What will you do if you place 5 different people, with 5 different personalities, in one rock band? It will surely be one heck of a ride.
"Rakista" is just one of the shows of TV5. It is currently shown every Thursday night at 7:00 P.M. and replays during Sundays at 1:00 in the afternoon. The show's all about college students who decided to form a rock band with their own purposes.
The cast, led by Carlo Aquino as Caloy, really makes a perfect combination for this kind of show. Caloy, together with Ted (played by Charles Christianson), co-founded their band, "The Love Team". Ted is the also the band's manager. His real intention is to be famous in order to meet lots of girls.
On the way, they met Nix (played by Alcris Galura), which really looked familiar since he joined the reality show "Coca-Cola Ride to Fame" in GMA, the brother of Glaisa de Castro, and appeared to some shows in TV. He is the most talented musician in the band and their lead guitarist. Due to misunderstandings, he had to live a lot of bands. Later on we'll know if he will do the same in "The Love Team".

They also met Bebe (played by Rhea Nakpil), who was a product of "Starstruck" of GMA. She's the bassist of the band and doesn't admit that she's an EMO. She and Nix became enemies, and later on, became lovers... and then ex-lovers. She also once a member of the Secosana Gang.
And lastly, Sven (played by Wincy Ong), the band's drummer. The maybe is the most energetic and comedic member, and even has a taste in art. He later on had a girlfriend named Rose Mary Jane.
Other cast members are Denise Laurel, who plays CC, Caloy's bestfriend. Caloy is secretly inloved with her and let's his songs do the talking. Marco Morales as Sonny, CC's boyfriend and member of the swimming team. He also ran for Student Council President, and eventually won. Earl Igancio as Caloy's elder brother who was once a member of a band. Other characters are "The Secosana Gang", "The Table Tennis Club", "Cubao Expo group", "The Hate Team", and a lot more.
Some famous rock bands also made some appearences in the show like Spongecola and Eraserheads. The show is narrated by Radioactive Sago Project's vocalist Lourd De Veyra. Rakista was created by Quark Henares and Diego Castillo of Sandwhich.
Note: TV5 had just shown the seems to be last episode of Rakista last November 6, 2008. I just hope it wouldn't be the last. I hope.
