Trailer Synopsis Cast

Under the guise of the increasing threat of Communism and the ever-evolving bureaucracy of Philippine democracy, Marcos Sr. declared Martial Law in an attempt to hold on to subjugate the rise of crime and injustice. But does history narrate a fate that actualized his vision to bring peace? Or do the books echo a paradox? A reality where he fought fire with fire — communism with a strongarm that riddled it with bullets and bloodshed.
