This year they created yet another world class quality movie for the 38th MMFF 2012, El
Presidente: General Emilio Aguinaldo Story and the First Philippine Republic.
As the whole movie title suggests, the motion picture tells the story of one of the
Philippines' heroes who fought for our own independence General Emilio Aguinaldo.
In a post on Manila Bulletin website on March 1, 2011 it says there that it took 12 years
of research by historians Jose Mari Avellana and Jose Victor Torres including writing
of the script by Roy Iglesias. That means that everything we are going to see in this epic
film is based on what has been written in the Philippines history in the time of Gen.
Aguinaldo including controversies and all of the things he contributed to our country.
It is not just about entertainment but also about educating and reminding our people
how the Philippines got its freedom and how some people we know fought for it.
