Kids of past generation grew up loving puppet characters Kiko Matsing and Pong Pagong in their
favorite TV show, Batibot. It’s long overdue to bring back artistic and value-centered puppeteering
show for today’s generation.

Gonzales’ goal is to “bring values to children” that are bombarded with poor-quality shows that has
no Filipino values especially in the digital era now that everything is easily accessible through their
mobile phones.

A Solid Partnership
The owner of Lakbay Museo is Lawrence Li Tan, the Executive Vice President of JCI Makati which
happens to be a chapter organization where Gonzales was their 2018 President-Elect. He proposed
this puppeteering concept to Tan, thus he was provided with the platform in Lakbay Museo.

After two weeks of their first meeting, the VoiceMaster conceptualized and directed the show under
CreatiVoices Productions, his own company. He even wrote songs for Barangay Lakbay.
