Gilbert Monsanto is set to release through his Sacred Mountain Publications the premiere issue of Bayan Knights , which brings together Pinoy superheroes of various creators. In an Philippine Daily Inquirer article , Monsanto intends to have Bayan Knights serve as a springboard for new creator-owned characters.
