Puregold Channel’s newest Tiktok show, “My Plantito,” is definitely not your typical love story, especially in the context of Filipino tradition and values.
It delves into the realm of boy-love, something that is still considered very much unconventional even in this day and age.
But that is where Puregold Channel excels best: Challenging the norm, bravely venturing where few have.
And they have once again succeeded in winning the approval of audiences.
To date, the Puregold Channel Tiktok series has been amassing up to a million views per episode.
Ivy Hayagan-Piedad, Puregold Senior Marketing Manager, is extremely gratified to see that the show is resonating with a massive base of viewers.
“We hope that ‘My Plantito’ is sparking conversations not just about love, but also about kindness, acceptance, and the Filipino family dynamic,” she enthuses.
“My Plantito” stars Kych Minemoto, who brings to life the charismatic Charlie.
Playing Miko, the enigmatic neighbor and plantito, is Michael Ver.
An aspiring content creator, Charlie unintentionally introduces “Miko Plantito” to his audience, which goes viral overnight. Spurred by his BFF Bianca (Devi Descartin), he continues to secretly film Miko, which initially threatens to stall their potential romance.
Recent episodes have shown Charlie and Miko’s friendship and budding romance, along with heartwarming family interactions as Ghaello Salva’s portrayal of Janong, Charlie’s loving and supportive father, adds depth to the narrative.
More uplifting moments are expected to unfold in upcoming episodes, one of which will show Janong and Bianca offering emotional support when Charlie is caught in a creative slump resulting from his rift with Miko.
“My Plantito” streams exclusively on Puregold’s official TikTok account @puregoldph.
