New line up on BuKo Channel
BUKO Channel, the first-ever 24-hour local comedy channel in the country, BuKo (short for Buhay Komedya), scored big among families with its refreshing blend of hilarious comedies and lifestyle shows since its launch last August. Following the huge success of BuKo Originals’ #MaineGoals, a lifestyle-oriented vlog show starring Maine Mendoza, and ‘Kusina ni Mamang,’
Pokwang’s cooking show that explores traditional Filipino home cooking, the channel offers a new lineup of programs set to air this November.
Headlining not just comedy classics and hit sitcoms in the coming months, BuKo has more in store for #MaineGoals, so fans should stay tuned for updates on this always-trending show. Among BuKo Channel’s Throwback Tawanan weekday shows are Moomoo and Me, Daisy Siete, and Daddy Di Do Du; while Sundays are for the horror comedy show #ParangNormal Activity.
Moomoo and Me follows the story of curious 11-year old Junjun Magpantay, who meets Oscar, or “Moomoo,” a pleasant ghost that wanders from house to house looking for the right family to join. Airing at 2PM, this stars John Pratts, BJ Forbes, William Martinez, and Yayo Aguila.
