Early life and education

Herman Salvador was born in the municipality of Calumpit, Bulacan, Philippines. He graduated from the University of Santo Tomas in 1980 with a Bachelor of Communication Arts. [2] He has mentioned that his idol is Dolphy, a Filipino comedian. [2]

Career

Salvador started his career as a scriptwriter. [3] He began writing gags in the early 1980s. [4] In the 1980s he was a comedy writer [3] for the Philippine's longest-running comedy sitcom, John en Marsha , in which he also played a character named Iskô – giving rise to his stage name. [5] After that sitcom ended, he wrote for other shows, including Plaza 1899, Home Along Da Riles, Champoy, Going Bananas, and Buddy en Sol. [3]

Brod Pete

Salvador became a head writer for the Bubble Gang TV show in the 1990s. [4] He achieved prominence for a segment he wrote for the show, "Ang Dating Doon", a parody religion based on the popular late-1990s Philippine religious program Ang Dating Daan (The Old Path). [5] Salvador as Brod Pete would caricature televangelist Eliseo Soriano, as he with his co-actors Cesar Cosme (as Brother Willy) and Chito Francisco (as Brother Jocel) quoted English fairy tales and Tagalog nursery rhymes in place of religious scripture. [5] [6] The audience was promoted to join in a "fanatical chanting" of "Alien" instead of "Amen". [5] Salvador's "Brod Pete" persona is a name pun on American actor Brad Pitt, as the latter's name is prone to mispronunciation with a thick Filipino accent.

In the 2007 version, the sketch was called "Doon Dati" or "Du'n Dati". [6] In 2011 the sketch was renamed "Ang Bagong Dating Doon", focusing on questions or opinions from the other Bubble Gang cast members and fans on social media. The hosts answer the questions through song lyrics that are meanwhile being reinterpreted by Brod Pete in a more humorous way.

Salvador has also appeared as Brod Pete in various films and television shows, including Boy Pick-Up: The Movie , Pidol's Wonderland , Mr. Suave: Hoy! Hoy! Hoy! Hoy! Hoy! Hoy!, Nobody Nobody But Juan, and Klasmeyts.[ citation needed ] His Brod Pete character anchors a talk radio show, The Saturday 3 p.m. Habit with Brod Pete, on which he responds to call-in queries with wacky answers, and is a paid celebrity endorser for the Pollen-B line of health supplements. [2]
