“Alam mo ‘yung tumingin ka sa paligid mo, na may kaya akong gawin sa level na hindi kaya ng iba, ‘yun ang gaming para sa akin (You know when you look around and realize no else can do what you can? That’s what gaming is to me.),” Pangilinan’s character intones in the two-minute trailer.
Apart from Pangilinan, his mother Maricel Laxa, veteran actor Baron Geisler, Iggy Boy Flores, Johannes Isler and Gold Aceron will be in the film. The movie will also feature the late Ronaldo Valdez. This is Pangilinan’s first time to appear in a movie with his real-life mom.
