AKO SI NINOY – Director Vince Tañada said that the Aquino family supported his musical film.

Director Vince Tañada said that the Aquino family supported his musical film "Ako si Ninoy".

It was last January 22, 2023 when the trailer of the musical film has been released online.

On Friday, the director said in an interview on ANC that the musical film will show the life of Ninoy Aquino from “the day of his birth up to the time of his death”. He’s also hoping that the musical film will help combat fake news and historical disinformation.

The director was also asked if his musical film is a response to Darryl Yap’s upcoming movie “Martyr or Murderer (MoM)”.

According to him, the musical film is not a response to a specific movie but “a response to disinformation which is now happening in the country”.

The director hoped that young people will have an interest in knowing the truth because “we have seen a lot of lies about the life of Ninoy”. He added that they wanted to combat disinformation with a movie that is reachable and viable for young people to understand.

Vince also said that historians from the University of the Philippines (UP) and from August Twenty One Movement (ATOM) and a witness to Ninoy Aquino’s assassination helped ensure that all events that were shot for the musical film are genuine and accurate.

He also pointed out that Aquino family supported his musical film, saying that their main resource person was former President Corazon “Cory” Aquino when they made the script last 2009 and they adopted the script into a movie in 2023.

Ito po ay hindi galing lamang sa opinyon ng isang pamilya para maiangat ang kanilang bumagsak na imahen. Ito po ay galing sa pagsasaliksik, pag-aaral ng mga historyador, akademiko at galing mismo sa pamilya ni Ninoy Aquino,” he stressed.

Vince, in his recent post on Facebook, described the musical film as a “multi-plot, multi-character musical film that will topple historical distortionist films.”
