Gay comic icon and Youtube sensation Bekimon (Bern Josep Persia in real life) landed a major, major role in the new comedy soap Juanita Banana in ABS-CBN Channel 2.
Juanita Banana is a remake of the 1960s movie starring Rosemarie Sonora (in title role), Ricky Belmonte (as the magic dwarf Prince Rikitik), Pepito Rodriguez (as Gordo), and Bella Flores (as the evil stepmother of Juanita Banana). This rare Filipino magical musical is based on the folk belief that catching a teardrop from the banana tree will give a person magic powers.
Bekimon is extremely excited to start taping the episodes of Juanita Banana in an undisclosed location somewhere down south where bananas as abundant. He just had an acting workshop and script reading last Saturday with comedienne Beverly Salviejo-Lauzon. The soap opera's teasers have already began airing in the network yesterday.
Does this mean Bekimon is now a certified Kapamilya star?
Huwaw! Congrats Mangyang Bekimon! Hahahaha!
ReplyDeleteDi ko kinaya. Juanita Banana. Napapanood ko lang ito noong bata pa ako kung saan naka-pigtails palagi si Rosemarie Sonora. Pigtails na hindi apektado ng gravity.
