Rey "Boom Boom" Bautista (
John Prats) is sure one tough cookie. The country's recent pride in the field boxing, he has proven himself locally and even abroad, bringing honor to the Philippines. However, most people aren't aware that success didn't come easy for this Bohol native. Growing up poor in Candijay, Bohol, young Boom Boom almost never had a chance at formal education, had he not try his hand at boxing when he was 12. Of course, immersing oneself to such a sport requires hours of rigid training, something which Boom Boom invested on. As such, he ended up skilled not only in boxing, but in life in general, as the training he experienced brought about valuable lessons in life that Boom Boom will never forget.
