He shared behind-the-scenes snaps from the film and reminisced on his experience.

Mon wrote, “It’s like you’ve abandoned your body. Lost 40 lbs, shaved hairline and pate, body slouch posture for 3 weeks, deeper voice speaking for 3 weeks, slept in the Diplomat Hotel ruins in the entire shooting."

 

The veteran actor returns to the big screen as he reprises his depiction of Emilio Aguinaldo in Goyo: Ang Batang Heneral.
