In case you haven’t heard, there’s a film in the works about the Mamasapano Massacre of 2015 that resulted in the deaths of 44 Special Action Forces commandos, as well as 18 members of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front, 5 members of the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters, and 5 civilians.
It will be helmed by Atty. Ferdie Topacio under his newly launched film outfit, Borracho Film Production. And just a month ago, the partial cast for the movie has been revealed.

According to the tweet, the cast will consist of Edu Manzano (who will portray Police Director Benjamin Magalong), Kate Brios, Allan Paule, Myrtle Sarrosa, JC De Vera, Aljur Abrenica, Ritz Azul, Mikey Arroyo, and Claudine Barretto.
It has yet to be revealed when the film will premiere. In a previous report, Atty. Topacio shared that it will follow the story of “those who survived the massacre and those who tried to get them out.”
