WATCH: First trailer for ‘Goyo: Ang Batang Heneral’ is out

MANILA, Philippines – Goyo: Ang Batang Heneral won’t be on the big screen until 2018, but TBA has released the first teaser for its second film by Jerrold Tarog.

In the 40 seconds trailer, we see a sword stuck on the ground as a woman’s voice uttered the words: “Tinanghal kang pinakamatapang, makabayan, at tampok sa mga bayaning kilala. Ngunit kung nais mong mahalin kita, hayaan mo akong mahalin ang isang lalaki na mayayakap ko. Hindi isang bayani na nasa ibabaw ng mga ulap. Gusto ko sumandal sa bisig ng isang lalaki na alam ang kanyang hangganan, pagka’t natupad na niya ang kanyang tungkulin sa bayan.”

(You are hailed as the bravest, most patriotic, and most heroic of all heroes. But if you want me to love you, let me love a man who I can embrace. Not a hero above the clouds. I wish to lie in the arms of a man who knows his limits for he has fulfilled his duties to his country.)

As narrator continued we see a young man in uniform, walking to pick up the sword and overlooking the valley. He turns around and we see no less than general Gregorio “Goyong” del Pilar (Paulo Avelino).

Goyong: Ang Batang Heneral is the sequel to Jerrold’s movie hit Heneral Luna which was released in 2015. – Rappler.com
