Float of Mamasapano: Now It Can Be Told
MAMASAPANO: NOW IT CAN BE TOLD – The movie’s float in the Metro Manila Film Festival 2022 Parade of Stars created quite a stir online.
Produced by Atty. Ferdinand Topacio, Mamasapano: Now It Can Be Told is a movie that depicts the tragedy that befell the soldiers involved in the SAF’s “Oplan Exodus” on January 25, 2015, in Mamasapano, Maguindanao.
It stars Paolo Gumabao, Edu Manzano, Aljur Abrenica, Claudine Barretto, Gerald Santos, Alan Paule, Rey “PJ” Abellana, Jojo Abellana, Ronnie Liang, Myrtle Sarrosa, Ritz Azul, Rez Cortez, Juan Rodrigo, Jojo Alejar, Jim Pebanco, Tom Olivar and to name few. It is slated to hit theaters on December 25, 2022.
It was just recently when Parade of the Stars for the 2022 Metro Manila Film Festival was held. It started at Welcome Rotonda Quezon City and ended at the Quezon Memorial Circle.
Apparently, many were wondering why there was no stars boarding the float of the Mamasapano: Now it Can Be Told. Many were dismayed because there were some looking forward to personally see the lead casts of the movie such as Paolo Gumabao and Aljur Abrenica.
Film writer Jerry Gracio took to social networking site, Facebook wherein he posted a video while the float of the aforementioned movie is passing by. The video shows a look-alike of late former President Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino waving before the fans.
His post was accompanied by the caption: “Yung mga kaibigan kong sundalo, ayaw nang pag-usapan ito. Pero pilit na binubuhay ng mga di nakakaalam ng dynamics sa loob ng AFP ang isyu, ginagamit sa pelikula. Ginamit nila ‘yung patay sa parada. Dahil ba wala silang maiparadang artista?”
