"Baler" is the official entry of VIVA Films in this year's Metro Manila Film Festival. It is topbilled by Jericho Rosales and Anne Curtis under the direction of Mark Meily.
It is a story of love that blossomed in the middle of war in 1898. This happened during the encounter between the 57-man Rifle Batallion of the Spanish military and the Filipino forces, which is now referred as the Siege of Baler.
Feliza Reyes (Anne Curtis) is a young Filipina who fall in love with Celso Resurrecion (Jericho Rosales), a half-Spaniard/half-Filipino (Indio) soldier who chooses to serve the Spaniards against the Filipino insurgents who are fighting for their independence.
Nanding (Phillip Salvador), Feliza's father and a member of the rebel movement, objected to Feliza and Celso's romance. But their love for each other grows so strong that even her father and the war could not break it.
The cast includes Joel Torre, Michael De Mesa, Baron geisler, Nikki Bacolod, Rio Locsin, Carlo Aquino, Ryan eigenmann, Leo Martines, Bernard Palanca, Mark Bautista, Alvin Anson and Jao Mapa. The movie is set to hit the big screen on December 25, 2008.
