In various media interviews, actor Jericho Rosales has hinted that he is currently in the process of developing an indie film with a working title of 'Alagwa'. The film is reportedly about human trafficking. It's said to be inspired by an urban legend about children being abducted around Metro Manila.
Besides Jericho Rosales, the movie will also star Bugoy Carino and Garry Lim. It's going to be directed by Ian Lorenos. 'Alagwa' will be Lorenos' second feature film after 2010's 'The Leaving'.
Pacquiao: The Movie - a previous film starring Rosales.
“Itong 'Alagwa' will be my first independent film na local. Matagal-tagal na kong gustong gumawa ng indie film. Itong 'Alagwa' ay isang script tungkol sa human trafficking. And nung binasa ko yung script, talagang tumagos talaga sa puso ko. Talagang hindi ako napakali. Sabi ko talagang gusto kong gawin ito.” said Rosales.
