Press Release
Filipinos are noted to have a very
significant and positive attitude in handling difficulties in life. Others may
also treat their predicaments in sort of “cool” manners, which the Pinoys are
really known for. M&N Films have come up with a brilliant idea of
ideally showing to the public the film “Bayani Ang Tatay Ko.” An indie film
about life, its struggles... it’s about presenting life’s most vivid moments
with the people we love. This film not only wishes to instill family values but
also provide entertainment and at the same time honors the law enforcers.
Actor-comedian and host Bayani
Agbayani plays SPO3 Nicanor Corpuz , a decorated cop, loving dad and husband to
his wife Susan played by Yayo Aguila, and son, Adrian played by child actor
Yogo Singh. They live a simple, happy life until an incident took their lives
on a different turn. One morning while in the police detachment where he is
working, Taning played by Rommel Montano, a toughie from an influential family
came looking for his colleague, SPO1 Joey Ponce. Ponce apparently shut down his
illegal “videokarera” business and refused to accept a bribe, making the latter
furious. Taning was scandalizing the station so he took a policewoman, SPO2
Pinky Madrigal hostage prompting Nick to defend his colleague.
Nick was suspended from service and
he turned to selling “isaw” to make ends meet. Failing to do so, his wife Susan
decided to go to Hongkong to work as a domestic helper. To help him in his
business, Susan sent his brother, Ading played by Gene Padilla to help Nick
tend to the isaw business. But the former cop realized that he is not cut for
business, so he asked for his ninong, Col. Roberto Ugarte to give him an
assignment. Colonel Ugarte referred him to the city hall where he worked as a
traffic enforcer. As a traffic enforcer, Nick has learned to be happy with his
new job because he wears a uniform and arrests violators. It was at this time
when he was informed that his colleague, Ponce has remained missing since the
precinct incident; SPO1 Fernandez had been looking for him. Worse, his wife
Susan called to tell him she was victimized by an illegal recruiter.
All these tribulations that had
happened to Nick and his family occurred very untimely. Witness how will a
typical Filipino family face these challenges in a comedic and a bit of
dramatic way with a sting of action to highlight the story.
Joining the lead stars are
actor/model and ex-PBB housemate, Johann Santos, Ms. Jet Claveria, Butch
Elizalde, Pinoy T.A.L.K. host Paul Quimbo, Ms. Jing Javier and Paulo Ponce and
is under the helm of Ellen Argano. “Bayani...Ang Tatay Ko...” is one of
the official entries to the 2nd PNP Film Festival and subsequently,
the awarding will take place at the Philippine International Convention Center
(PICC) on August 7, 2012.
Being a policeman is indeed a
heroic profession; it is both a difficult and extensive task enabling
continuous protection of the public and their property as well as maintaining
law and order. Preventing crime, reducing its fear and ensuring the improvement
of every citizen’s quality of life are no way an easy job. So let us all salute
the gentle officers... the all-time “bayani” of every community.
“Bayani...Ang Tatay Ko...” will have its premiere
showing on August 5, 2012, Sunday at SM North Edsa Cinema 5, 5:00- 6:30 PM.
