Rez Cortez is Mang Kanor in upcoming film showing on newest Filipino streaming site
MANILA, Philippines — Veteran actor Rez Cortez will be playing Mang Kanor in the upcoming movie with the same title on the newest Filipino streaming platform AQ Prime.
The announcement came during the grand launch of AQ Prime Entertainment on Saturday at the Conrad Hotel in Pasay.
Res shared that the role would veer him away from playing the 'bad guy' roles.
“Hindi na ako rapist dito. Alam niyo naman na ako ang mas sought-after rapist sa Philippine cinema. Ako si Mang Kanor,” Rez said in the event.
“Nevertheless, Mang Kanor is a not a rapist but still a bad guy because he takes advantage to young women. The difference is I record a video,” he added.
Rez said that the movie will teach young girls not to fully trust anyone.
“This is a very timely film that will give sort of lessons to young girls not to be close with the likes of Mang Kanor,” he said.
