A Spanish animated movie is making waves on the internet for its portrayal of Filipino hero Lapu-Lapu. But Malacañang will leave it to the movie board to handle whether or not it should air in Philippine theatres.
"That's the jurisdiction of the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board . Sila ang magde-decide doon. We don't want to preempt the jurisdiction of that agency," Presidential Spokesperson Salvador Panelo said in a press briefing Thursday. The movie in question, titled Elcano and Magellan, is set to air in the Philippines January next year. This is according to its official distributor in the Philippines, Crystalsky Multimedia.
"This is the story of the brave seafarers who grabbed the helm of history and changed its course forever. A journey which, as many people know, was started by Ferdinand Magellan who was killed by Lapu-Lapu and his men from the Philippines at the battle of Mactan, but that not so many know was concluded by Juan Sebastian Elcano," the distributor said in a Based on the trailer, Elcano finds a love interest in a Filipina named Samar and an ally in the king of Cebu.
The Philippines want to see this movie so we can watch Lapu Lapu kill Magellan.
Have u ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
as a cebuano I would like to see the movie Just to see our cebuano culture on films after seeing it I will give my opinion if it is GOOD OR NOT.
We should not be angered by their own version of the story. All our ancestors did something bad to survive and you're the product of that struggle. Unless it's a propaganda.
