[ Recognitions ]

Finalist, 2007 International Emmy Awards for the category "Children and Young People": Regional Semi-finalist
Special Citation, 2007 Catholic Mass Media Awards Best Drama Series category

[Production ]

Super Inggo was developed by a group of certified ‘80s kids, who have started working for TV, led by Liendro Candelaria. Missing their childhood campy heroes and missing the love teams of That’s Entertainment, these creative minds pitched the concept of the superserye purely for the fun of seeing their heroes go through marriage and parenthood.
The pilot episode got rave reviews from ABS-CBN top management, so taping went full steam ahead. But the biggest hurdle was when the succeeding episodes all got rejected because they were too "gothic."
Thirty-five half-hour episodes rewritten, re-shot, re-edited and re-scored. The producers saved what they could of the original taped episodes, and shot new takes. Result: a six-month delay. But the most shocking was Mark Anthony Fernandez’s hairstyle that changed from short to long in two consecutive scenes — an offshoot of tapings shot so far apart.
