MANILA, Philippines — Elijah Canlas, Emilio Daez, and JM Ibarra headline Regal Entertainment’s upcoming comedy-drama One For The Road, a barkada road-trip film directed by acclaimed filmmaker Kip Oebanda.
Three of the most promising and capable actors of their generation, Canlas, Daez, and Ibarra bring their own distinct personalities and acting strengths to the film, portraying three friends whose lives are changed by an unexpected journey together.
One For The Road follows four friends who escape the pressures of their working-class lives and embark on a road trip filled with hilarious adventures, unexpected conflicts, and unforgettable moments. Beneath the comedy is a touching story about friendship, grief, mental health, and the challenges of growing into adulthood.
JM Ibarra plays Garry, a fun-loving barista who often uses humor to hide his frustrations. Elijah Canlas portrays Ariel, a rising actor trapped in a showbiz love team who sees the road trip as a chance to experience freedom away from the spotlight. Emilio Daez takes on the role of Luke, an academic achiever and bank employee who struggles to deal with emotions he cannot simply solve through logic. The fourth member of the barkada, Jomar, has yet to be cast.
Oebanda, known for Bar Boys, Balota, and Liway, co-wrote the screenplay with Victor Villanueva, writer of Patay na si Hesus.
More than a road-trip comedy, One For The Road celebrates the friendships that become family—and the people who stay with us through life’s mistakes, struggles, and unexpected turns.
