Little Champ set visit with Caloy, Chalk and Lulubelle

Sometimes we learn life’s hardest lessons from kids.

A father and a lost son, a gift and a curse, a hero and an ally--these spell ABS-CBN's newest drama-fantaserye Little Champ. Starring the new child wonder JB Agustin Malatamban and outstanding actors, Little Champ is a story of the heartwarming journey of Caloy and his talking stallion Chalk, a quest to live with his family in harmony, and a mission to fight the evil in the world. We had the opportunity to take a peek at one of their shooting venues last April 9. I had always dreamed of working behind the scenes in a movie or series production and just witnessing the shooting venue and the editing process of Little Champ made me realize its sophistication and complexity.

We watched as Caloy, Lulubelle (Sofia Millares), Jason (Renz Fernandez) and Chalk, the talking horse performed a rap song version of Apo Hiking Society's Batang-bata Ka Pa. I was amazed at how JB and Sofia memorized their lines easily and how patient they were enough to endure many takes to perfect the scene. Chalk also seemed very trained and patiently behaved during the shooting that lasted almost an hour.

We also saw how the editing staff worked out the scene and polished the shots to be aired on TV. I was truly inspired at the intricate process and the huge effort of the actors and production staff to perfect such teleserye that truly offers life's lessons to children. It also proves the Filipino art and creativity in making movies and teleseryes that are worthy of recognition.

Don't miss Little Champ, also starring Sen. Lito Lapid, Katya Santos, Jhong Hilario, Jake Roxas, Micky Ferriols, Paolo Serrano, Coleen Garcia and Precious Lara Quigaman and directed by Richard Arellano, every night before TV Patrol in ABS-CBN's Primetime Bida.
