"When he finds her, he learns that she has been a victim of a curse given by a ruler of Eastern Kasamaan.""As he embarks on a journey to find a cure, he learns so much more than what he originally set out to discover. That he is no ordinary human, and that he may be the prophesied 'chosen one' who will save the entire town from the rising evil that threatens it," the synopsis read.Viva added, “The modern twist aims to revitalize the dated imagery of the superhero for a new generation of Filipinos."Pedro Penduko has already been portrayed by four other actors.
