In the show, Peachy (Angelu) was paired with Joaqs (Bobby Andrews). Now who watched their movies? Aminin! (Photo courtesy of VIVA Communications, Inc.)

Aside from "TGIS the Movie" Angelu and Bobby also starred in "Ang Lahat Ng Ito'y Para sa 'Yo" (in this movie Angelu's character died) Ikaw na sana: The Movie, Laging Naroon Ka, and Wala Na Bang Pag-ibig. Most of their movies' OST were sung by Jaya. (Photo courtesy of VIVA Communications, Inc.)

Those who grew up watching TGIS will forever remember Bobby's character Wacks. His team up with Angelu (Peachy) was so realistic everyone thought they will end up together. (Photo courtesy of VIVA Communications, Inc.)

When he left Viva in 2002, Bobby shifted from matinee idol roles to offbeat roles in several ABS-CBN and GMA shows. (Photo courtesy of VIVA Communications, Inc.)

Though she started out as a child star, Sunshine became very popular only after she appeared in TGIS. She starred in "Honey, My Love, So Sweet" (1999) and "Kiss Mo Ko" (1999) with her constant love team Polo Ravales. (Photo courtesy of VIVA Communications, Inc.)

After the success of TGIS and its spin-off Growing Up, Onemig transferred to ABS-CBN where he starred in several TV shows and movies. He's no longer active in showbiz, and was reportedly trying to dip his hands in politics. (Photo courtesy of VIVA Communications, Inc.)

Dingdong Dantes is Iñaki Torres in the second generation of TGIS. He was paired up with Antoinette Taus (Bianca de Jesus). Don't you miss Dingdong's haircut and braces? (VIVA Communications, Inc.)

Dingdong has gone a long way even after the heydays of TGIS. He has become one of Philippine TV's top leading men and GMA's prized talent. (Photo courtesy of VIVA Communications, Inc.)

This photo of Antoinette Taus is so classic. Taking a photo beside a bunch of flowers is just so '90s! (Photo courtesy of VIVA Communications, Inc.)

Now based in the US, Antoinette Taus tries her luck away from the Philippines. During the peak of her love team with Dingdong Dantes, a lot of fans were hopeful that the two will end up together. (Photo courtesy of VIVA Communications, Inc.)

We heard this cutie pie was nicknamed Red since he was born so reddish. There's no question there though, since his dad's American and his mom's Tsinoy. (Photo courtesy of VIVA Communications, Inc.)

Oh Red, can we just pinch your cheeks? (Photo courtesy of VIVA Communications, Inc.)

Kim Delos Santos is Tere Gonzaga in the teen-oriented show. She ended up marrying her love team Dino Guevarra in real life. But their marriage was eventually annulled in 2010. (Photo courtesy of VIVA Communications, Inc.)
