Body-switching & the lessons of Christmas

MANILA, Philippines - Starting last night, SRO Cinemaserye greets the holiday season with an inspiring story that teaches the lessons of love, modesty and acceptance between two different individuals in Exchange Gift.

This Christmas offering topbills Dennis Trillo as Miguel and one child actor Francis Magundayao as EJ.

Miguel is such a workaholic and doesn’t want to make a commitment to anything other than work. His easygoing life is suddenly turned upside down when his nephew EJ starts to live with him.

They don’t get along perfectly and argue most of the time. When EJ’s father dies unexpectedly, Miguel is left with no choice but be stuck forever with the little boy. His structured life makes a 360-degree-turn when he becomes EJ’s guardian.

But he will not let the circumstances turn him into an instant daddy. Miguel plans to bring EJ to an orphanage. As they make their way to the shelter, the two constantly fight and bicker and they accidentally shove Santa Claus.

Because of their bad behavior, Santa gives them a gift that changes their lives forever. He magically switched their bodies to give them a lesson. Miguel ends up inside EJ’s body while EJ is locked up inside Miguel’s body.

Will Miguel and EJ get their bodies back? How will they deal with awkward situations that arise as a result of their switched bodies as Miguel enters the orphanage while EJ embraces the life inside the office? As they try to comprehend the bizarre happening in their lives, will Miguel and EJ finally realize their shortcomings and learn their lessons?

The many hilarious and enlightening moments of SRO Cinemaserye’s new season is led by director Mac Alejandre together with Jun Lana as headwriter. Rounding up the cast are Nadine Samonte as Sharon, Ryza Cenon as Veronique and Gene Padilla as Santa.
