According to stories on the internet, Mang Kanor was an ex-police officer, but it wasn't clear if he retired from the service. Or he went absent without leave, or was AWOL.

He was a generous man. He helped most of the students that he knew with their financial needs. And probably this sparked a few dark thoughts in him since some of the students are pretty.

At present, Mang Kanor is a name coined for a dirty old man dating young girls.

Though the act and name of Mang Kanor became a sensational story, only a few people knew the story. So, this 2023 AQ Prime streams his story to give a platform to describe who Mang Kanor was. Also, what had happened in his life, and the real story.

In this movie, Rez Cortez plays the role of Mang Kanor. Together with some of the sexy stars in AQ Prime, this ensemble is the whole cast of this movie.

We have known Rez Cortez, and throughout his career in showbiz, he has played plenty of roles. From kontrabida to sidekick, from drama to comedy, has nailed and concreted his acting skills in the industry.
