Pacquiao plays the role of Ambrocio Lerio, a young man who grew up in the midst of poverty. When his father died, he was forced to take on the responsibility of being the breadwinner of the family. He had worked on menial jobs in the market until he eventually discovered his boxing talents. He fought in many boxing contests and has become a boxing hero but he never forgot his past. Daria Ramirez plays the role of his mother who says "Gamitin mo ang iyong lisensyadong kamao at itayo mo ang dangal ng mga Pilipino." (Use that fist that's licensed to fight and raise the dignity of the Filipino.)
Tony Bernal directed the film from the screenplay of Serge R. Custodio, Jr. It co-stars Aubrey Miles, Juliana Palermo, Daria Ramirez, Eddie Garcia and Charlie Davao.
The Herbst Theatre premiere will also feature a teleconference with Manny Pacquiao from Los Angeles greeting his fans in San Francisco. Three (3) sets of sportswear memorabilia, posters autographed by Manny Pacquiao and other prizes will be available at a silent auction at the theater lobby.
