Miguel Tanfelix and Bruce Roeland's viral 'bungguan' moment was just acting

Miguel Tanfelix and Bruce Roeland’s viral “bungguan” video was only an act as a teaser for their ongoing series, “Mga Batang Riles.”

According to Lhar Santiago’s report on “24 Oras,” Friday, the viral clip was taken during the media conference for the Kapuso show to demonstrate how serious they are about the action-packed project.

But off-cam, the cast has nothing but brotherhood and care for each other.

“Talagang nagkakasundo po kaming lahat,” Miguel said.

“Sobrang saya ko dahil pupunta ako ng set kahit marami kaming mga pinagdadaanan sa buhay, sila talaga ‘yung nagpapasaya sa ‘min,” Bruce said.

Kokoy De Santos said that they have grown closer to each other ever since their first taping day, while Raheel Bhyria compared their bond to strong train tracks.

“It’s like a family to me po. Parang pamilya ko na po sila, mga tropa ko, mga katrabaho ko, so nag-elevate po talaga ‘yung friendship namin,” Antonio Vinzon said.

“Mga Batang Riles” follows the townspeople of Sitio Liwanag, who will do what it takes to keep their homes and fight for their rights against the rich Victor family, who own a realty company and want to take the land to create a modern complex.

It started airing on Monday and also stars Diana Zubiri, Desiree Del Valle, Jay Manalo, and Ronnie Ricketts, among others.

“Mga Batang Riles” airs on GMA Prime at 8 p.m.
