10 Of The Most Iconic Films That Shaped Philippine Cinema: Magnifico, Buy Bust, And More
Another classic masterpiece from Nepomuceno was Punyal na Guinto (Golden Dagger), which is considered as the first "talkie" in the country. It premiered on March 9, 1933 at the Lyric Theatre. However, Nepomuceno was midway to finishing the film when American duo Harris and Tait offered their machines to add sound into the film. This made the character of the Golden Dagger to speak (in Tagalog) halfway through the film.
At the time, Tagalog was not yet the lingua franca across the country, as it is only widely used in Metro Manila. And so the question of what dialect should be used when the film premieres in other regions was raised. Nevertheless, Nepomuceno sticked to the original material (the novel by Antonio Sempio) of which the film was based and thus used Tagalog.
Eventually, Filipino "talkies" flourished in the country as well as in the international stage. Eduardo de Castro's Zamboanga in 1937 was the first to be released in North America. Originally in Tausug and Tagalog language, the film was eventually re-filmed in English and also introduced the technology of subtitling when it was screened in non-English-speaking countries.

COTABATO CITY (MindaNews / 05 January) — I finally had the chance to watch Brillante Mendoza’s “Mindanao.”
You have to give it to Judy Ann Santos: Her acting was very, very good. The cinematography including animation was beautifully done.
But if we base a review of the movie on its title — “Mindanao”—it becomes difficult for us who are of that island to process the fact that the script reduces an island so full of cultural and ethnic diversity to a single narrative. There are many narratives in Mindanao. To show only one is inaccurate.
“Mindanao” is what happens when you try to homogenize several voices into one storyline squeezed into less than two hours of movie: The film becomes a flawed narrative that perpetuates injustices in much the same way that people who do not understand Mindanao and its people impose their “Pinoy pride.”
What is vinta doing in the Liguasan Marsh? The vinta sails the Sulu Sea. Why present the different places in Mindanao as if they were simply different areas of one compound? Davao is not just a jeepney ride away from Awang, Maguindanao: The dista
