Palos, one of the biggest budgeted and most talked about projects of ABS-CBN, will start showing in summer 2008. The Kapamilya network remakes the movie that made Bernard Bonnin an action superstar in the ‘70s.

The title Palos is the Tagalog word for "eel""the snakelike fish that's quick, slick, and hard to capture. These qualities make for Jake's character: swift, smooth, versatile. Palos is based on the classic Filipino comics and film character of the same name, a professional thief who is adept in the fighting arts and possesses acrobatic skills. He's as slippery as an eel and as rarely  caught.

The TV series is based on the Palos movies that were released from the 1960s to the 1980s. The character was created by Virgilio and Nestor Redondo and first introduced to the public in the Tagalog Klasiks comic-strip serial "Alyas Palos." Actor Bernard Bonnin played the character in all eight films, starting with Alyas Palos in 1961.
