I saw the subtitled version when it showed at an Asian film festival a few years ago, the opening scene pans across Lake Lanao and their oldest mosque, Bob T you must have a good photo? Of interest was the part where the leader ties the cloth of the kampilan to his hand before he attacks. Some critics thought the movie was a bit preachy but I liked it overall. I've been wanting to watch another film about Lapu Lapu all the way through but I'm looking for a dvd copy with subtitles, I caught some of the beginning battles which were funny to see with director/writers conception of native weaponry, they had some warriors with kalinga shields? and kampilan held backwards? Why didn't they bother to consult us here at the EEWF...lol
