THE CAST of Regal Entertainment’s ‘Walwal’
Regal Entertainment Inc. is coming out soon with “Walwal” starring Elmo Magalona, Jerome Ponce, Kiko Estrada and Donny Pangilinan.
Directed by Jose Javier Reyes, the movie is reminiscent of classic Filipino barkada movies, only this time, it represents the relationships and sensibilities of the current generation.
“Walwal” is a colloquial word among Pinoy millennials. The term is believed to have been derived from the phrase “walang pakialam” and its closest English translation is “to get wasted” from drinking too much alcohol.
Elmo plays Dondi, a good son who lived life pleasing the people around him. Jerome is Intoy in the movie – a young athlete aspiring to discover the real identity of his biological father.
Direk Joey returns to Regal after he helmed “Our Mighty Yaya” in 2017. “Walwal” could be considered as the millennial counterpart of his 1994 youth-oriented movie, “Pare Ko.”
“Walwal” opens in cinemas on June 27.
