47. SPANISH-PHILIPPINE WAR on MOVIES


Every Filipino was taught in school about our struggle for freedom from Spain. The Philippine Revolution was an armed military conflict between the Filipinos and the Spanish colonial authorities which resulted in the secession of the Philippine Islands from the Spanish Empire.

The Filipino Revolution and its ideals were an inspiration to the nationalists and film producers.  These movies are important reminder of the Katipuneros’ sacrifices to gain independence.  On the field of battle they have given their lives not only in combat or in the open plain but also in martyrdom’s plight.

Here are 2 movies produced in the 1930s with Spanish - Philippine War theme. 

TENIENTE ROSARIO by Parlatone Hispano-Filipino Inc
Starring Lucita Goyena, Rogelio De La Rosa and Andres Centenera
Directed by Octavio Silos



BIAK na BATO by X-OTIC Films
Starring Fernado Poe and Lucita Goyena. Directed by Jose Nepumuceno
