MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – The opening day of Darryl Yap’s new film, ‘Martyr Or Murderer’ was met with a threat to have it pulled out of Philippine theaters nationwide. This, through the filing of a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO).

MoM, as the film is widely known, tells the story of the late Senator Ninoy Aquino. It is the second of Yap’s trilogy that began with ‘Maid In Malacañang and will soon be followed by MAM or ‘Mabuhay Aloha Mabuhay.

MoM fans are not taking the threat sitting down. Instead, they have responded with an SRO — Standing Room Only — in theater after theater.

From all indications, MoM is headed towards a blockbuster status just like its predecessor, MiM.

Will the TRO be trashed by the SRO?

Stay tuned!

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – A trilogy, as we all know, comes in three’s, but usually in a series with intervals in between. Not so, and only in the Philippines.

Today, March 1, 2023, history is made (and possibly a Guinness World Record).

Three films about the Marcos family are showing simultaneously in theaters nationwide!

Uniquely historical as well is the fact that the trilogy has three different movie productions, film directors and actors, not to mention three different biases!

Which one will reign supreme in the box office?

Stay tuned!
