The cameras have officially started rolling for Beyond the Call of Duty, a star-studded action-drama film that pays tribute to the bravery, sacrifice, and heart of the country’s public servants. With the support of the Philippine National Police (PNP) and other key government agencies, this timely and emotionally charged project aims to bring real-life heroism to the big screen.

A story conference was recently held at Camp Crame, gathering the film’s lead stars, production team, and partners from the PNP, Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP), Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG), Philippine Safety College, and LCS Group headed by Gov. Luis Chavit Singson. Members of the media, including CinemaBravo, were also in attendance during the event that marked the film’s official launch.

“Sobrang fresh nito sa akin na I’m playing a very honorable role: isang pulis, bayani ng ating bayan. So, napaka-happy and proud [ko] na napili akong maging parte ng movie na ito,” shared Martin Del Rosario, who is one of the film’s lead stars.

(This is such a fresh experience for me because I’m playing a very honorable role—a policeman, a hero of our nation. So, I’m really happy and proud to have been chosen to be part of this movie.)

“I was really excited po na gawin [ang pelikulang ito] because my character will represent one of the heroes who will defend our country,” Devon Seron said when asked about accepting her role.

Rooted in true stories and inspired by actual events, Beyond the Call of Duty explores the lives of public servants who go above and beyond their roles — often in silence and without recognition. It highlights acts of courage, integrity, and community service, offering viewers a glimpse into the human side of those who protect and serve.

The film is directed by Jose Olinares Jr. with co-director Billy Ray Oyanib and screenplay by Eldrin Veloso. Leading the powerhouse cast are Martin del Rosario, Paolo Gumabao, Maxine Trinidad, Christian Singson, Devon Seron, Martin Escudero, Migs Almendras, Simon Ibarra, Mark Neumann, Teejay Marquez, Alex Medina, and Jeffrey Santos.

They are joined by Ramon Christopher, Dindo Arroyo, Bella Thompson, Rob Sy, Valerie Concepcion, Lovely Rivero, Sharmaine Santiago, Isaac Sabaw, Sahil Khan, and Prince Dajuma, with the special participation of Gen. Romeo Magsalos.

The film is produced by Pinoyflix Films, in collaboration with various government agencies and spearheaded by executive producers Gov. Luis Chavit Singson, Cong. Richelle Singson, and Stephanie Singson.

Beyond the Call of Duty will be released in theaters nationwide this 2025, with a global rollout via Netflix also in the works to reach overseas Filipino audiences. The production team is also preparing special screenings and school tours to bring the film closer to local communities and spark meaningful conversations around service and civic responsibility.

Proceeds from the film will benefit the PNP-OLC Foundation, Inc. (OLFCI), which supports education, welfare, and empowerment programs for the families of PNP officers.

Now in production, Beyond the Call of Duty promises not only a gripping cinematic experience but also a heartfelt salute to the unsung heroes who embody the true spirit of service — proving that courage goes far beyond the call of duty.
