QUEZON CITY, Philippines – The much-anticipated docu-drama “Sa Likod ng Tsapa” (Behind the Badge) is set for a nationwide theatrical release on August 13, 2025, distributed by Solar Entertainment. The film, which recently passed evaluation by the Cinema Evaluators Association of the Philippines (CEAP), promises a raw and human portrait of the country’s law enforcers.
Produced by POP Moviehouse and directed by Editha Z. Caduaya, “Sa Likod ng Tsapa” delves into the unseen battles, moral dilemmas, and personal sacrifices faced by police officers. It specifically highlights the untold story of Police Colonel Hansel Marantan, a figure often defined by headlines and controversy, offering a deeper look beyond his public image.
“This film goes beyond crime scenes and operations. It exposes the unseen weight of honor, loyalty, and the price paid by those who serve behind the badge,” said Caduaya, who also serves as the executive producer.
Following a series of successful private previews, the film has garnered early praise for its bold storytelling and the compelling performances from its ensemble cast, which includes both seasoned and new actors. Audiences nationwide will have the opportunity to experience this eye-opening look into the personal costs and quiet heroism behind the uniform when it premieres in major cinemas.
