BINYAG


Binyag is a story about a rural man named Leo (Ran Domingo) who grew up with a love for the ocean. As a child, he witnessed an eye-opening moment near the shoreline that changes his life's perspective. But events in the movie unravel upon the arrival of Lester (Paolo Rivero), a faux talent manager. Lester lures the now grown-up, Leo to Manila with promises of fame and money. In no time, Lester's true colors emerge and he abandons Leo to fend for himself in the unforgiving city. 

The provincial boy makes ends meet by selling his body in exchange for sexual flavors and grows jaded after all the harsh realities he has experienced. It took one unlikely encounter with an old gay man to turn his life around. In the end, Leo makes a decision to return to the province and reclaim his simple life.

Aside from Ran, Binyag also stars Paolo Rivero (a gay talent manager), Kenjie Garcia (a city dweller), Simon Ibarra (a fisherman), Lou Veloso (an aging homsexual) and Ynez Veneracion (a childhood friend of Leo).

Written and directed by Miko Jacinto, Binyag  screened in select Metro Manila theaters last October 8. This film produced by Greenlight Entertainment will be screened at Robinsons Galleria, Robinsons Ermita, Grand Central, Isetann, and Remar.
