All-Star Ensemble, Acclaimed Filmmakers Power MQuest Ventures’ 'Manila’s Finest'

MQuest Ventures brings yet another notable cinema masterpiece to the Metro Manila Film Festival with the much-anticipated action-drama Manila’s Finest. Headlined by Piolo Pascual and an ensemble cast of the finest Philippine actors today, the film promises a bold fusion of powerhouse performances, stunning cinematography, and a story that immerses viewers in the gritty yet vibrant streets of Manila.

Manila’s Finest marks Piolo Pascual’s third consecutive MMFF lead role, a milestone that reflects his passion for meaningful Filipino stories. “To be part of the MMFF for three years in a row is truly special,” he shared. “To also work with a cast and team of this caliber is an honor. The chemistry on set was incredible, everyone was driven by the same passion to create something that feels big, bold, and deeply Filipino.”

For Enrique Gil, Manila’s Finest marks his first film under his multi-picture deal with MQuest Ventures. “Being part of Manila’s Finest as my first film project under MQuest Ventures is really special. The whole experience — from the costumes to the set design — felt like stepping into another time. Everyone on set was so passionate about bringing that era to life, and it made me appreciate how meaningful this project is,” he shared. He added that working alongside Piolo Pascual was what he considers an early Christmas gift. “Billy looks up to Capt. Homer like an older brother, and I think that mirrors how I see Piolo in real life. I’ve always dreamed of working with him,” Enrique said.

Set in the late 1960s, Manila’s Finest follows Capt. Homer Magtibay (Piolo Pascual), a principled officer of the Manila Police Department, as he investigates a string of brutal murders in the city’s rapidly expanding slums. With his trusted partner, 1st Lt. Billy Ojeda (Enrique Gil), and their station chief, Major Conrado Belarmino (Ariel Rivera), Magtibay traces the killings to a violent turf war between two rival gangs entangled in illegal gambling, theft, and prostitution. But as he digs deeper, he uncovers a darker truth: powerful businessmen, corrupt politicians, and even the police are all playing a part in the unstoppable decay of the city.

Joining Piolo, Enrique, and Ariel are some of the industry’s esteemed actors: Romnick Sarmenta, Joey Marquez, Soliman Cruz, Cedrick Juan, Jasmine Curtis-Smith, Rico Blanco, Kiko Estrada, and Rica Peralejo-Bonifacio in her much-awaited acting big-screen return. The film also stars new gen actors Ashtine Olviga (as Magtibay’s daughter), Ethan David, Dylan Menor, Paulo Angeles, Inday Fatima, and Pearl Gonzales.

Under the direction of Raymond Red, the first Filipino filmmaker to win Palme d'Or for Best Short Film at the Cannes Film Festival, Manila’s Finest unites an extraordinary creative team whose artistry is redefining the modern Filipino epic. The screenplay is written by notable Filipino screenwriters Michiko Yamamoto, Moira Lang, and Sherad Anthony Sanchez. “What makes Manila’s Finest special is the collaboration. You have some of the best actors and storytellers of this generation coming together — everyone brought something distinct to the table,” Red said. “The challenge was to channel all that energy into one cohesive vision, and that’s what makes the film feel so alive.”

Produced by MQuest Ventures and Cignal TV, Manila’s Finest follows the legacy established by award-winning MMFF entries Gomburza and The Kingdom. The movie evokes heartfelt storytelling to create a period film that is both thrilling and immersive. With the collective brilliance of its cast and filmmakers, Manila’s Finest stands out as one of this year’s most anticipated and talked-about festival entries.

Catch the thrilling story of Manila’s Finest — in cinemas nationwide starting December 25, 2025, at the Metro Manila Film Festival.

A Red Flag

Friends of Showbiz Scion (SS) are worried that she might be ending with a broken heart again. Though SS is of age, they are concerned with the new man in her life. Allegedly, New Man (NM) is a married man.

Like her family members, SS has much talent and artistry. However, SS opted for a life with fewer eyes watching her every move. During her birth, speculations on the identity of her father occupied the public. After some time, Dashing Man (DM) broke his silence. DM manned up and took responsibility. Unfortunately, DM ended up marrying another woman, not the mother of SS. DM has several kids with several women but he recognized and supported each one. Now, all his kids are achievers in diverse fields. All are getting along well, which makes DM prouder as other men in the same predicament must deal with jealousy and competition among the mothers of their children.

When SS got married, DM and the entire clan were in attendance. The siblings and their families were supportive in witnessing SS tie the knot. All only wanted to the best for SS to end with her forever, like them. Fast forward to a little less than a decade later, and everyone was shocked to find out that the marriage of SS was over. SS, nonetheless, did not hide the outcome.

Now, rumors have it that NM is from a recent broken marriage as well. If he and SS found love in each other, then so be it. Love could be lovelier the second time around.
