The ‘Running Man Philippines’ cast is so competitive!

Who else can't wait for “Running Man Philippines?”

The local adaptation of the longest-running South Korean reality game show, featuring an all-star cast of Mikael Daez, Glaiza de Castro, Ruru Madrid, Buboy Villar, Lexi Gonzales, Kokoy de Santos, and Angel Guardian, will start filming soon. And at the show’s media conference Friday, the press learned just how competitive the cast already is.

“Ako ah, sa dumi, wala akong pakialam diyan. Sa mga challenges, gagawin ko ang best ko diyan,” Buboy said.

“Kilala ko kung sino ako eh, kung baga reading-ready ako sa mga challenges na bibigay sa akin. Ewan ko lang sa mga kasama ko kung ready sila. Kung mag-i-inarte sila, eh 'di [maganda] sa ‘kin yun kasi ako yung mananalo,” he laughed.

Mikael added that with their diverse personalities, he’s looking forward to seeing how they play off of each other.

“Pag nilagay na kami sa challenges, sa mga games, kusang lalabas talaga yung iba’t ibang personality. Panong nag-ja-jive, panong hindi nag-ja-jive. I think we’re gonna enjoy,” he said.

“Para sa mga [kasali] diyan na baka nagdududa or naiilang na baka ayaw niyong maputikan, wag kayong mag-alala. Bubuhatin ko kayo at itutulak ko kayo sa putikan,” the actor and content creator joked.

“Willing naman ako magpatulak, Mikael. I mean, magpaka-wild sa lahat ng mga pagkakataon,” Kokoy clapped back. “And for sure, lahat naman kami ibibigay ang best namin. Importante lang naman is yung puso at tiwala.”

Meanwhile, Ruru mentioned that he is not a competitive person at all, but that he has to channel that energy for the show.

“Kailangan hindi ka takot pumangit sa ganitong klaseng programa. Kasi kung napanood mo yung original na ‘Running Man,’ minsan makikita mo gumugulong-gulong lang sila sa putikan, ganun yung nagiging itsura nila. So siguro yun yung dapat lumabas sa aming lahat para mag-work din itong show na ito,” Ruru said.

The cast will soon fly to South Korea, where they will shoot the entire season at the exact location of the original series. — LA, GMA News
