Mang Kepweng (Vhong Navarro) continues to heal people from various illnesses using his mystical scarf. However, the scarf's powers began to wane as Kepweng becomes too obsessed with it. He embarks on a quest to find three ingredients in order to restore the scarf's powers and establish himself as its rightful owner.[3]
Mang Kepweng: Ang Lihim ng Bandanang Itim was reportedly a submission for the supposed inaugural edition of the Metro Manila Summer Film Festival in April 2020, which was later cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[2] However, it was not among the official entries prior to the film festival's cancellation.[4]
The film was then included as one of the ten official entries of the 2020 Metro Manila Film Festival and was made available online through UpStream from December 25, 2020, to January 8, 2021.[5]
