00:00It was very challenging very very challenging. I had to rehearse my lines
00:04Oh, I'm a big fan of bossing growing up. You know, I'm like, wow. Hi guys. I am piolo
00:10I played the role of slow in our film the kingdom
00:15Hi, I'm big Soto. I'm Laquan McKissick of the kingdom
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
04:24with the people
04:26the whole nation and
04:28People like
04:30Yeah, you know Tommy's outcast and
04:35He plays a role. Yeah, it's like
04:38two stories
04:41Happening at the same time. It's like going up the mountain
04:47And then we meet that's a climax of the film
04:58You
