Wish Ko Lang parody (in English!)



This comedy video is based on the popular Filipino TV show "Wish Ko Lang" (translated means 'Just My Wish') which airs on GMA Pinoy TV Channel 7.  It is a wish granting show that grants wish for the poor and unfortunate.

The make believe characters of this video are the single father Jhun Tolentino and his two kids, Noel and Jolynn.  They are poor and live in an abandoned shelter.  Jhun cannot find work and has not had a job in years.  Their wish is to have a store to sell items on the street and also for the kids to have new school clothes.

The music at about :38 seconds in is by Disko Dave:

This video was a lot of fun to shoot.  Me, my nephew Sebastian, and niece Jailyn did a lot of improvising on this one.  A lot of the funniest scenes were actually not scripted.  We made it up as we went along!  
Also, notice in the tinikling scene where Jhun says they only have one broom -- but you can clearly see another broom behind Noel while they do the tinikling!

I'm not that great at doing a Filipino accent, but I hope it was good enough!
