History[edit]

Goin' Bulilit premiered on February 6, 2005. The show was a spin-off of the 1980s comedy sitcom Goin' Bananas starring Christopher de Leon, Edgar Mortiz, Jay Ilagan and Johnny Delgado.

The weekly show provided different segments such as "Palarong Pambata" (children's games), "Use in a Sentence" and "Ano Daw" (one liner jokes), as well as parodies of some top-rating shows including Rated KKK (Rated K), The Buzz, and Lovers in Pares (Lovers in Paris).[4][5]

In 2015, Goin' Bulilit marked and celebrated their 10th anniversary with the entire former and current cast members.

On June 9, 2019, the show was pre-empted to give away to the airing of the ABS-CBN's Binibining Pilipinas 2019: The Grand Coronation Night at 10pm.

After 14 years of broadcast, the show aired its final episode on August 4, 2019.[6]

The show was re-aired on Kapamilya Channel, A2Z, and Jeepney TV. from 2021 to 2023.

Production and crew[edit]

The show was created by Edgar Mortiz, who co-directed with his son, Frasco Mortiz.[5] Roderick Victoria served as the Creative Manager. The creative/writing team was led by headwriter Sherwin Buenvenida, and included writers Rolf Mahilom, Josel Garlitos, Toffie Runas, Yani Yuzon and Badjie Mortiz.[4]
