In the dusty, unforgiving landscape of Philippine action-drama, there are villains we love to hate and anti-heroes we dare to root for. But every so often, a project comes along that shatters the mold entirely. Welcome to the gritty world of Dukot Queen .

“Sunshine spent three weeks training in Krav Maga and tactical driving,” our source reveals. “She has a scene in Act 2 where she waterboards a corrupt politician using a busted fire hose.
