"Another contemporary classic in the vernacular comes to the screen with the filming of Jose Esperanza Cruz hit of the year novel "Magkapatid" by Filippine Films, under the same title that has made it so popular all over the Islands.
"Magkapatid," depicting the struggle for happiness of a detested half-sister, dramatically portrayed by its author has been faithfully brought to the screen with all its emotional richness, with an exceptionally strong cast headed by Alma Bella, Rogelio de la Rosa, Leopoldo Salcedo, Nela Alvarez, Taita Sari and supported by such well-known feature players as Perla Garcia, Patring Carvajal, Juanita Angeles, Salvador Zaragoza and Manuel Barbeyto." (The Tribune, August 1937)
The movie, directed by Fermin Barva, was released and shown at Fox Theater, August 9, 1937
