In honor of Jose Rizal on his coming birthday, grab a copy of the JOSE RIZAL Dvd and watch the most talked-about film of cultural and historical significance over and over again. “JOSE RIZAL” is considered the biggest blockbuster film ever made in the history of Philippine cinema. Directed by Marilou Diaz Abaya (UP graduate and London-trained director) under GMA Films, this movie won over 70 international awards, including 16 awards from the 1998 Metro Manila Film Festival, 11 awards from the 1999 FAMAS Awards, 6 awards from the 1999 Gawad Urian Awards, 8 from the 1999 Star Awards for Movies and various awards from different film festivals worldwide like the Berlin International and Toronto Film Festivals.
