Synopsis: Henry Cruz, also known as “Alyas Pogi” (which means “Alias Hunk” in English), was recently released from prison after serving a long 12-year sentence. When he returns to his humble home, he realizes that his son Paris has grown into a good young man in his absence. It's worth noting that Paris was adopted by a man named Ben Acosta, who interestingly kept Henry's old "Alyas Pogi" costume as well as a collection of weapons, including a katana.
However, amid the joy of being reunited with his son, Henry soon discovers that Ben Acosta and his fellow farmers face a serious threat from Mayor Villegas and his menacing henchmen, led by his own brother, Leo Villegas. The mayor and his cronies put relentless pressure on farmers to give up their land, forcing them to give up their valuable properties to build a luxury hotel and casino.
Through a twist of fate, Mr. Ben Acosta presents Henry with a compelling proposal. He calls on Henry to reprise his impressive role as "Alyas Pogi" and use it as a powerful weapon against the Villegas brothers to finally put an end to their evil deeds and ensure that justice prevails.
With renewed purpose and determination, Henry Cruz sets out to protect the rights of farmers and reclaim their land from the clutches of the corrupt Villegas brothers. Armed with his iconic costume and an array of weapons, he sets out to confront the mayor and his henchmen, vowing to eliminate them and put an end to their unjust actions once and for all.
