He also appeared in several sitcoms on GMA Network like Daddy Di Do Du and Ful Haus, both starring Vic Sotto.

- Frankie A. Arenolli – the rival of Alden for the love of Yaya Dub, played by Maine Mendoza
- Don Francisco "Franing" Arenolli - Frankie's father
- Tinidora Zobeyala – one of the triplets alongside Nidora (played by Wally Bayola) and Tidora (played by Paolo Ballesteros)
- Gasgas Abelgas – the narrator when a Kalyeserye episode ends
- Gingging – a Parody Character from Batibot, who replaced Gasgas Abelgas as a Closing Narrator since Anselmo and Nidora's Lovestory Chapter in Kalyeserye.
Controversy
In 2012, Jose Manalo's wife (Annalyn) lodged a complaint against the comedian for verbal and emotional abuse.[3] In her affidavit, she claimed that the abuse started in 2011.[4] Manalo denied the charges of abuse and also his wife's accusations of family abandonment and child neglect.[5] In his official statement, Manalo asserted that he provided support, "financial or otherwise," to his children.[4][6]
In late 2013, however, Manalo's daughter filed a case of violation against her father for failure to provide financial support, which caused her to drop out of school.[7] The following year, his daughter subsequently attempted suicide, citing her family problems and mainly blaming her father as the reason.[8] Manalo had also refuted these allegations by his daughter.[9]
