There are films that entertain—and there are films that matter. Beyond the Call of Duty, the latest offering from Pinoyflix Entertainment, is one such film. More than just an action-packed movie, it’s a bold tribute to the courage, sacrifice, and patriotism of our real-life heroes: law enforcers, first responders, and military personnel.
And yes, we at Happy Rich TV are beyond honored to have been invited to witness this cinematic experience — thanks to the ever-rising star Maxine Trinidad, who gave a breakthrough performance that left us truly inspired.
Real Heroes. Real Sacrifice.
Set against the backdrop of true-to-life struggles and missions, Beyond the Call of Duty tells the story of elite officers who risk it all to uphold justice and protect the people. From high-stakes operations to heart-wrenching personal decisions, the film dives deep into what it truly means to serve your country—not just in uniform, but with heart.
The direction by Jose “JR” Olinares Jr., and screenplay by Eldrin Veloso, bring emotional depth to every scene. Produced by Luis “Chavit” Singson and Stephanie Singson, this film doesn’t just aim for box office numbers—it aims for national impact.
Maxine Trinidad Shines Bright
One of the biggest revelations in the film is the stellar performance of Maxine Trinidad. Known to many as the “Sassy Sports Gal ng Davao” from Pinoy Big Brother, Maxine steps into a bold new chapter—as an action star.
Her scenes, especially her speech as a PNP graduate, were deeply moving and real. She brought both grace and grit to her role, and her presence lit up every frame she was in. But what really stood out was how she stood up against the main antagonist through her character, Lieutenant Jacob.
Despite being smaller in stature, Maxine showed that she’s a hero in her own right—fearless, determined, and unshakable. She went toe-to-toe with the villain and didn’t back down. I absolutely loved how she carried herself in those intense moments. Her action scenes were so well executed, and the way she embodied strength, conviction, and heart made it clear: she truly went beyond the call of duty.
Maxine not only portrayed her role with authenticity, but also proved she has the potential to become one of the next big action stars in Philippine cinema.
A Filipino Production with Global Quality
From the tight action sequences to the stunning cinematography, Beyond the Call of Duty delivers visuals and storytelling at par with international productions—only this time, it’s in Tagalog and deeply Filipino. It’s a reminder that our stories, when told with heart and skill, can stand shoulder to shoulder with the best of global cinema.
The star-studded cast includes Martin del Rosario, Paolo Gumabao, Devon Seron, Jeffrey Santos, and many more talented artists who each bring unique energy to the screen.
Supporting a Worthy Cause
What makes this film even more meaningful is that it supports the PNP Officers Ladies Club Foundation, Inc., an organization that tirelessly works to improve the lives of PNP personnel and their families. It’s art with a mission — and Happy Rich TV proudly supports that.
Final Thoughts
Watching Beyond the Call of Duty wasn’t just a night out at the movies — it was a night of national pride. A moment to appreciate the real-life struggles of our uniformed heroes. And most of all, it was a moment to cheer for one of our own, Maxine Trinidad, as she steps into her destiny as an actress who not only entertains but inspires.
🎉 Thank you, Maxine, for the invitation. We’re so proud of you!
