In 1898, a band of Spanish soldiers heroically defended Baler in Quezon province against Filipino forces for 337 long and grueling days. The battle, now referred to as the Siege of Baler, is the setting of a forbidden love between an Indio soldier and a Filipina lass who lived at the end of the 19th century
The movie was okay considering the fact that I had no idea what it was all about. It was an epic drama that gave a sort of sneak peak of Philippine history. It also caught my attention cause there were conversations in Spanish. Despite the not so good editing and whatever you may call that (reading a letter with the light/lamp below) the performances of the actors and actresses involved were exceptional. Even if "Filipina" daw si Anne Curtis with all her mestiza looks, she portrayed her role very well. Sexy ni Fafa Jericho. Poor Bravo = Puppy. :( All in all, I guess it was a good movie since my aunt did not fall asleep and her husband was able to under the film thanks to the subtitles.
