Palos, one of the biggest budgeted and most talked about projects
of ABS-CBN, will start showing in summer 2008. The Kapamilya network remakes the movie that made Bernard Bonnin an action
superstar in the ‘70s. The title Palos is the Tagalog word for “eel”—the snakelike fish that’s
quick, slick, and hard to capture. These qualities make for Jake’s character: swift, smooth, versatile. Palos
is based on the classic Filipino comics and film character of the same name, a professional thief who is adept in the fighting
arts and possesses acrobatic skills. He’s as slippery as an eel and as rarely caught.
The
TV series is based on the Palos movies that were released from the 1960s to the 1980s. The character was created by
Virgilio and Nestor Redondo and first introduced to the public in the Tagalog Klasiks comic-strip serial “Alyas
Palos.” Actor Bernard Bonnin played the character in all eight films, starting with Alyas Palos in 1961.
Jake’s new leading lady is Valerie “Bangs” Garcia. She is the cute and charming star in
Let’s Go but now she returns with a new image. Sexy and aggressive, she is one of the much-awaited faces for
the coming year. Don’t miss the hot revelations of Jake and Bangs in Palos, directed by Toto Natividad, Erik
Salud and Trina Dayrit..
Joining them are some of the biggest stars in the industry—Jomari
Yllana, Sunshine Cruz, Jodi Sta. Maria-Lacson, Roxanne Guinoo, Carla Humphries, Julia Barretto, Jay-R Siaboc, Gloria Romero,
Wendy Valdez, Vandolph, Dennis Padilla, Red Ford White, Ron Maloles, and Regine Angeles.
