"Komiks Presents Tiny Tony" will begin on October 11.

Finally, the adventures of “Tiny Tony” will begin on October 11, 2008 replacing “Varga” on “Komiks Presents”. Tiny Tony is another creation of Mars Ravelo. This is welcome news as I personally don’t like “Varga” who has evolved to just another fantasy-love story.

“Komiks presents: Tiny Tony” is top billed by John Prats who will play the role of Tony. The 24-year-old actor said that he is excited to play as Tiny Tony although this is not the first time for him to play a superhero role. He has played superhero roles before in the movies Batang X (1995) and Super Noypi (2006). He said that there’s a big technological difference between the scenes he shoot for Tiny Tony and his previous works.

Tiny Tony revolves around the story of a poor but excessively smart kid, Tony, who was discovered by a scientist (Dr. Peralta) who eventually sponsored his entire schooling. Together, they formulated a secret shrinking solution which was poured over to Tony in an accident. Tony became tiny and killed Dr. Peralta in the process.

Joining Prats' exciting adventures are stars Alex Gonzaga, Coco Martin, Mura, Susan Africa and Gerard Acao with the special participation of Pen Medina, Zaijan Jaranilla, Julius Garesa and Kim Alcantara

"Tiny Tony" is directed by Mr. Dondon Santos.

Watch out for Tiny Tony's adventures as it premieres this coming Saturday, October 11 only on ABS-CBN.

John Prats, as Tiny Tony in “Komiks Presents”

After signing a contract with the Kapamilya Network, John Prats now appears as the newest superhero in “Komiks Presents Mars Ravelo’s Tiny Tony”.

John’s role as the small but powerful superhero suits him perfectly.

The cast recently had acting workshops and pictorials for the mini-series. John wore his orange costume and will don blue hair.

Tony (John Prats) is a nerd who dreams of making a difference in society. One day he meets an accident which literally causes him to become small.

Will Tony ever return to his normal size? Or will he forever be Tiny Tony?

John Prats has had many projects lined up, such as his mini-series with Aiko Melendez in “Your Song”, a special appearance in “I Love Betty La Fea” and his job as mainstay host and performer in “ASAP ’08”.

Watch out for other updates of the newest superhero in “Komiks Presents Mars Ravelo’s Tiny Tony”, soon on ABS-CBN.

John Prats and Aiko Melendez on “Your Song”.

John Prats will be working with Aiko Melendez for ABS-CBN's "Your Song: Someone Like You". The episode was based on the song "How Did You Know" By Piolo Pascual.

Prats also admitted that he had a childhood crush with Aiko and that he still admires the actress because of her unfading grace and beauty.

He said that he just finished taping for "Your Song" with Melendez, and that he feels overwhelmed and honored to work with the actress. He said that on the first taping day he really had a hard time talking to Melendez because he was shy, but he and the rest of the cast eventually took time to bond with the actress.

In "Your Song" people will definitely see a more mature and sexier Prats. He said that doing intimate scenes was really easy for him since he was already comfortable with Melendez.

"Your Song: Someone Like You" is directed by Don Cuaresma. The series features the May-December romance betweeen the characters played by Melendez (Marge) and Prats (Melvin).

The two meet in a bar and because of Marge’s depression over a break-up with husband-to-be Allen, she ended up spending the night with Melvin.

Years later, Marge and Melvin will meet again, this time as co-teachers. A seemingly unlikely couple, will the two stand the test of time?

To find out the answer, watch the series only on ABS-CBN every Sunday this September after ASAP ’08.
