Mang Kepweng Returns
Let’s say, what about a dose of a recycled comedy? Anyone? The remake of the 1979 comedy film is set to premiere on an ABS-CBN’s cable channel. This prompted people to ask how come it goes straight to cable when in fact they haven’t even heard of it premiering on the big screen. Simple, it’s either the film didn’t do well at the box office or the producers wanted to cover the losses that’s why they’re trying to milk the film by releasing it on a paid channel.
