Bibeth Orteza Very Pleased To Work With Top Comedians As Writer-Director Of GMA-7's New Sitcom, 'Hay Bahay'

BIBETH ORTEZA is the writer-director of “Hay Bahay”. She says she’s very pleased to work again with Vic Sotto and Ai Ai de las Alas. “When you’re working with real pros like them, kasama pa sina Jose and Wally, plus Oyo and Kristine, hindi parang trabaho kundi parang naglalaro lang kayo,” she adds. “Lumilipas ang oras, di mo namamalayan, tapos na pala ang taping nyo. ‘Hay Bahay’ is a fun show about different people na iba-iba ang mga ugali, tapos nagkasama-sama sa loob ng isang bahay na iisa ang banyo, so riot talaga. Oyo is Yoyo and Kristine is Batch. When we’re starting the show, hindi pa mag-asawa ang characters nila. But Kristine suddenly got pregnant so we incorporated her pregnancy in the story. Sa paglaki ng tiyan niya in the coming months, we’ll also take that into consideration.”

So in the current story, Oyo and Kristine are playing husband and wife, just like what they really are in real life. “They’re newly weds here,” adds Direk Bibeth. “Dati silang nakatira sa mother ni Kristine, si Ruby Rodriguez as Nenuca. E, may pagka-meddlesome ito, so nagsarili sila and they bought their own house with three rooms. Pero pinaupahan nila yung two rooms to help them pay their loan sa bank. In one room, si Vic Sotto as Vio at ang pinsan niyang si Jose as Mael ang tumira.

In the other room, si Ai Ai naman as Lav, for Lavinia, ang tumira kasama ang half brother niyang si Wally as Sikat. Sina Ai Ai, dating nakatira sa father nila, si Joonee Gamboa, na nag-asawa uli to a much younger bride, si Bettina Carlos, na hindi sila kasundo kaya humiwalay sila. Si Ai Ai, events coordinator na burara, very careless sa bahay. Si Vic naman, food blogger na obsessive compulsive sa sobrang kalinisan, kaya pag pinagsama mo sila, may big conflict agad. So what do you expect when people with clashing personalities live in the same house? Yoyo and Batch will serve as the referees sa mga nag-aaway nilang tenants so abangan ninyo ang show every Sunday night.”
