EXPECT the unexpected happens in “Batang Paco” — and Ai Ai Delas Alas is right smack at the center.
Set to open in cinemas this February, “Batang Paco” is a comedy for the whole family that stars Empoy Marquez.
But sharp-eyed viewers will quickly realize that Ai Ai’s presence signals something more than comic relief.
Her key role is one of the film’s emotional turning points.
Known for her impeccable timing, depth, and instinct for heartfelt storytelling, Ai Ai brings a quiet weight to “Batang Paco” — the kind that lingers long after the laughter fades.
Produced by MiVida Productions, Inc. with former actress turned businesswoman Ana Abiera Del Moral at the helm, the film blends action, humor, and emotion into a family-friendly story about courage born from love.
“May mga karakter na hindi kailangang mag-ingay para maramdaman,” shares Ana. “Si Ai Ai yun sa pelikulang ito.”
Set against the colorful chaos of Manila, “Batang Paco” follows Paco, a timid tattoo artist forced into an extraordinary situation when his child is kidnapped — pushing him to become the hero he never imagined himself to be.
Along the way, a handful of characters shape his journey, and one of them carries a significant weight audiences won’t soon forget.
Directed by Rechie del Carmen and written by Gina Marissa Tagasa, “Batang Paco” marks MiVida Productions’ maiden theatrical release — and hints at the kind of bold, emotionally grounded stories the company plans to tell.
One thing is certain: when Ai Ai Delas Alas appears in “Batang Paco,” the story takes a most delightfully surprising turn.
“Batang Paco” opens in maisntream cinemas nationwide starting February 18.
