Mga Batang Riles tells the story of four underprivileged boys -- Kidlat, Kulot, Sig, and Dags -- who were detained in a juvenile center as a punishment for a crime they did not commit.
In the juvenile center, they must fight the odds, survive, and get out to find the real culprit, clear their names, and save their impoverished neighborhood from corruption and abuse.
Miguel Tanfelix stars as the leader of the group Kidlat. Joining him in Mga Batang Riles are Kokoy de Santos, Bruce Roeland, Raheel Bhyria, Antonio Vinzon, and Zephanie. Also part of this upcoming GMA Prime drama-action series are Diana Zubiri, Jay Manalo, Desiree Del Valle, Ms. Eva Darren, and Mr. Ronnie Ricketts.
Mga Batang Riles is under the helm of Senior Vice President for Entertainment Group Lilybeth G. Rasonable, Vice President for Drama Cheryl Ching-Sy, Assistant Vice President for Drama Helen Rose Sese, Program Manager Dennis Joi K. Bentulan, Executive Producer Erwin Manzano Hilado, Senior Associate Producer May Robles Borja, and Junior Associate Producer Haira Jean Gonzales-Tinaja.
The show's creative team is composed of head writer Glaiza Ramirez, creative director and head Aloy Adlaw, writers Jake Somera and Reggie Amigo, and brainstormers Meryl Bunyi and Loi Argel Nova. The production design is by Kenneth Bernardino and JR Vicencio, and the director of photography is Erwin Cruz.
Directed by Richard Arellano, with the help of associate director Ralfh Manuel Malabunga, Mga Batang Riles will air soon on GMA Prime.
