How Michael V. fosters collaborative spirit on 'Bubble Gang'

For 31 years, multi-awarded comedian Michael V., or Bitoy to his collegues, has been one of the driving forces behind 'Bubble Gang''s continued success. Bitoy's rich experience and innate talent on Pinoy comedy helped shape the culture of collaboration between the cast of the longest-running gag show in the Philippines. In an interview with GMANetwork.com, former 'Bubble Gang' star Gwen Zamora talked about how easy to work with the Kapuso comedy genius was to everyone. The Sparkle actress also noted that this environment really helped the actors to bring out the best at their job on 'Bubble Gang.' Gwen said, “You feel more like connected to the set, the scene because you have your own put and own say.” “What I liked about when we worked with Sir Bitoy, we really sit down, we go through the lines properly. And then he will ask you if you wanna change it or if you are okay with this. Or that when we will see if mistakes for example, cause the writers write so much! I'm sure they miss like some details, so, like this, we fine tune it all together. And it's nice it feels like a collaborative scene. So, when you get on set you know na what your role is.” In PHOTOS: Actresses and comedians who graduated from 'Bubble Gang' Watch for the trending 'Bubble Gang' moments on its special annniversary episodes called "Trendta'y Uno" on October 18 and 25.
