YORME: The Isko Domagoso Story will be available for viewing in cinemas starting December 1, before the campaign period for the 2022 national election begins.
On November 2, Saranggola Media Productions released the official poster for the film.
Directed by Joven Tan, the movie will be produced by Saranggola Media Productions and distributed by VIVA Films.
The release date of the movie does not coincide with the official start of the campaign period for national candidates.
In the biopic, Xian Lim will portray the present-day Isko Moreno. While Raikko Mateo will play the character of young Isko, and McCoy de Leon will breathe into the life of Isko in his teenage years.
The film highlights the story of Isko Moreno from poverty, to him entering the showbiz industry and until his life as a public servant.
Tan already established earlier that the movie is not a campaign for the upcoming national elections, and Moreno has nothing to do with the project.
This tactic is not new in terms of politics in the country. The same move was utilized in the preceding elections.
In 2019, General Ronald dela Rosa ran for senatorial post and a biographical action film was released featuring his life.
The movie titled Bato: The General Ronald dela Rosa Story was directed by Adolfo Alix Jr., and Robin Padilla portrayed the character of dela Rosa.
In 2000, a movie about the life of director-general Panfilo ‘Ping’ Lacson titled Ping Lacson: Super Cop was also released, and Toto Natividad directed the biopic, which follows the story of the general as handling controversial cases in the country.
