Pepito Manaloto

Pepito Manaloto is a live situational comedy created by KB Entertainment Unlimited, Inc. and Michael V. for GMA Network. The series premiered on March 28, 2010. The show premiered on April 4, 2010, one week after its original premiere, on GMA Pinoy TV.

===Background ===

The show stars Manilyn Reynes, Carmina Villaroel and Michael V. in the title role whose "simple and underprivileged life significantly changes when he becomes the lone winner of P700 million in the national lottery". It has been dubbed as a reality-sitcom. Though it is almost impossible to get P700M on a single lotto ticket, it actually happened on Nov. 29, 2010--a winner took home P741.1 M, which is more than Pepito's P700M.

The first season was released on March 28, 2010 and focused on showcasing the adventures of the Pepito Manaloto and his family who are all still quite unaccustomed to the life of luxury and excess that they now have to enjoy.

On November 21, GMA Network announced that the show has been renewed for the second season.
