Netizens clamor for second season of Puregold Channel’s GVBoys

Tweet

PUREGOLD Channel officially breaks new ground with its newest online series GVBoys as it is now a certified smash hit as it officially breaches the 3M mark in consolidated viewership on Facebook and YouTube where it is streaming brand episodes for free every Saturday evenings since it piloted last July 10.

Puregold Channel is conceptualized by Puregold Price Club Inc. to provide the public a free source of entertainment that they could all enjoy in the privacy and safety of their homes.

Directed by veteran film and top-rating TV director Don Cuaresma with a script written by Sherwin Buenvenida and Joaquin Acosta, GVBoys is the wackiest, laugh-a-minute digital comedy series today that stars Jerome Ponce, Dave Bornea, and Nikko Natividad with Wilma Doesnt, Elsa Droga, and Ms. Carmi Martin.

GVBoys revolves around the adventures and misadventures of Jawo (Ponce), Zeus (Bornea), and Dax (Natividad) in the hopes of raising money to redeem their boarding house owned by Aling Pearly (Martin) from a debt incurred from her old frenemie Loisa (Doesn’t).

Since its successful pilot, the GVBoys has been going through the zaniest and wackiest exploits in raising the money to save their boarding house from being repossessed – Jawo tries his luck in acting while dealing with his narcolepsy; Zeus seasons the series with the ambiguity of his true gender; Dax falls in and out of love; Kathyn B (Elsa Droga) provides the group with additional comedic flavor; and Aling Pearly and Loisa continue to bicker like cats and dogs.

The on-going run of GVBoys upped the subscribers of Puregold Channel on YouTube while the hilarious scenes of the series are now favorite trending materials amongst TikTokers with netizens clamoring in unison for a second season mid-way through the hit comedy series.

“We feel so honored that netizens are really having a blast laughing with the GVBoys,” says Dave Bornea. “The series has not yet reached its conclusion and yet we have been receiving a lot of positive comments and requests for a second season. Right now, we do not know if Puregold Channel will greenlight a second season but I am really hoping that Puregold management does because this is really one of the most fun series that I ever did.”

On the series’ 6th episode streaming this August 14, Jawo’s weeksary date with Loisa turns sour; Dax leads the GVBoys in putting up sexy car wash business; Zeus reminds the group a valuable lesson on honesty; Aling Pearly and Kathryn B ventures into a sideline; and Loisa gets a chilling phone.

“We have three more episodes left and it only becomes crazier,” says Wilma Doesnt. “We are all stressed enough as it is and we should all reward ourselves with a major dose of good vibes.”

GVBoys streams Saturday evenings (7:00 p.m.) for free on Puregold Channel’s YouTube and Facebook platforms.

The 9.9 Big Brands Sale event will bring together the region’s most renowned brands as well as favorite Lazada marketplace merchants, and delight Southeast Asian consumers with exclusive deals and offers via an exclusive curation of time-limited Brand Mega Offers and Flash Sale promotions on September 9 to 11.

Syncing up with the festivities, Lazada’s mascot Lazzie will also make his idol trainee debut via Lazada’s newest addition on LazGames – Lazzie Star. Shoppers can help Lazzie to “level up” to become a Super Star, by completing a series of daily tasks and special missions that will unlock exclusive platform and seller vouchers as well as Lazada Bonus rewards.
