Vic Sotto a fan over ‘The Kingdom’ co-star Piolo Pascual
By Cynthia Montojo
“I heard about this guy before na magaling daw na artista ganyan, ganyan…napatunayan ko na he is seriously good actor,” veteran actor Vic Sotto admitted he became fan of Piolo Pascual while doing their 2024 Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) entry “The Kingdom.”
During press conference of their film, Vic complimented matinee idol with whom he will co-star for first time in MMFF entry.
“As a matter of fact, in one of the sequences together, medyo pinapanood ko siya, nag-fanboy mode ako…totoo ‘yon,” he added.
Vic also said Piolo is not just good actor but good person.
“Pinapanood ko lang siya, sabi ko ‘ang galing…ang haba ng dialog pero ‘di siya nagkakamali…ako, kapraso lang buma-buckle pa e,..not just good actor, he is good person, in and out, ” he said.
Directed by Mike Tuviera and produced by MQuest Ventures Inc., M-ZET TV Productions, and APT Entertainment Inc., film tells intense family drama set against backdrop of fictional Kingdom of Kalayaan, realm filled with tradition, secrets, and a fierce struggle for the throne.
At the heart of the story is Lakan Makisig, portrayed by Vic, ruler wrestling with his own legacy while his kingdom faces upheaval. As tensions rise within royal family, Vic’s portrayal of aging monarch reveals man caught between tradition and hope for better future.
Joining him is Piolo Pascual as Sulo, outcast farmer shunned by society but becomes unlikely hero in kingdom’s quest for change.
Film’s powerful ensemble includes Cristine Reyes and Sue Ramirez as strong-willed princesses Dayang Matimyas and Dayang Lualhati, respectively, alongside Sid Lucero as their brother Magat Bagwis, whose struggle with expectations ignites tensions within family.
Ruby Ruiz takes on the role of Babaylan, kingdom’s spiritual priestess, while Cedrick Juan plays young Lakan in flashbacks that unveil history of royal family. Zion Cruz stars as Lakan Makisig’s grandson, bringing another layer of complexity to family saga.
Other notable cast members include Iza Calzado, Art Acuña, Giovanni Baldisseri, and Nico Antonio.
