Sure makes Harlow Wilcox's constant praise of Johnson Wax in ''Radio/FibberMcGeeAndMolly'' seem legit in comparison.

...except it played out as a fairly blatant MerchandiseDriven affair, made to promote and sell whichever products Vic Sotto, Kris Aquino and their co-stars were currently endorsing at the time. And there were a lot of them -- Ariel detergent, Lucky Me noodles and Solmux cough syrup to name a few. Not to mention being a star vehicle for child actors Ryzza Mae Dizon and Kris' son Bimby Yap, who made his feature film debut.

An InNameOnly sequel to ''My Little Bossings'' entitled ''My Big Bossing'' was released in 2014, with next to no connection to the previous film. ''My Big Bossing'' instead focuses more on Ryzza Mae Dizon's portrayals of three different characters in a fantasy setting, becoming more or less in line with Vic Sotto's previous ''Enteng Kabisote'' entries.

Quite possibly the UsefulNotes/{{Philippines}}' answer to ''Film/MacAndMe'' and ''Film/TheWizard'', and one of [[SarcasmMode the most successful blockbusters]] the country has ever seen during the UsefulNotes/MetroManilaFilmFestival. [[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer No, really]]. Torky, played by veteran comedian Creator/VicSotto, is a bookkeeper working for Baba (Kris Aquino), a businesswoman. A threat in Baba's life forces her to put her son Justin under Torky's care, to be met by his daughter Ice and his young ward Ching whom he adopted from the streets. Or at least that's the premise...
