Time is really going way over the speed limit these days. Goin’ Bulilit’s Sharlene San Pedro and Nash Aguas used to be the youngest in the group at the age of 6 when the show began airing back in 2005. 6 years later they are the oldest in the group. And that means it’s time to leave the show.
Just last Sunday, it’s graduation time for Sharlene and Nash along with Mika, Noemi and Aaliyah. It’s a tradition in the show that kids who reach the age of 12 will leave the show. You can’t be in Bulilit if you are no longer a bulilit (a little kid). Unless you are Dagul, of course, who is forever a bulilit. Dagul, along with Kobi, are the two remaining original cast members. Angel Sy was also a part of the 1st batch but she came a little bit later in the season.
Goin’ Bulilit is the funniest comedy program in local TV today (yes, in your face Bubble Gang). There was a time that this show was much maligned by the holier-than-thou folks from Anak TV and other “most honorable guards of society” but then the Catholic Mass Media Awards named Goin’ Bulilit the Best Comedy Show at one time, so they could be doing something right, right? A constant top-rater toppling many shows in their timeslot including the short-lived Bubble Gang Jr. Anyone remember that? So where do the kids go after graduating from the show? Some become regulars on MMK or play the sibling role on Star Cinema movies like Miles, Eliza, and Carl. Others go MIA (where art thou Yong An and Igi Boy?) Oh, while I’m at it, whatever happened to Basty?
And a few became the next big TV stars like Kathryn and Mara aka Julia. That is where Sharlene and company should aspire for.
