| Batang X |
"In the 90's Direk Peque Gallaga and Lore Reyes gave us Batang X, after 2 movies and a short spin as a TV series in channel 5 we slowly forgot about them. We believe amidst the problems and calamities we are having, we are reminded of our roots, to harken back and preserve the what's good in our past.
Batang X paved the way to TV/Movie Superheroes taken from DC/Marvel style and adopted it to our culture, making it an instrument to convey messages of hope, unity, patriotism and goodwill to mankind the Filipino way."
With that said, Anna Larrucea and Janus Del Prado will make an appearance in HeroCon. I'm sure a lot of us had a crush on Anna when she played Trina in Batang X as well as other T.V. Appearances. As stated in the HeroCon Facebook Page:
"We are proud to have Anna Larrucea who played Trina in Batang X with us on our Panel with Direk Peque Gallaga and Lore Reyes. She was launched as part of Star Circle Batch 4 and became a mainstay in ABS-CBN TV shows Ang TV (1992-1997), Kaybol (1995), Gimik (1996) and Mula Sa Puso (1997).
She starred in the movie Baby Love (1995) with Jason Salcedo. She did movies such as Batang X (1995) with Aiko Melendez, Magic Temple (1996), Ang TV: The Movie (1996), Batang PX (1997) with Patrick Garcia, Mula Sa Puso: The Movie (1999), Puso ng Pasko (1998), plus Sugatang Puso (2001) starring Lorna Tolentino and Christopher de Leon.
She was nominated for FAMAS Best Child Actress Award in Magic Temple (1996).
She appeared in GMA-7s TV series Hawak Ko Ang Langit (2003) with Assunta de Rossi, and Impostora (2007) starring Iza Calzado and Sunshine Dizon."
Janus del Prado, the child actor who played Control in Batang X will also join her on stage. Here's HeroCon's official statement:
"We are proud to have Janus del Prado who played Control in Batang X with us on our panel with Direk Peque Gallaga and Lore Reyes. He did a lot of shows in ABS-CBN and GMA Network and later focuses on the Kapamilya Network.
