As a direct descendant, I am a steward of this illustrious legacy. Directed by Manolito C. Sulit. If I cannot add to it, then at the very least, I should make sure it is not diminished.

In fact, he said, he initially thought it was just a joke. Gabriel ended by reiterating that he has nothing to do with the film. 100 years after the defeat of the local troops under Gen. Miguel Malvar in the Philippine-American War, the people of a Batangueño town would have lost its character typified by the Tagalog... And it would be disrespectful and a disservice to my great-grandfather if even in the movie about his life, he is not the center of the attention and is merely an afterthought with all the distractions.”He continued, “As a direct descendant, I am a steward of this illustrious legacy.
Miguel Malvar y Carpio (September 27, 1865 – October 13, 1911) was a Filipino general who served during the Philippine Revolution and, subsequently, during the Philippine–American War.He assumed command of the Philippine revolutionary forces during the latter, following the capture of Emilio Aguinaldo by the Americans in 1901. “Malvar” tells the real-life story of Batangas revolutionary hero Miguel Malvar, the last Filipino general to submit to American soldiers during the Philippine-American war.

This should not be difficult to do as the prominent representatives of each line can easily call or message each other. "Gabriel said that while his great-grandfather's legacy as a general is important and "has He also expressed his qualms over Pacquiao's casting.

Pacquiao as a political ploy do not do justice to the ability of Sen. Pacquiao as an actor and smacks figment of imaginations of the politicians who are even using close relatives of Gen. Malvar to sow intrigues to serve the interest of some political sectors opposed to the Government and act as apologies for the foreign colonial regimes that occupied the Philippines for 400 years,” said lawyer Jose Malvar Villegas Jr., head of the JMV Film Production, which is making the movie.Villegas is a grandson of Gen. Malvar and founder/chairman emeritus of Citizen Crime Watch.“We are calling on whomsoever are the critics of the choice of Sen. Pacquiao as Gen. Malvar, to instead of their bickerings brought about by their political agendas, to instead unite for the sake of correcting our history and exposing the abuses of our former colonial masters that have plundered the Philippines for many centuries and which we can now exposed to the world,” Villegas added.“The life and times of Gen. Malvar in the history belongs to the people and cannot be monopolized even by his immediate family as provided for in the Heritage Law and anybody can write or do a movie on the National Hero even without the consent or knowledge of his next of kin,” he concluded.Copyright 2019 Daily Tribune | Concept &Information Group, Inc.
