Baes & Taki star in TROPS starting Oct. 24
The latest and hottest all-male group Baes is set to invade the television screen with newest female teen sensation Taki in the all-new fresh morning series for millennials, TROPS.
A product of the longestrunning noontime show, Eat,
Bulaga!, Baes is composed of Kenneth Medrano, Kim Last, Jon Timmons, Tommy Peñaflor, Miggy Tolentino and Joel Palencia.
Taki, meanwhile, is a French-Japanese Pinay talent regularly seen in the said noontime show.
Kenneth is the grand winner in the That’s My Bae segment. A native of Cebu City, he can act, sing and dance. Kenneth has appeared in one of Eat, Bulaga!’ s Lenten specials and was part of the morning series Calle Siete.
Twenty-year-old Miggy, on the other hand, is into dancing. It has become his passport to a career in show business. TROPS serves as his biggest acting break as he portrays the role of Kenneth’s rival over Taki’s heart.
Kenneth and Taki’s team-up first gained following in Calle Siete. Its fan base grew even bigger when the teen sensation became a regular in Eat, Bulaga!
Meanwhile, Kim is a Filipino-British mixed martial arts expert. Aside from being a dancer, he is also a comedian and a mainstay in Sunday PinaSaya.
Tommy is the tallest of the Baes at 6’. He is a BS Radiologic Technology graduate. He sings and acts. Like teen sensation Taki, Jon and Joel are themselves masters of the dance floor.
In preparation for TROPS, Taki and the BAES underwent acting workshops to better tackle their respective roles.
TROPS will delve into various issues concerning today’s generation — peer pressure, friendship, rivalry and generation gap.
Parents of millennials will relate to each episode. TROPS aims to acquaint viewers with the dynamics of today’s millennials — from their fashion, attitude to relationships.
Directed by Linnet Zurbano, TROPS will promote values like love and respect.
Produced by TAPE, Inc., TROPS premieres today at 11:30 a.m. before Eat, Bulaga.
