A film by Enzo Williams and starring Robin Padilla, “Bonifacio: Ang Unang Pangulo” shows a fiercer side of the hero. It tries to uncover the historical truths behind the underrated legend.

The film had a budget of P100 million but did not do well on the cinemas as it only earned P10 million. It is however a preparation to the movies Heneral Luna and Goyo: Ang Batang Heneral, which both became box-office successes.
