Komiks Presents Mars Ravelo's Kapitan Boom will bid
goodbye with an action-packed finale episode this Saturday, August 2.
Kapitan Boom is one of the not-so-popular characters created by Filipino comic book writer Mars Ravelo. The Boombastic superhero was virtually unknown to televiewers but soon became known among children and other family members as well.
Kapitan Boom captured the attention of viewers for his charming but fumbling personality as well as his funny antics and comical strategies. His misadventures soon though became successful in the end as he tickled the viewer's funny bones and touched their hearts.
In the finale, Kapitan Boom will be able to destroy the transmitter for the time machine. But this zaps up all of his strength, power and energy. And the ensuing electrical storms brought about by the machine results in chaos. Kapitan Boom flies to the territory of his nemesis, Bionic Hector, only to find out that he has captured the three people that he loves the most: his mother, father, and Melody.
Kapitan Boom will make his last stand against his mortal enemy. And in the end, only one will succeed.
The lead characters of the show have mixed emotions as the fantaserye comes to an end. Jon Avila, who plays Kapitan Boom, says, "I'll miss working with my cast because mababait sila. It's been fun working with Direk Dondon Santos. It's a great honor and I'm very proud to be part of the show."
Jay-R Siaboc, who plays Lance or Kapitan Boom's alter ego, says that he will miss their lively banter on the set. "Sa akin naman, yung mga kulitan. Kasi kami lahat, si Jon noong mga unang araw pa lang ng taping, sobrang tahimik niya. Hanggang sa kinukulit namin. Hanggang sa nahawa na siya. Ngayon, mas makulit pa siya kaysa sa amin. Kahit si Tita Gloria [Sevilla] nakikipagkulitan sa amin. Masaya. Sobrang hindi namin makakalimutan."
Other stars in the show include Maja Salvador, Marianna del Rio, Thou Reyes, Gloria Sevilla, William Lorenzo, and Bembol Roco.
Don't miss the last episode of Kapitan Boom, which airs back-to-back on August 2 with new TV series Varga at 6:45 p.m. on ABS-CBN.
