Baler

Directed by Mark Meily

With Anne Curtis, Jericho Rosales, Phillip Salvador, Andrew Schimmer and Joel Torre

In 1898, a band of Spanish soldiers heroically defended Baler against Filipino forces for 337 long and grueling days. The battle, now referred to as the Siege of Baler, is the setting of a forbidden love between a Mestizo soldier and a Filipina lass who lived at the end of the 19th century.
