Very reliable and believes that a man's word is sacred. Aside from being a veterinarian, he loves to dance and engage in a variety of sports. He adores his "pamangkins" and takes very good care of them. He simply loves animals and this is why he' s able to put up with his "kinakapatid", Godo.
  • Babalu (1993-1998) as Don Robert Makunatan Babsy or Mang Berto-He is a millionaire Don, rich but kuripot, since the death of his wife, Mamsy, he is a Balut magnate so to speak but is a very shrewd and cunning businessman. In spite of his stinginess in business, he usually softens up once his daughters, Toni and Alex makes endearments to him. He also has a son, Paolo, whom he expects to follow and take-over hi Balut Business. Babsy has this inherent hatred over Godo, and dislikes Aga for his daughter Alex.
  • Carmina Villaroel as as Dyords/George-one of the newest (as of 1996) addition to the "family". George is the bigger version of Camille.

  • Camille Prats as Camille-She is our typical "siga" little girl who is fond of doing boyish stuff and games. She loves kicking Godo in the shin and this makes him jump up and down She has tomboyish tendencies which Aga and Agot discourage. the thing with her is that only Godo catches her when she causes trouble but she takes on the persona of an angel when Aga or Agot arrive, therefore putting the blame on Godo.

[edit] Trivia

  • It has also a movie edition in mid-1996 via Star Cinema with all the cast members except Charlene and Roderick.
  • The show's reunion was aired in 2003 via OK Fine Whatever. In the reunion, "OK Fine" cast member Edu Manzano took over the late Babalu's role of Mang Berto while Bayani Agbayani took over Jimmy Santos' role of Godo.
  • Claudine Barretto leave the sitcom during the later years due to her busy schedules in soap operas. She was then replaced by Rica Peralejo.
  • Unknown to many people Babalu still continued taping for the sitcom even when he was diagnosed by doctors to have liver cancer in 1998. He only stopped taping when his condition worsened and had to go to the States for treatment. He eventually died in August of 1998. As part of the show's tribute to the late comedian, the producers decide to retire the character of Mang Berto and bit comedian Don Pepot was cast as Mang Berto's brother who possess the same qualities as his late brother.
  • Former PBA superstar Benjie Paras was also part of the cast as one of Doc Aga's new neighbors (the other one being Roderick Paulate). Though Roderick's role was expanded later on and evolved as Agot's rival over Doc Aga's affections, Benjie's role was insignificant and was later relegated to the background. Part of the reason why Paras only got a minor role in the sitcom was because he was concentrated on his basketball career with Shell Turbochargers.
  • The last set of Oki Doki Doc was also used in Arriba! Arriba!. Only Doc Aga's house was used.
