GMA Pinoy TV held a block screening of “Voltes V: Legacy: The Cinematic Experience” last April for its pay TV partners DIRECTV (VXI Call Center Representatives) and Bell (Quantrics Call Center Representatives), Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines (IPOPHL) led by Director General Atty. Rowel S. Barba and Deputy Director General Atty. Ann Claire Credo-Cabochan, TikTok Philippines, key partners, and Kapuso personalities including Betong Sumaya, Nelson Canlas, Sandro Muhlach, and Christian Bautista.
The event was done to support the creatives behind the most-anticipated live adaptation project and to further promote GMA Network’s anti-piracy advocacy campaign “Stream Responsibly, Fight Piracy.”
After the screening, the guests cannot hide their astonishment with the entirety of the movie from its storyline, graphics, and action scenes.
For Wilfredo Silorio of Quantrics, the movie was definitely a trip down memory lane.
“It really was my childhood, batang 70s, 80s, parang naging tao ‘yung cartoons. Sobrang ganda!”
A lot of the guests even became emotional when they saw the volt in sequence of Voltes V in the big screen.
“Ang galing nu’ng pagkakagawa nu’ng pagvo-volt in. Makikita mo ‘yung details. Kasi ‘di ba ‘pag nanonood ka ng Voltes V, ‘yun ‘yung portion na inaabangan mo eh, and the way they did it, ang ganda talaga especially ‘yung detailing niya,” said maritime lawyer Atty. Ped Faytaren.
It may have taken the production three years to complete the series but it was worth it according to Kapuso comedian Betong Sumaya.
“Bawat eksena talagang pinag-aralan, binuhusan talaga ng panahon. Halo-halong emosyon, parang rollercoaster. Lalo na nu’ng lumabas si Voltes V, wow. Ang tindi, nakakapanindig-balahibo.”
Filipino American artist Eliseo Art Silva, who designed the Historic Filipinotown Gateway in San Francisco, California also commended the dedication of the production team.
“GMA did a great job in bringing back Voltes V to all of us who fell in love with it as kids. I think it’s a masterpiece that only GMA could make because they put their hearts into it and every little detail counts. I think it’s the perfect show for all the family especially the kids.”
Just like Eliseo, Asia’s Romantic Balladeer Christian Bautista extended his appreciation to all the people who worked on this masterpiece.
“I’m very, very proud of everyone, Direk Mark (Reyes), and all the actors, even lahat ng mga tao sa production behind the scenes. Kasi we were always wondering the past three years every time we would see the cast sa All-Out Sundays na parang “Kailan ang Voltes V?” And then here it is. It is just so worth it. Congratulations sa lahat.”
