Bagman

After escaping death - twice in one night, Benjo Malaya, a small-town barber turned recounts the events that led him down the dark and dangerous path of becoming the Governor's "Bagman".

To secure his family's future, Benjo allows his barbershop to be used as a drop off and pick up point for three unassuming Styrofoam boxes. Not knowing that the boxes contain "grease money" for the vast smuggling network in the province, Benjo is assaulted by Cito, the Governor's right hand, for his involvement in the illegal operation. At knife point, Benjo's loyalty is tested. His decision impresses Cito and paves the way for Benjo's mentorship to be part of the Governor's "inner circle".

Cito trains Benjo in the ways of the Bagman: leverage, manipulation, and violence. Three years later, Benjo must use all that he learned from Cito to regain control of his life from the Governor who has already betrayed him. Benjo's first move is to strike a deal with Leon, the Bagman of the Governor's political rival.

As Benjo hovers between life and death, he encounters his late uncle Dencio's apparition, giving him a perspective on why he should continue fighting and living. When Benjo regains his consciousness, he faces the reality in front of him: that he needs to go back to Magdiwang and be a puppet governor. His first order of business? Build the shady Magdiwang Port.

As news on the displacement of multiple residents linked to the construction of Magdiwang Port breaks out, protesters criticizing the said project sprang up like mushrooms. And, one of the most vocal and influential critics among the opposition is Father Sebastian. To shut the priest's mouth, Benjo resorts to blackmail. Meanwhile, Emman looks for a way to persuade his boss to give him his job back.

After his brutal murder of Father Sebastian, Emman impresses Congressman Matias and earns himself a position within the Congressman's inner circle. Meanwhile, Benjo has to deal with the backlash of the priest's death from the public and the media, which is spearheaded by a vlogger under the name of "Alyas Pepe."
