Coco Martin, the Philippines’ ‘Pambansang Idol’ will be starring in perhaps one of his most challenging film roles yet as APOLLO “Pol” BALBON at the movie “Tripol Trobol, Huli Ka Balbon”.
Martin co-stars with Comedy Queen Ai Ai delas Alas, Jennylyn Mercado, Edu Manzano, Sam Milby, along with a stellar cast and lots of surprise cameos in store for moviegoers starting December 26 in the UAE!
Here’s a quick synopsis of the film:
APOLLO “Pol” BALBON (Coco Martin) is a loving son to single mother MARY (Ai Ai delas Alas) and is working as a bodyguard for the Executive Director of National Defense Agency. After discovering an anomaly in his agency, the Executive Director is ambushed but he manages to pass on what he knows to Pol before he dies.
But before Pol could report to the authorities, he becomes the primary suspect in killing his former boss.
The real killer, SENATOR SIMON (Edu Manzano) pins the blame on Pol and comes up with fabricated evidence against him.
While on the loose, Pol knows he has to find out who really killed his boss, while protecting his boss’ daughter, TRINA (Jennylyn Mercado).
Pol attempts to go near Trina but Simon’s son, ANDREW (Sam Milby), is always with Trina, making it harder for Pol to talk to her.
Because Pol can’t go near Trina to tell her what he knows, he has to disguise as a girl and introduces himself as PALOMA, Trina’s sister from another mother.
As Paloma, Pol is able to live with Trina and do things with her, giving her enough time and chance to help solve their “father’s” death.
But what would happen when Trina finds out that the sister she thought she has, is actually the suspect in killing her father?
Tripol Trobol is directed by Coco Martin himself, who goes by his real name – Rodel Nacianceno in the credits.
The movie is also an official entry to the Metro Manila Film Festival 2019.
Tripol Trobol begins screening in UAE Cinemas this December 26.
