ABS-CBN and Dreamscape Entertainment Television will prove this summer that anyone who is armed with the power of love can be a superhero in My Super D, which stars Dominic Ochoa and Marco Masa. It debuts tomorrow on primetime.
Dominic will play Dodong, a security guard who is an avid fan of the deceased superhero Super D (Richard Yap) and is fond of helping others. His son Dennis (Marco), meanwhile, grows up in a simple yet contented family and admires his father for his dedication to help people who are in need.
However, with Dodong caring so much for others’ welfare, he tends to forget his duties as a father and often disappoints his wife Nicole (Bianca Manalo). After Dodong lands in jail for being allegedly involved in a construction accident, Nicole makes the hard decision of leaving Dodong and raising Dennis on her own.
After being freed from jail, Dodong works as a stunt double for Tony (Marvin Agustin), an actor in a children’s show and his long-time rival for Nicole’s love. Here, Dodong also meets Pablo Mateo (Nonie Buencamino), the show’s writer and one of Super D’s closest friends. Upon seeing and knowing Dodong, the writer realizes that he could be the rightful man who can take Super D’s place as mankind’s defender against evil forces.
One day, Dennis gets kidnapped by a group of unknown men, and with the help of Pablo, Dodong gets a grab of the powerful Blue Gem and turns himself into Super D, saving his son’s life from harm.
And from that day on, Dodong relives the legacy of the late superhero and starts his own journey of fighting crimes and saving lives as Super D.
Now that he is officially a superhero, can Dodong successfully protect everyone from the forces of evil? Will he be able to balance his time for other people’s welfare and his own family? Will the Blue Gem be powerful enough in guarding his life and his family from potential harm?
Also joining the cast of My Super D are Sylvia Sanchez, Ronaldo Valdez, Jason Francisco, Jayson Gainza, Atoy Co, Mytle Sarrosa, Jef Gaitan, Louie Domingo, Bong Regala, Ryan Rems, and Marina Benipayo, with the special participation of Richard Yap, Lara Quigaman, and Ronnie Lazaro.
My Super D airs weeknights before TV Patrol on ABS-CBN (SD) and ABS-CBN (HD) (SkyCable 167). Catch up via iWant TV and skyondemand.com.ph for Sky subscribers.
