Aalog-Alog, Bagong Mukha ng Pinoy Sitcom

I came back from my Manila trip and when I turned on my television set, timing at ang pinapalabas ay ang initial telecast ng Aalog-Alog. Kakaiba ang treatment ng show directed by Mr. Randy Santiago. There is something with Aalog-Alog na kakaiba, which is good, kasi lahat nalang yata ng mga sitcoms sa Pilipinas pare-pareho na ang nangyayari. In other words, originality is lost dahil sa gayahan ng concepts.

The show started with the three ex-PBB borders na sina John Prats, Zanjoe Marudo at Jason Gainza leaving for Japan para doon na makapagtrabaho. Iniwan naman nila si Keanna sa Pilipinas. And by the way, kaya pala Aalog-Alog ang titile ng sitcom ay hango ito sa bahay na tinitirhan ni Keanna. Three storey ang bahay at tila umaalog-alog ang bahay every now and then.

The other casts were also introduced kasama na sina Gerald (na pamangkin ni Keanna), Pokwang (bilang Dona Etang, na dati'y kaibigan ni Keanna pero ngayon ay mortal na kaaway) at si Kim (ang anak ni Dona Etang na kinakikiligan ni Gerald). The fun begins when Pokwang became Keanna's neighbor, and the two developed into a Tom and Jerry like love-hate relationship. Isang pangyayari na hangong-hango talaga sa Tom and Jerry cartoon series ay ang dapat sana'y pagpapasabog ni Pokwang sa Aalog-Alog na bahay ni Keanna. Tinapon na nga ni Pokwang ang granada sa roof sa bahay nila Keanna, pero dahil umaalog-alog ang bahay, ang granada'y gumiling from Keanna's roof to Pokwang's house. Doon kinuha ni Pokwang ang granada, at sumabog na ito sa harap niya (without any harm, her hair and face became charred).

Habang nasa Japan ang mis-trio (John, Jason at Zanjoe), doon nila nakilala si Yachang bilang Japanese enforcer who's always looking for Filipino TNTs (tago ng tago dahil overstaying na). Doon nagtagpo ang landas ni Yachang at ang mis-trio kasi nga ang huli ay overstaying na sa Japan. Nagtatrabaho nalang sila ng anu-ano para makapag-ipon ng pamasahe pauwi sa Pilipinas.
