According to the official logline, Jordan is a “self-absorbed teen whose carefree summer is upended when an ancient icy villain attacks his grandmother’s island in the Philippines.”
The crisis forces him to step up, taking control of a ship known as the Sun Chaser to save his grandmother and protect their home. What begins as a reluctant journey evolves into a test of leadership, courage and family ties.
The supporting cast features Eugene Cordero, JR De Guzman, Zia Dantes, AC Bonifacio and KD Estrada, further expanding the show’s dynamic ensemble.
Created by Bobby Pontillas and Bernard Badion, Sun Chaser highlights Filipino creativity at its core, from storytelling to production.
The project reflects a broader push to bring more Filipino narratives into the global animation conversation.
