MANILA, Philippines - Praybeyt Benjamin is the first-ever Filipino film to surpass the P300M mark at the box-office, making it the highest grossing local movie of all time. Now available on video, the successful Wenn Deramas film, with no less than Vice Ganda on the title role, is a wonderful addition to your movie collections.
Benjie (Vice Ganda) comes from a clan of valorous soldiers who fought in historic battles. His grandfather, Benjamin Santos VIII (Eddie Garcia), is now a high-ranking general in the military. Benjie is also brave. Problem is, he is gay, which makes him unacceptable to his grandfather. But when the country is put under civil war after Gen. Santos and other key military officers are kidnapped by terrorists, Benjie volunteers in the military. With the help of unlikely troop of misfits, he contends with the perpetrators, using unique and unbelievable fighting techniques — not realizing that he could also be continuing the family’s tradition of valor after all.
