The Beautiful Lolas Of 'Eat Bulaga' Now Star In Their Own Movie, The Horror Comedy 'Trip Ubusan, Lolas Vs Zombies'

THE BEAUTIFUL LOLAS who gained their own loyal following from the hit Kalyeserye of “Eat Bulaga” now have their own movie, “Trip Ubusan, Lolas vs. Zombies”, which was obviously inspired by the Korean zombie movie, “Train to Busan”, which is a big hit worldwide.

“Noon pa nire-request ng fans ng mga lola na magka-movie sila,” says Jose Manalo who plays Lola Tinidora. “O heto, sa wakas, napagbigyan na sila rito sa ‘Trip Ubusan, Lolas Vs. Zombies’ at opening na kami sa November 22.”

“Horror-comedy ito kaya tiyak na matatakot na, matatawa pa ang audiences,” adds Wally Bayola who plays Lola Nidora. “Directed ito by Mark Reyes at co-producers ang APT Entertainment ni Mr. Tony Tuviera at ng MZet Productions ni Bossing Vic Sotto. From start to finish, maraming mga eksenang mae-entertain and audience dito.”

Paolo Ballesteros, who plays Lola Tidora, is so busy as he also has a film to open the following week, “Barbi, D’Wonder Beki”. “Sobrang nakakapagod maglagari kasi aside from these two movies, meron akong isa pang movie sa Viva, ‘Amnesia Love’, with Yam Concepcion,” he says. “Then we all know meron kaming ‘The Beautiful Lolas’ talk show every morning at ‘All for Juan’ pa sa ‘Eat Bulaga’ every afternoon naman. Kaya talagang lagari ako from one set to another. Shooting dito, taping doon, and I do all my make up at wala akong driver so I drive my own car to and from each set, kaya pinaghihirapan ko sila talagang lahat.”

He has really experienced sleep deprivation these past couple of months. “May times na madaling araw na akong nakakauwi at natutulog na lang ako nang naka-make up pa. Para paggising ko sa umaga, after only a few hours of sleep, nire-retouch ko na lang at magre-report naman ako sa aking next location. Hindi ko akalaing darating talaga yung ganitong time na sabay-sabay at kaliwa’t kanan ang projects ko sa TV at sa big screen. Hindi ako nagrereklamo, ha. May nagtatanong nga kundi ako afraid of overexposure. E, iba-iba naman ang roles na ginagampanan ko sa bawat project na ginagawa ko, so okay lang. Sabi nga, make hay na lang while the sun shines. Nagpapasalamat na lang ako sa mga taong patuloy na nagbibigay ng tiwala sa akin. Nago-overlap nga ang promo ng two movies kong ‘Trip Ubusan’ at ‘Barbi, D’ Wonder Beki’ so sabay ko na lang silang pino-promote.”

In “Trip Ubusan”, which is a road trip movie, the Lolas are inside a big bus in the countryside when they encounter an attack of zombies. With them in the cast are Ryzza Mae Dizon, Angelika de la Cruz, Arthur Solinap, and “Trops” young stars Taki Saito, Kenneth Medrano, Miggy Tolentino, plus Lovely Abella and former TV 5 star Shaira Mae de la Cruz.
