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.
