"Pepito Manaloto" Hits the Jackpot Debuting no.1 in Mega Manila

"Pepito Manaloto", GMA-7's first ever Reality Sitcom starring Michael V. literally hit the jackpot when it debuted no. 1 in Mega Manila Household Ratings last Sunday March 28, 2010. "Pepito Manaloto" got a rating of 28.2% to steal the top spot from ABS-CBN's "Pilipinas Got Talent" which got a 25.5% rating. This is base on the overnight household survey of AGB Nielsen from March 26-29, 2010. "Pepito Manaloto" is the story of this guy Pepito who wants to get rich and his way to achieve his dream is via "lotto". "Pepito Manaloto" is a brainchild of Michael V. and also starring in this wacky sitcom are Manilyn Reynes and Carmina Villaroel. Actually this newest sitcom from GMA-7 is very timely and it reflects the reality of our country. A lot of people wants to get rich in an instant, and their way to do it is to fall in line in the lottery outlets and bet for 6 numbers that they though would make them rich. Now I understand what a "Reality Sitcom" means.
