Set against the backdrop of gritty Tondo, the series features original music from a whole host of celebrity Filipino singers and musicians. The series is painstakingly designed and produced in Manila with the help crew from Japan, South Korea, USA, Malaysia, and Singapore.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we first came across Barangay 143 during its development phase, it seemed like a natural choice for us to be a part of.\u00a0 We hope that Japanese creativity will bring light into the Filipino story and characters to life,\u201d Takahiro Kishimoto, Head of Animation, International Business Department of TV Asahi said in a statement.<\/p>\n

Moreover, fans can enjoy Barangay 143 not just as a TV Series but through\u00a0<\/strong>app. The Barangay 143 Street League mobile game<\/strong> is already available on the Google Play Store for Android and the iOS App Store. The narrative story within the mobile game leads to the suspense and drama that drives the story for the upcoming TV Series.<\/p>\n

\u201cWithin the series, the comic strip and even the game we have tried to capture the real-life experiences of the Philippines through the art and the sounds,\u201d Jackeline Chua, Managing Director and Co-Founder of Synergy88 Entertainment Media Inc. said in a statement. \u201cWith Barangay 143 Street League we also created a unique experience that helps players compete with friends in cyberspace but get their wins rewarded in the real world.\u201d<\/p>\n
