Picturesque Mt. Makiling, long celebrated in song and legend, provides the vibrant backdrop for Remigio Mat. Castro’s "Makiling," presented for the first time by Parlatone Hispano-Filipino, Inc.
The movie introduces a new screen duo—Rogelio de la Rosa and Rosita Rivera—recently signed by the film outfit. Their moving performances, supported by a strong cast and a compelling storyline, position "Makiling" as a milestone in Philippine cinema.
Castro’s narrative draws from the timeless tale of Mariang Makiling, unfolding with quiet poignancy the struggle of a woman against a world where she does not belong—a theme yet to be explored in local films.
