MANILA -- In celebration of the 127th Philippine Independence Day, the historical biopics “Heneral Luna” and “Goyo: Ang Batang Heneral” are set to return to cinemas this June 12.
Produced by TBA Studios and directed by Jerrold Tarog, the two award-winning films, which chronicle the heroic lives of Filipino generals Antonio Luna and Gregorio del Pilar, captivated audiences with their gripping storytelling, powerful performances, and patriotic spirit.
"Heneral Luna" starring John Arcilla as General Antonio Luna hit Philippine cinemas in 2015, while “Goyo: Ang Batang Heneral” starring actor Paulo Avelino as Gregorio del Pilar, was released in theaters in 2018.

Filipinos now have the chance to revisit the two films before the much-anticipated final chapter, “Quezon,” arrives in theaters later this year.

Currently, TBA Studios is filming "Quezon" with actor Jericho Rosales as the late Manuel L. Quezon, a Filipino lawyer and soldier who became the President of the Commonwealth of the Philippines from 1935 to 1944. It will highlight his tumultuous presidential campaign against then-President Emilio Aguinaldo.
