Kidlat (transl. Lightning) is a 2013 weekly Philippine television drama that broadcast on TV5, which was aired from January 7 to May 3, 2013, replacing Enchanted Garden and was replaced by Cassandra: Warrior Angel. It stars Derek Ramsay and Gene Castro.[1][2][3][4][5]
Voltaire was the son of the couple Dulce and Mario. At a young age, he and his mother were assailed by a "perfect storm" where lightning 'struck' Voltaire, but left him unharmed. He discovered he had power afterwards but he kept it from his mother. As he grew, he felt alone because of his secret, but everything changed when he met Lara.
Follow the life of Voltaire, an ordinary person, who acquired a strange power after being hit by lightning from the "perfect storm". Witness the journey of Voltaire as he learns to control and use his power to protect his family and his community from dangerous opponents. Derek Ramsay stars in this thrilling saga of love and resurrection as Kidlat.
After an issue with defending against basher of his former girlfriend, Andrea Torres who allegedly called by a basher "Retokada",[6] the series saw a rejuvenated interest in Philippine meme culture spawning from a Facebook meme page, "Sorsogon Luxury Hotel", which posted a series of meme revolving around the character, which made "Wag kang bastos" synonymous with Derek within the community.
On December 17, 2012, TV5 unveils its Kidlat billboard on EDSA, but it caused heavy traffic at EDSA, due to Derek's appearance as Kidlat costume.[7] On January 6, 2013, before Kidlat aired on primetime, TV5 previewed the series by airing its telemovie.
