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, May 10, on Mother's Day, FPJ sa GMA showcases another classic Filipino film, No Retreat, No Surrender si Kumander, headlined by screen legends and real-life partners Fernando Poe Jr. and Susan Roces. It is the 1987 action-comedy sequel to Manedyer... si Kumander (1982).
No Retreat, No Surrender si Kumander continues the adventures and misadventures centered around Poe Jr.'s character, Gener, a mechanic and auto shop owner. As in the previous installment, the narrative includes the comedic tension arising from the jealous reactions of his wife Benita, played by Roces, particularly when his interactions with younger women draw her more-than-casual attention.
This movie delivers a mix of action and humor as the couple navigates the challenges of their lives, with the wife famously embodying a "No retreat, no surrender" attitude when it comes to her husband's fidelity and their relationship.
Directed by Pablo Santiago, No Retreat, No Surrender si Kumander also stars Sheryl Cruz, Randy Santiago, Chichay, Mely Tagasa, Bayani Casimiro, Tina Loy, and others.
Watch No Retreat, No Surrender si Kumander in FPJ sa GMA this Sunday, May 10, 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.
