About the Show

Lola Basyang is a timeless Pinoy icon whose name has become synonymous with storytelling time. She has a delightful collection of folktales and other stories that have become inherent to Philippine culture.

Mga Kuwento ni Lola Basyang breathes new life to the classic tales of Severino Reyes, the creator of the popular storyteller and writer of innumerable stories and zarzuela plays. It also gives a fresh take on the traditional rocking chair storytelling by introducing a younger character who will continue the legacy of Lola Basyang. Gervacia Zamora Reyes a.k.a. Herbie, Lola Basyang’s granddaughter, has made it a personal advocacy to disseminate her grandmother’s unforgettable stories. Together with her eight-year-old son Efren and pet dog Pitik, she drives around in a “rolling library” van packed with Lola Basyang’s books and goes to various places to spread Lola Basyang’s classic tales and golden values.
