Tickets for the Manila International Film Festival are now on sale.
After the successful run of GMA Pictures' 58th at the 2026 Cinemalaya Film Festival, the animated biographical drama film will be shown at the upcoming Manila International Film Festival (MIFF), which will be held in Los Angeles, California.
It will be screened on September 5 at 2 p.m. at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, Los Angeles.
Kapuso actress Glaiza de Castro stars as Maria Reynafe Castillo, the daughter of Reynaldo “Bebot” Momay played by Ricky Davao, a photojournalist who oversaw the Maguindanao massacre and is believed to be the 58th victim.
However, since the body of Bebot was never found, he was not considered to be one of the victims. Maria, however, continues to fight for answers and to have her father recognized as the 58th victim of the massacre.
The Maguindanao massacre, which happened on November 23, 2009, in the town of Ampatuan, is considered one of the deadliest single attacks on journalists in history. It resulted in the death of 58 individuals, 32 of whom were journalists.
The film also marks Ricky's final film after he passed away on May 1, 2025. The film also stars Mikoy Morales, Biboy Ramirez, Marco Masa, and Zyren Dela Cruz in undisclosed roles.
Tickets for the MIFF are already on sale.
