John Manalo, Neil Coleta, and Nathan Lopez Portray Gay Men Held Hostage by Rebels in ‘MMK’
“MMK” shows a different story of bravery and hope this Sunday (Sep 19) as it depicts the ordeal faced by three gay friends who were abducted by rebels.
Momar (Neil Coleta), Ramram (John Manalo) and Jupiter (Nathan Lopez) met at a city state college and became good friends since then. They stuck with each other through ups and downs, and would share with each other their problems and would even party together in night clubs.
Their friendship was full of color and life until one day, they were held hostage by the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF). They went through the toughest test of their lives as they could lose their lives any minute. They also witnessed other hostages die in front of them and even became part of a human barricade against the military.
Despite these, they remained strong and would even make things lighter for everyone by cracking jokes. How were they able to survive this situation? How did this experience change them?
Joining this “MMK” episode are Junjun Quintana, Patrick Sugui, Lemuel Pelayo, Alcris Galura, Almira Muhlach, Joe Vargas, and Alan Paule. The episode is directed by Dondon Santos and written by Benson Logronio. “MMK” is led by business unit head Malou Santos.
