The film, "Freedom Fighters," stars Pacquiao as Peralta Jr. and is a retelling of the heroics of not only of the Filipinos during the said war, but also of the Americans who stayed behind to help them. It is based on a memoir titled "Guerrilla Wife." A statement written by the youngest son of Peralta Jr., Engelbert Peralta, and posted online made it clear that they wish for the memory of his father to be "undisturbed" and that the proposed movie "does not meet with the family's approval."

He added that his family would prefer to distance themselves from any kind of politics whatsoever, citing his father's final will."We object to the portrayal by the said honorable senator," wrote Engelbert. "I admire his achievements but strongly feel that his portrayal of my father is not appropriate.
