Did Jose Manalo replace this Dabarkad as lead star of Boy Tokwa?
Was Jose Manalo the first choice as lead star of the comedy film Boy Tokwa: Lodi ng Gapo?
This movie, which is currently being screened in cinemas, is the first feature film offering of the Vicente “Tito” Sotto-owned outfit VST Productions.
According to Direk Tony Reyes, they initially thought of tapping another comedian to bring life to Rodrigo Morelos (aka Boy Tokwa).
In an interview with PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal), Direk Tony disclosed the first choice of the producers.
"Actually, nung una, gusto sana nila Joey de Leon. Pero nung nakita ko yung picture ni Boy Tokwa, kamukha sila ni Jose Manalo.
"Sabi ko sa kanila, mas maganda siguro kung si Jose."
Boy Tokwa is based on the true story of a con artist who only targets foreigners.
