Magwo-work uli sa Pasko dahil sa ‘MMFF’: PIOLO, tatanggalin ang pagka-fan kay VIC na first time makakasama sa movie

MAY entry uli ang premyadong aktor na si Piolo Pascual sa MMFF 2024, ang “The Kingdom” kung saan makakasama niya sina Vic Sotto, Cristine Reyes, Sue Ramirez at Sid Lucero.

Ang epic drama film ay mula sa direksyon ni Michael Tuviera under APT Entertainment.

Ayon sa naging pahayag ni Papa P, “We’re part again of the MMFF (Metro Manila Film Festival), MIFF (Manila International Film Festival). And MMFF is celebrating its 50th year so to be part of that, you’re a clear representation of the industry, so I want to be part of that.”

Last year, isa sa naging blockbuster MMFF entry ang “Mallari na pinanbidahan ni Piolo na kung saan tinanghal siyang best actor.

Kaya naman looking forward siya na maging bahagi ng mga makabuluhang pelikula na hindi lang sa bansa tatangilikin kundi pati na rin sa iba’t ibang panig ng mundo.

“With MIFF, I hope that there are more projects or more films that we can showcase to the world to really just empower us, to have something that we can be proud of as Filipinos,” sey ng aktor.
First time na makakasama ni Papa P si Bossing Vic sa movie at nagkataon na pasok pa sa MMFF ngayong December.

Ayon pa sa panayam sa aktor, “I grew up kasi watching him and for me to be acting alongside with a cinematic icon, kailangan kong tanggalin ang pagka-fan ko so I have to deal with it and cross the bridge when I’m already there because we have a lot of scenes together.

“When (Michael Tuviera) pitched this concept to Bossing he said yes right away. When he pitched it to me a couple of days later, I said yes.

“Within weeks we were doing pre-production, so it just fell into place. I mean, we’re both busy but if there is a project that you can work on and make things happen to make it happen, it will happen.

Pag-amin pa niya, “I thought hindi ako magpi-filmfest this year because I did so much last year pero nung pumasok, okay trabaho tayo sa Pasko.”
