Although Robin and Mariel Padilla are not available during the time, Rommel Padilla and the 2nd generation of Padillas: Matt, Kylie, Daniel and RJ were present to give us details about the movie, Sa Ngalan Ng Ama, Ng Ina, At Mga Anak.

Director Jon adds that this is not just an action movie, it is also a social drama. Kylie Padilla says that it is also a movie that deals with moral and ethical decisions. I got to ask the next generation of Padillas if they did their own stunts, the elder Padilla said, "Syempre, tatak Padilla yung gumawa ng sariling stunts. Pawis, dugo at pagod ang binigay namin lahat para mabuo ang movie na ito.

I asked them about their challenging stunts they made while shooting the movie. RJ shared that one scene require him to jump on lower ground and he just realized he had a knife on his pocket and it gave him minor cuts.

Daniel and Kylie shared that they endured stunts involving pyrotechnic special effect. Director Jon adds among the Padilla siblings, Kylie is the most likely to succeed in the action movies.
