Goin' Bulilit (transl. Goin' Little; abbreviated as GB) is a Philippine television sketch comedy show broadcast by ABS-CBN, Kapamilya Channel, and All TV. Originally directed by Edgar Mortiz, Badjie Mortiz and Frasco Mortiz, it aired on the network's Sunday evening line-up from February 6, 2005, to August 4, 2019, replacing Ang Tanging Ina and was succeeded by iWant Originals and Rated K. The show returned on July 1, 2024, to Kapamilya Channel's Kapamilya Gold and Yes Weekend! afternoon block, airing as a pre-programming to TV Patrol and TV Patrol Weekend.

History

[edit]

Goin' Bulilit premiered on February 6, 2005. The show was a spin-off of the 1980s comedy sitcom Goin' Bananas, which starred Christopher de Leon, Edgar Mortiz, Jay Ilagan, and Johnny Delgado.

The weekly show featured various segments, such as "Palarong Pambata" (children's games), "Use in a Sentence," and "Ano Daw" (one-liner jokes), as well as parodies of popular shows including Rated KKK (a parody of Rated K), The Buzz, and Lovers in Pares (a parody of Lovers in Paris).[1][2]

In 2015, Goin' Bulilit marked and celebrated its 10th anniversary with the participation of both former and current cast members.

On June 9, 2019, the show was preempted to make way for the airing of ABS-CBN's Binibining Pilipinas 2019: The Grand Coronation Night at 10 p.m.

The show aired the final episode of its first eight seasons on ABS-CBN on August 4, 2019.[3]

The show was re-aired on Kapamilya Channel, A2Z, and Jeepney TV from 2021 to 2024.

On May 21, 2024, ABS-CBN announced that Goin' Bulilit would be returning as a second iteration, nearly five years after the show's original run ended in 2019. Auditions for the new cast members were held on May 25, 2024.[4] It was also announced that It's Showtime Kids featuring Argus, Briseis, Enicka, Imogen, Kelsey, Kulot, and Jaze, would be joining the program.[5][6] The show returned as a daily program on Kapamilya Channel, with simulcasts on Kapamilya Online Live, A2Z, and All TV.[6]

Production and crew

[edit]

The show was created by Edgar Mortiz, who co-directed with his sons Frasco Mortiz and Badjie Mortiz.[2] Roderick Victoria served as the creative manager. The creative and writing team was led by head writer Sherwin Buenvenida and included writers Rolf Mahilom, Josel Garlitos, Toffie Runas, Yani Yuzon, and Badjie Mortiz.[1]
