Would You Watch A VIVA Films Movie About Antonio Trillanes IV?


I remembered writing about the B.S. that's VIVA Films biopics. You can think that there was the Flor Contemplacion movie called The Flor Contemplacion Story, The Vizconde Massacre Story, the Chiong sisters movie called Jacqueline Comes Home - so why not the Antonio Trillanes IV story? While at it they can call the movie called Trillanes: Sundalo Ng Bukas which means "Trillanes: Soldier of Tomorrow" to promote him as a hero and not as a villain.

You can think of the vilification VIVA did to the innocent Hubert Webb in the Vizconde movie (who was in the U.S. during the time of said massacre), to the Singaporean government, and then to Paco Larranaga. The Flor Contemplacion film also made the late convict look innocent before viewers - that was way before more facts justified why she was put to death in Singapore. Now, it's time to consider that if they can make the late Flor look innocent - why not attempt to make Trillanes look like he's the hero of the Filipino people? While at it, they may want to get Ate Glow or Candy Pangilinan to act as Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo in said movie.

My suggested cast for this movie would be Daniel Padilla as a young Trillanes. Kathryn Bernardo will star as a young Arlene Orejana-Trillanes. The plot may focus on Trillanes' younger years, real-life achievements, his love story with Arlene, and fictitious achievements that VIVA may make. Maybe, they can also consider including the scene of the Oakwood Mutiny and Manila Peninsula Siege. Insert fictitious scenes that will justify said mutiny. Maybe, while we're at it they can get Jaime Fabregas (who's a Dilawan) to play as Noynoy Aquino for obvious reasons.

As said, if VIVA plans to make it then don't stop them. The Chiong Sisters movie was already receiving flak due to the documentary Giving Up Tomorrow. Let them screen the movie so there will be something for critics to criticize. Sometimes, it's just better to let stupid people shoot themselves at the foot, right?
