GMA Network’s Public Affairs arm has enlisted Ruru Madrid to lead its latest primetime series, Black Rider, following the success of Lolong in 2022.
Ruru Madrid is Elias Guerrero, a motorcycle driver for the delivery app Biyahero. However, his life takes a dramatic turn as he assumes the identity of the ‘Black Rider,’ a vigilante deter-mined to fi ght the notorious Golden Scorpion syndicate.
“Ayokong sayangin kasi hindi lahat ng artista ay binibigyan ng action na serye. So, I might as well give my everything with the trust that has been given to me. I don’t want to take it for granted and I want to surpass their expectations of me.”Ruru, as Elias, works as a motorcycle driver for the delivery app Biyahero. However, his life takes a dramatic turn as he assumes the identity of the “Black Rider,” a vigilante determined to fight the notorious Golden Scorpion syndicate.
Jon Lucas is Calvin Magallanes, who shares Elias’ motorcycle skills but he is driven by ambition and thirst for power as part of the Golden Scorpion. According to Ruru, Matteo had the chance to showcase his skills and training as a military reservist and former race car driver in the show. Ruru particularly praised his co-star’s markmanship and his car stunts.
The TV host continued to commend the lead star, “Sabi nga ni Monsour, ‘Taekwondo black belter ka rin ba?’ In all seriousness, Monsour really said this, ‘I’m so happy to be working with Ruru because everything is one take with him,’” referring to a comment from Monsour del Rosario, who’s just one of the veteran action stars who are part of the series.
The homegrown GMA actress, Katrina Halili, portrays Rona Marie Ana “Romana” Tolentino, a vigilante who fights alongside Elias against the Golden Scorpion. “We all trained together at the Belarmino Sports Complex under the guidance of coach Erwin Tagle,” said the resident villain of the show. “Maiksi lang siya pero kapag ginawa mo siya, aabot siya ng six hours,” Katrina said. It took that long because of the different shots they had to make.
“We apply them here. Because siempre kaya din natin siya, but at the same time, we want to promote Filipino martial arts.” “It’s not just a story of delivery riders. Of course, we also highlight them because sila po yung ating mga bayani lalo na nong panahon ng pandemya,” said Ruru.
