspiration to Kapuso viewers with, as the information from the show’s website puts it, “the merry mix of characters” of Pepito, Elsa, Chito, Clarissa and their house helpers and neighbors.Flex your summer! 4 must-do activities to make this sunny season your best yet For only P399: Elevate your skincare routine with your favorite serum brands at Watsons' Online Sale on April 26 For only P399: Elevate your skincare routine with your favorite serum brands at Watsons' Online Sale on April 26EA, Cheska and Matt recall learning the ropes of ‘Bubble Gang’ comedy Korean singer Kim Won Shik launched his latest single,"To Be With You," featured as part of the soundtrack for the Philippine...The Quezon City government has apologized to those affected by a road clearing operation conducted by local government personnel in the University of the Philippines campus in Diliman on Tuesday.The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority yesterday cited erratic weather conditions in Metro Manila in explaining the government’s plan to remove the “underutilized” bicycle lane along EDSA.Mobility advocates scored the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority after proposing the removal of bicycle lanes on EDSA — a move seen by the group as counter to the president's directive on sustainable modes of transportation.Philstar.com is one of the most vibrant, opinionated, discerning communities of readers on cyberspace.
