MANILA, Philippines - Many Filipinos honor him as one of our country’s modern-day heroes. He is known as the father of President Noynoy Aquino and Kris Aquino. He is immortalized in the P500 bill. But who really is the man behind these larger-than-life images?

This is the first time Piolo will host a documentary. In an interview with TV Patrol, he revealed that he has always wanted to become a journalist like Ninoy thus, the project is a dream come true to him.

“It has always been my desire to be a news anchor. It is such a big honor for me to narrate such a wonderful story. I hope another opportunity like this would arise in the future,” said Piolo.
