Production

*Super Inggo was developed by a group of certified 1980s 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

top management, so taping went full steam ahead. But the biggest hurdle was when the all succeeding episodes 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.


Synopsis

The story focuses on its 10-year old central character named Budong who dreams to be a full-pledged superhero. Unknown to him, he possesses superhuman abilities that he inherited from his superhero father and Evil Mother, Bugan. Raised by his adoptive mother Pacita, he grew up to be a street smart kid together with his best friend Jomar. He secretly entered the Power Academy to train as a superhero and become "Super Inggo" which gave the Prince of Darkness the idea of Budong being his long lost son, which he had with Bugan. The Prince of Darkness created strategies to confirm it and in order to fulfill his plan to complete the circle of ''Evil Trinity''. It was later revealed that his half-brother Jomar was actually the Son of the Prince of Darkness and their biological mother is Bugan.
