Actors Boy2 Quizon and Vandolph shared how important their latest film, Home Along Da Riles: Da Reunion, is not only for the relatives of the late Comedy King Dolphy, but also for the rest of the cast. The two Quizon descendants shared their thoughts and opinions in the latest episode of PUSH It.
Boy2 maintained that this film isn’t a remake of the series but rather a continuation of what happened to the Cosme family several years later.

“Yun yung totoong feeling ng reunion. Hindi namin siya ginawa para i-remake. This is, like, a continuation. Yung wala nang… Ginawa namin yung tribute for them, and for everyone who made it special dun sa movie… I mean, sa Home Along Da Riles. Hindi naman namin [ginawa] para tapatan yun, eh,” Boy2 expressed.
“Gusto lang namin parang… pangangamusta sa kanila na, 'Ito na kami ngayon, oh. Tumanda kami ngayon, oh.' Na feeling namin, lahat ng bata ngayon na tumanda na, may kwento rin sila ngayon,” he added.
Vandolph then shared how this is for the people who grew up watching Home Along Da Riles on ABS-CBN in the past, expressing their gratitude for their loved ones who won’t be able to watch the reunion film as well.
“Offer natin ‘to sa pamilya nilang wala na rin noong kasabay nilang manonood ng Home Along. Tsaka kami ni Dos, naisip talaga namin parang sa panahon ngayon masarap ibalik yung Home Along. Values about family, na pinapakita namin ang pambansang pamilya na kahit anong problema o ungod sa daanan ng isang pamilya, kaya yan lampasan basta sama-sama, ‘di ba? Kaya nga ‘kapamilya’, eh,” Vandolph shared.

When asked by PUSH ABS-CBN what the late Dolphy would say if he could watch the film, the two agreed he would be proud of his legacy, cemented in the Philippine entertainment industry.
“Ang sasabihin niya, 'Proud ako sa inyong dalawa ni Vandolph. Thank you at hanggang ngayon, tinutuloy niyo yung… Dahil sa ginagawa niyo, naalala ako.' … It took us two and a half years and I’m quite sure sasabihin niya, 'Proud na proud ako sa inyo.' ‘Di ba?” Boy2 maintained.
Home Along Da Riles: Da Reunion is now showing in cinemas nationwide.
