And this 2024, they have wowed and further won the <em>madlang </em>people over with their acting chops that we didn’t know they possessed through the noontime show’s “Showing Bulilit” segment</p><p>The Showtime kids – comprised by Kulot, Argus, Jaze, and Kelsey – exhibit their acting prowess as they reenact some of the most notable local and international films that we’ve seen over the years. While their ability to emulate the emotions and gestures exuded by the original actors is already astounding, what amazes us more is how they are able to memorize their script, not to mention the long lines that they have to deliver.</p><p>And in this episode of It’s Showtime Toplist, let’s look back on the remarkable scenes from eight iconic Filipino movies that these cute kids rendered.</p><div> </div><div><strong>Labs Kita…Okey Ka Lang?</strong></div><p>Commencing this feature is the compelling portrayal of Kulot and Jaze as the legendary onscreen best friends-turned-lovers Bujoy and Ned, originally starred by Jolina Magdangal and Marvin Agustin, in the 1998 classic romantic comedy drama flick “Labs Kita…Okey Ka Lang?” She may not have experienced yet what Bujoy went through, but it was totally astonishing how Kulot was able to emanate the pain of her character, especially when she uttered the famous, relatable line, “And I&#x27;m so stupid to make the biggest mistake of falling in love with my best friend!”</p><div> </div><div><strong>Minsa’y Isang Gamu-gamo</strong></div><p>We’ve probably heard, “My brother is not a pig!” for several times already, but did you know that it came from the 1976 protest drama film “Minsa’y Isang Gamu-gamo”? And in an episode of Showing Bulilit last May, Kulot once again shone with her astounding depiction of the lead female protagonist, Corazon de la Cruz, played by the Superstar Nora Aunor. She even shed a tear while delivering her lines with tons of conviction.</p><div> </div><div><strong>Maging Sino Ka Man</strong></div><p>Kulot and Jaze also nailed their reenactment of that unforgettable scene in the 1991 box-office hit “Maging Sino Ka Man” starring Megastar Sharon Cuneta and Robin Padilla. Both of them did impressive jobs in portraying Monique and Carding, with Jaze amazing everyone as he blurted out his lines with matching hand gestures.</p><div> </div><div><strong>Hello, Love, Goodbye</strong></div><p>Anyone here who yearns to see the continuation of the love story of Joy (Kathryn Bernardo) and Ethan (Alden Richards) in “Hello, Love, Goodbye”? Well, while we’re all waiting for Part 2 of the highest-grossing Filipino movie of all time to hit the big screen on November 13, 2024, Jaze and Kelsey gave us an adorable depiction of the well-loved star-crossed lovers.</p><div> </div><div><strong>Barcelona: A Love Untold</strong></div><p>Whose heart didn’t melt when Kelsey and Argus reenacted the memorable, stirring “You will never be Celine!” scene from the 2016 romance-drama “Barcelona: A Love Untold”? The <em>madlang</em> audience, apparently, weren’t able to contain their astonishment as they watched the two kids portray the lead protagonists, Mia (Kathryn Bernardo) and Ely (Daniel Padilla).</p><div> </div><div><strong>One More Chance</strong></div><p>The scene they reenacted from the cult-favorite Pinoy flick “One More Chance” may be one of the most heartbreaking, yet we were all undeniably charmed by the cuteness of Kelsey and Jaze. Taking on the iconic roles of Popoy (John Lloyd Cruz) and Basha (Bea Alonzo), the two talented kiddos truly endeared us with their rendition of “Sana ako pa rin, ako na lang. Ako na lang ulit” at “She loved me at my worst, you had me at my best; at binalewala mol ang lahat ‘yon” scenes.</p><div> </div><div><strong>Madrasta</strong></div><p>They may still be young and naïve, but Kelsey and Argus once again gave us an intense performance as they recreated the “I was never your partner, I’m just your wife!” scene between the characters of Sharon Cuneta and Christopher de Leon in the 1996 family drama movie “Madrasta.”</p><div> </div><div><strong>Anak</strong></div><p>And lastly, Kulot undoubtedly nailed her portrayal of Josie, the famous maternal character played by Star For All Seasons Vilma Santos in the classic Pinoy movie “Anak,” which won “Best Film” in the 2000 Catholic Mass Media Awards. Portraying her rebellious daughter, Carla (Claudine Barretto), was Kelsey.</p><p>Were you able to catch these “Showing Bulilit” performances, Kapamilya?</p><p>See more of the Showtime kids’ impressive acting chops by not missing an episode of <em><strong><u>I<a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/itsshowtime">t’s Showtime</a></u></strong></em>, Mondays to Saturdays at noon, on <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/articles-news/kapamilya-channel-livestream-12685"><em><strong><u>Kapamilya Channel</u></strong></em></a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@abscbnentertainment"><em><strong><u>Kapamilya Online Live</u></strong></em></a>, A2Z, GTV, and GMA 7.</p>
