ABS-CBN opens up 2009 with a loud bang of laughter in PareKoy. This newest afternoon comedyserye reunites the hilarious trio of John Prats, Jayson Gainza, and Zanjoe Marudo first seen in the sitcom Aalog Alog. This time around, the three will mix their brand of comedy with a touch of teleserye storytelling. “‘Yung Aalog-Alog sitcom kasi ‘yun so pwede kang mag-adlib o pwede mong paglaruan ‘yung eksena. Dito sa PareKoy kasi kung ano ‘yung nasa script ‘yun ang dapat mong sundin kasi nandun ‘yung tema. Kapag iniba mo ‘yung istorya mawawala,” describes Jayson.

John says that those who saw Aalog Alog can expect something different from their trio this time around. “Mas seryosong gago kami ngayon. Sa Aalog Alog kasi para lang kaming naglalaro. Dito sa PareKoy seryoso kaming magpapatawa. Wala ‘yung makikita niyo kaming tumatawa every scene. Nakakatawa ‘yung mga eksena pero seryoso naming ginagawa. Ganun ‘yung approach namin sa show which is bago. Hindi na kami studio, lumalabas na kami kapag taping. More pressure din kasi since daily siya, araw araw kami dapat magpatawa. ”PareKoy is under the direction of Quark Henares and Randy Santiago, who also directed Aalog Alog.

Will the playboy and homophobic Mario be shocked to find out that is father is actually gay? Can Joseph handle being a good brother to his five sexy younger sisters? For how long will Jess put up with his domineering wife? What long-kept secret will test the brotherly bond of the three? Follow the crazy adventures of the PA-pabol waiter Mario (Zanjoe), the RE-sponsibol nurse Joseph (John), and the KOY-abol mailman Jess (Jayson) on PareKoy beginning this afternoon right after Wowowee.
