Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This represents GMA's 2011 push to revive classic komiks characters for primetime, part of a broader nostalgic wave in Philippine television.
The 1993 film version starred Rosanna Roces, whose performance as Bugana became iconic enough that Gardo Versoza later played a parody of his own Machete role in comedy sketches.
