Watch the funny episodes of Casa Ekselente presented by Taiwan Excellence.
The Covid-19 pandemic did not spare anyone, in the Philippines or anywhere
else in the world. Businesses big or small, tourist destinations, and even
the small sari-sari store, did not escape the wrath of the deadly virus.
Casa Ekselente's Tips On Solving Family Problems
More about families like the Ekselente family
The Ekselente family is your typical Filipino brood that struggled mightily
during the pandemic. They own a resort, which is both their family home and
prime source of income. Since they have no visitors because of the lockdowns
and community quarantines, the family business is losing money for lack of
income. Worse, the family is considering selling it to be able to survive.
Theirs was an archetypal dilemma that would test their values, and how they
would be able to keep the family together in such stressful times was told
through the eyes of the family’s helper or “Kasambahay,” Ofelia, who remained
loyal and true to the Ekselente family.
She shared in their difficulties and heartaches and even went out of her way
to help the family that had been good to her by staying with them, to help
them keep themselves together as they go through life’s challenges.
Showcasing family life
Their story showcased several facets of family life: the emotional struggles
of the father, the resolve of the mother whose stabilizing force is tested
constantly, and the situation that their son and daughter are in as they
suddenly faced an unexpected turn from the life that they were used to before
the pandemic, when everything was still sweet and rosy.
The story of the Ekselente family was convincingly brought to life through a
six-part series that featured real-life scenarios, coupled with pleasant and
rejuvenating—sometimes heart-wrenching—music, as the family went through their
daily struggles, a life suddenly turned upside down.
The father, Jojo Ekselente, is a former Overseas Filipino Worker who bought
the resort to show that he is capable of giving his wife, who comes from a
well-off family, and his children, whom he barely knew him since he was always
overseas working, a comfortable life. He returned to the country because of
the pandemic but struggled to find a decent job.
Soledad “Sol” Ekselente, the resolute rich kid, struggled in keeping the
resort and her family intact, even if she has almost zero experience running a
business, let alone a household because she was a unica hija. She is trying to
learn to handle things, no doubt, but the hardships kept piling up, like
whether to sell the resort or not, and keeping away from her snobbish mother.
David Ekselente, the “chill” guy, is the exact opposite of his sister. The
family’s “gamer” seems to lack that competitive fire his sister has and would
rather settle with what he has at the moment than chase the bigger things in
life and not be too preoccupied with the family’s problems since he has
problems of his own.
Cheska Ekselente, the last member of the Ekselente off-springs, is very much
like his father—competitive and go-getter—an ambitious Dean’s Lister in
college and an aspiring social media influencer.
She is driven by her desire to be fully independent and will stop at nothing
to achieve her goals, yet longs for attention from her father whom she feels
she doesn’t know much since he was always out of the country working, until
now that he became jobless but may soon return for work and may leave again.
Finally, the matriarch, Lola Beatrice (Sol’s mother) is the picture-perfect
rendition of an alta sosyedad mother– nosy, sneering, condescending—but can be
deemed overprotective since Sol is an only daughter. She makes known her
disdain for his son-in-law, rubbing in his incompetence by being a lola who
spoils her grandchildren, always giving them what they want just to despise
their father.
