After three decades of laughter, satire, and unforgettable sketches, Bubble Gang — the longest-running gag show in Philippine television — marked its 30th anniversary with a grand, star-studded concert titled BG30: Batang Bubble Ako. The milestone event not only paid tribute to the show’s legacy but also reunited generations of comedians, cast members, and fans who grew up laughing with the Pambansang Comedy Show ng Pilipinas.

30 years of laughter and legacy

From its humble beginnings in 1995 to its reign as GMA Network’s comedy institution, Bubble Gang has become a cornerstone of Filipino pop culture. For three decades, the show introduced iconic characters, memorable catchphrases, and parodies that defined an era — from Boy Pick-Up to Yaya and Angelina, from Doña Ina to Mr. Assimo.

To celebrate, the BG30: Batang Bubble Ako Concert brought all these classics back to life in a two-part television special airing on 19 and 26 October on GMA. It was a nostalgic rollercoaster of skits, music and tributes, uniting old and new Ka-Bubbles in one explosive comedy celebration.

Leading the pack was Bubble Gang’s creative genius Michael V., joined by Paolo Contis, Chariz Solomon, EA Guzman, Analyn Barro, Betong Sumaya, Kokoy De Santos, Buboy Villar, Cheska Fausto and Matt Lozano — all bringing their comedic chemistry to the stage for a night of laughter, music and memories.

Icons return, legends reunite

The concert doubled as a heartfelt reunion for some of the show’s original and beloved cast members. Ogie Alcasid revived his fan-favorite role as Boy Pick-Up, joined by Sam Pinto as Neneng B and Analyn Barro as Ana B. Diana Zubiri made a powerful comeback as Super B, teaming up with EA Guzman’s Super Mamshie for a comedic musical number that delighted the audience.

Meanwhile, one of the most highly anticipated moments was the Battle of Maasims — a hilarious face-off between Michael V.’s Mr. Assimo and none other than the Unkabogable Star Vice Ganda, marking a crossover comedy moment for the ages.
