Back in the late '80s, shortly after the EDSA revolution, several mainstream films about New People's Army rebels such as "Gabi Na, Kumander", and the biopics "Balweg, The Rebel Priest" and "Kumander Dante" enjoyed commercial success and critical acclaim.

This year, the indie scene seems to be bringing back the subject with upcoming biopics of Eman Lacaba (Tikoy Aguiluz's "Eman") and Jose Maria Sison (Sari and Kiri Dalena's "The Guerilla Is A Poet").
