From   the  makers  of the movie “Walang Take Two”  comes    “Hapi Ang Buhay”,    the  movie’s spinoff  sitcom  which  resumes  to  narrate  life  in  a  usual  urban Filipino  community as the neighborhood encounters various timely social issues. Hapi (John Stevenson Tabangay), a starry-eyed, aspiring filmmaker, continues his quest to fulfill his dreams.

Together with  him are  Onyok (Edward Flores),  his levelheaded ally,  who tries to steer him to making rational decisions; and Caloy (Erbil Escano), a loyal, but carefree friend, whose soaring overconfidence often puts him in precarious situations.

Also returning are Alfajor (Wilson Tapalla), the persistent loan shark, and the mischievous Oblax (Dennis Garcia). Join them as they attempt to make sense of everything, while weaving through life’s hilarious side and picking up valuable lessons along the way.
