The complete cast of John & Marsha (TV sitcom)
Dolphy, Nida Blanca, Rolly Quizon, Matutina, Dely Atay-Atayan and Maricel Soriano
John & Marsha was the longest-running and most-watched prime time comedy sitcom in the Philippines during the 70s and 80s that aired weekly on RPN Channel 9. It starred Dolphy,Nida Blanca, Dely Atay-Atayan and Maricel Soriano. The show ran from 1973 to 1990. The cast include John Purúntong (Dolphy), his wife Marsha (Nida Blanca), their children Rolly (Rolly Quizon), Shirley (Maricel Soriano), and, later in the show, John-John, and his pesky and nagging mother-in-law Doña Delilah (Dely Atay-atayan). It ran every week for 17 years until 1990. A spin-off from the series, John En Shirley, aired on ABS-CBN in 2006 with only two returning cast members, Dolphy and Maricel Soriano, reprising their old roles.
Marsha Jones marries the impoverished John Purúntong much to the dismay of her wealthy mother, Doña Delilah. Although her daughter married the unemployed John, Doña Delilah often paid a visit to their house along with her maid, Matutína. When money was required, she would tell her maid Matutína to go sweep peso bills off the floor. Despite this, John rejects all the financial help Doña Delilah offers his family, the result of which is a hilarious exchange of insults between the two. The show ends with Doña Delilah's loud catchphrase "Kayà ikáw, John, magsumíkap ka!" ("Therefore you, John, have to work hard!") to insult John's capability as the father of the household. They end up making amends, giving each other abrupt hugs with Doña Delilah exclaiming, "Peace man!" to proclaim peace. (Source: wikipedia)
