Today, TV darlings Michael V. and Manilyn Reynes believe more than ever that dreams do come true. That is, if you put your heart and soul into making it happen and taking care of it once it does.
Lead stars of GMA Network's long-running Saturday family sitcom, "Pepito Manaloto," the dream-come-true for Bitoy and Manne in this case isn't necessary the show's simple but riveting premise of poor-but-devoted-family-man winning the lottery. Instead, it is actually the fact - or better yet the achievement - that they've been telling the story of the nouveau riche but unchangingly grounded and big-hearted Manalotos for an entire decade now and are still going strong.
