ang probinsyano

The King of Philippine Cinema, FPJ, stars as an honest policeman from the province who has just been transferred to the big city.

His being "promdi" makes him the butt of many humiliating jokes thrown-in by Manila policemen who believe that their being city-bred guarantees their superiority.

Angered and challenged, he retaliates by working extra hard to solve tough crimes, and in the end proving that his being "probinsyano" is not the gauge to his true worth.

Directed by Fernando Poe Jr.

eseng ng tondo

His name is Eusebio Natividad, but people call him Eseng 45.

He is a Manila policeman known for his honesty, fair judgement and incredible markmanship.

His fairness in handling cases wins him admirers, but it also earns him enemies who want him dead.

He is married to a woman who, though loving and dedicated, often drives him crazy with her mad streak of jealousy.

In one of his official functions, he meets a woman who owns a nightclub. Though not really a rounder, he falls for this street smart female who also serves as his informer.

How long he can keep his illicit affair from the prying eyes of his jealous wife?

And how long can he escape the evil schemes of the people who want him dead?

Spine tingling. Thought provoking. Edge-of-your-seat action.

Directed by Fernando Poe Jr. and Augusto Salvador.
