This Sunday, April 19, 'FPJ sa GMA' presents the 1976 action-drama film 'Bato sa Buhangin', starring the King of Philippine Movies Fernando Poe Jr. and Star For All Seasons Vilma Santos.

GMA Network proudly reaffirms its commitment to preserving Philippine film heritage by bringing Filipino viewers closer to the enduring legacy of "The King of Philippine Movies" through FPJ sa GMA.

This Sunday, April 19, FPJ sa GMA showcases another classic Filipino film, Bato sa Buhangin, headlined by screen legends—Fernando Poe Jr. and the Star for All Seasons, Vilma Santos.

The movie follows Bamba, a spoiled woman who falls in love with Rafael, a poor taxi driver. Unbeknownst to him, Bamba is hiding a deep secret that could change everything.

Directed by Pablo Santiago, Bato sa Buhangin also stars Dencio Padilla, Robert Talabis, among others.

Watch Bato sa Buhangin in FPJ sa GMA this Sunday, April 19, 3:15 p.m., after Resibo on GMA.

The return of FPJ sa GMA is made possible through the historic partnership of GMA and FPJ Productions, Inc., the studio responsible for restoring the screen icon's classic films.

The special programming aims to bring Da King's legendary movies back to television, rekindling the magic of his cinematic masterpieces. It also serves as a memorable and nostalgic experience for both longtime fans and younger audiences, who may be discovering the works of the National Artist For Film, who starred in hundreds of films, for the first time.
