Bagong buwan (New Moon) was an award winning film on the current Mindanao conflict.

It featured an interesting scene on some moro blades.

The young military officer (who was leading a house to house search for moro rebels) was drawn to a set of moro blades in a datu's house. As he was about to touch the kampilan, the datu cautioned him saying the blade was his ancestors' and was used to drive away invaders of their land. The datu was in effect saying he would not hesitate to use it on the young soldier.

There is also another scene showing a set of maranao chess pieces.
