Do you miss being told stories that only our Filipino barbers can tell? If that’s the case, then TV5 Originals’ new online series Kwentong Barbero is now ready to entertain you and everyone else.
Airing online for some time now, Kwentong Barbero is an original from TV5 directed by Kevin Santos. The show features an everyman’s opinion of everyday topics.
Here are seven things to love about this new online show:
1. The ‘barbero-with-a-mouth’
Starring Eric Joy Galang as Ponso, our “barbero-with-a-mouth” represents wise-cracking barbers from all over the town. And what a mouth he has on him. Listen to him talk throughout the entirety of the show.
2. The barrage of puns and wit
Ponso has a big mouth, but what he says makes sense. When he talks, he don’t just blabber gibberish. He’s actually a wise-cracking man who can be just like your ordinary ‘barbero’.
3. ‘Hugot’ insights from social issues
Aside from his humorous speech, Ponso not only tackles current social issues, but also from the past with matching ‘hugot’.
4. That inside-the-‘barberya’ feel
Not only does the show offer a barrage of puns and witticisms from an everyman who represents all the barbers, it does so in the setting of a usual barber shop.
5. It’s a webisode
Kwentong Barbero is a first in the Philippines along with all the webisodes that TV5 have produced. Kwentong Barbero’s episodes can actually be accessed online anywhere, anytime. It just requires an internet connection.
6. Escape-worthy running time of 3-minutes or less
Regular shows or sitcoms on television sometimes get prolonged with commercials. This web series does away with that with a running time of only about three-minutes or less.
7. The relatable everyday talk
Here’s a little truth from Kwentong Barbero: Everyone can relate to the conventional topics in each of the episodes from the barber shop of Ponso. From Pinoy culture to Philippine politics to even pop culture, Ponso always has something to share.
