Prepare yourself for an entertaining Saturday as Vic Sotto stars in a new sitcom alongside Maja Salvador, forming a dynamic duo that promises laughter and entertainment. 

Working together in a TV series for the first time, Vic and Maja had nothing but praise for each other in their respective fields. Maja is renowned for her versatility as an actress, while Bossing has made his mark in the comedy and hosting industry over several decades.

“Bossing doesn’t believe in ‘filters.’ What you see in him, whether it’s through Zoom or in person, that’s exactly how he is. And you can feel that you’re welcome. He really wants you to be part of Bulaga, he wants you to be part of the sitcom. And he makes you feel that he trusts you, so no matter what you do… it’s okay with him, that’s why it’s easygoing,” explained Maja.

The actress, who happens to be a close friend of Bossing’s wife, Pauleen Luna, was given the opportunity to work in Open 24/7 when she became part of the longest-running noontime show, Eat Bulaga!.

“As for Maja, we were together in Bulaga for almost two years. She’s not a stranger to me anymore. When we were doing the casting, I immediately felt at ease because I know, we all know, that she’s a very versatile actress. Not only is she great at acting, but she can also sing, dance, and almost do everything,” stated the veteran host.

Bossing Vic and Maja will portray the roles of Boss EZ and Mikaela in Open 24/7, respectively.

Responsible for managing a convenience store. Mikaela’s character, on the other hand, is introduced as someone who enters the lives of the store owners and becomes a humorous and lively crew member alongside Boss EZ.

Meanwhile, collaborating with Bossing is not a new experience for fellow Dabarkads host Jose Manalo. He has often played the role of the seasoned comedian’s sidekick in his films and has even been his partner in Bulagaan Olympics. The only distinction now is that Jose will portray Boss EZ’s brother, Spark.

“Of course, with Bossing, we have been working together for a long time, so we have a mutual understanding,” said Jose.

Meanwhile, Sparkle loveteam Sofia Pablo and Allen Ansay shared their first encounter with Bossing, Jose, and Maja.

“During lunch, we were all sitting at the table, including Bossing and Kuya Jose. We were just there, unsure if we should even speak because you know that feeling when you used to watch them on screen, and now you’re with them. Then when Miss Maja entered, I didn’t even know how to say hi,” Allen shared with the press.

“It feels amazing because looking at them… it’s so fulfilling. In the past, we only dreamed of having projects. But we never imagined that we would get to work with them. I just remembered watching them before. And I’m so happy because now we eat together on set, and we act in front of each other,” expressed Sofia.

Completing the cast are Riel Lomadilla, Anjay Anson, Kimson Tan, Abed Green, and Bruce Roeland from Sparkle.

Open 24/7 premieres on May 27, 9:15 p.m., right after Magpakailanman.
