Team KOMIKERO at Family Feud PH

Recently, my fellow Komiks friends and I had the thrilling opportunity to participate in the Philippine version of Family Feud, hosted by none other than DingDong Dantes. We taped the episode on November 22, 2023, and the much-anticipated air date is today, December 1st, 2023.

For our team, we were instructed to wear green, while the opposing team sported red, perhaps to kick off the festive Christmas season.

Our Komikero Team comprised Toto Madayag of Libreng Komiks, Macoy of "Ang Mascot," "Aswang High," and several others, yours truly, and the great Pol Medina, Jr. of Pugad Baboy.

You might be curious about how we secured a spot on Family Feud. Thanks to Komiket's Paolo Herras reached out and that he need Komiks creators to form a Komikero Team for the show. Naturally, I leaped at the opportunity. Family Feud is undeniably one of the hottest shows on Philippine TV, and I couldn't pass up the chance. Besides, my family, especially my father, is an avid viewer of the show, so the excitement was doubled when they learned I'd be one of the contestants!

Now, let me recount the details of our day on November 22, the day we filmed the episode. The call time was 2 pm, and though we entered the GMA studio, we found ourselves waiting until around 4 pm for makeup, briefing, and a practice session. While the studio was impressive, and the staff were accommodating, we did not anticipated the long wait time. We finally wrapped up around 7 or 8 pm.

On the opposing side was Team Four the Love, featuring the finalists of Drag Race Philippines. They emerged as the winning team, but it was a close fight! You can catch the show HERE.

All in all, it was an unforgettable experience. My friends and family rallied in full support and had a blast watching the episode.
