‘Parekoy’ bids farewell By: ---   From: Manila Bulletin [April 15, 2009] ABS-CBN’s first komediserye “Parekoy” has successfully introduced the newest TV barkada with the triumvirate of John Prats, Jayson Gainza, and Zanjoe Marudo, but with the forthcoming finale of “Parekoy” this Friday, April 17, will the wacky trio lead lives together? What fate awaits this bunch of funny men? “Parekoy” was the first program to be aired by ABS-CBN this year and has consistently garnered favorable ratings. It almost instantly caught public’s attention with its groundbreaking concept of fusing elements of a teleserye with that of a sitcom, undeniable sense of humor, and apparent rapport of its lead stars. The strong support of respected actors and actresses like Angelu de Leon, Bobby Andrews, Giselle Sanchez, Irma Adlawan, Roy Alvarez, Tetchie Agbayani, Ma. Isabel Lopez, Raymund Concepcion and Dennis Padilla, the innate charm of sexy babes Jacq Yu, Samantha Flores, Jem Sevilla, and Lovelle Bautista also contributed to the show’s success. With the vision and inspired direction of Randy Santiago and Frasco Mortiz, “Parekoy” provided a breath of fresh air to the afternoon viewing public. “We are very proud of the show’s achievements,” says Executive Producer Jessa Mae Samson. “We are thankful that viewers appreciate the hard work we have put into this show.” More revelations, exciting twists will be bared in the final week of “Parekoy,” which airs everyday after “Wowowee” only on ABS-CBN.
