Check out the real drama and behind the scenes of ABS-CBN Film Productions Inc. (Star Cinema) and Viva Films’ “The Unkabogable: Praybeyt Benjamin“, still showing on it’s 2nd Week.
Vice plays the role of Benjamin Santos whose family has a long tradition of serving in the military. In fact, the movie’s stunning opening traces the roots of the Santos’ military service, from the dlays of Lapu-Lapu and the Katipunan, up to the current times.
Conflict ensues when Lolo Benjamin (Eddie Garcia) finds out that his apo (Vice) cannot continue the tradition because he is gay.
But when Lolo Benjamin is captured by terrorists, the grandson enters the military and musters all his masculine strength to save his dear grandfather, and the rest of the war-torn country as well.
Helping Praybeyt Benjamin in his quest are the members of a misfit platoon (played by, among others, Derek Ramsey, DJ Durano, Vandolph Quizon, Jimmy Santos, Eddie Garcia, Dennis Padilla, Carlos Agassi, Malou de Guzman, Tutti Caringal, Kean Cipriano ang Nikki Valdez).
“Praybeyt Benjamin” marks the return of Vice’s collaboration with blockbuster director Wenn Deramas, who helmed the highly successful Vice Ganda-starrer “Petrang Kabayo.”
