00:31It's a different movie

00:34It is one film that I don't think we've ever seen before. It's

00:42Extraordinary, it's an out-of-the-box

00:46Concept which makes it very special

00:49yeah, and

00:51for me, it's a

00:53Imagination of the Philippines if you can't picture the Philippines in a different

01:00Kind of government. This would be it. So and the story will revolve around the situation

01:07First family, it's a visual delight

01:10the set the production design

01:13The costumes the locations. It's it's it's something you have to see in a cinema. There's so much anticipation

01:21I haven't seen the finished product yet, but there's so much anticipation because everyone really worked hard to make it work

01:27So just like what washing said, it's something out of the box something different something definitely I haven't done

01:32You know my career as our director Mike Tavira puts it

01:38He calls it an alternative reality, yeah

01:43I

01:47Had to prepare a lot I

01:49Had to sit down with my director

01:52So many times we talk about the character the characterization because this is something new to me

01:59What is a what is a king like we're not familiar with that kind of character. How does he act?

02:05How does he how does he stand?

02:08alone posturing

02:10And all that stuff I really had to sit down with the director and

02:15So I will understand the character

02:18It's very challenging. Very very challenging

02:21I had to rehearse my lines one week before the scheduled shoot because the lines are

02:28As Piola mentioned earlier malalim Filipino Matalinaga

02:34Baga, um, I enjoyed training

02:37For martial arts because we had some action scenes and we're gonna showcase Pinoy martial arts here

02:43so aside from

02:45the training that I had to do for farming and to look the part it's

02:51It's he's kind of easy to understand

02:53so I just had to really read the script and

02:56Make sure that I understood the message of my director and the message of the character

03:03Ah

03:07I'm a big fan of bossing growing up. You know, I'm like, wow, it was really a dream come true for me

03:14You know doing the scenes with him

03:15I'm like, I was in awe because I love me pin up another ending cake

03:19Sena was like wow

03:20It was a treat for me and also with the whole cast and how passionate our director was whenever he would tell us the scene

03:27What the scene is about it's a it's a very solid concept

03:31So working on the film in the set

03:34Everyone just really worked hard just to make sure that we didn't leave any stones and turned knowing that this is an epic drama

03:41so

03:43Definitely everyone just really delivered, you know, and it's not the usual

03:49Conversation you will have so we really had to be careful with how we would deliver the lines. So it was an exercise

04:01The

04:05Whole of the Philippines, it's further for the country

04:08It's for us to realize the choices that we have and the what-ifs of our life

04:14for the whole family

04:16because it's

04:17It's also a family drama

04:20the king's relationship with

04:23children
