'Mahusay!': Aquinos attend 'Ako Si Ninoy' premiere night, happy with Ninoy portrayal

MANILA, Philippines — Members of the Aquino family led by former Senator Bam Aquino and Viel Aquino-Dee attended the premiere night of "Ako si Ninoy" in Powerplant Mall in Makati. 

In a report by ABS-CBN, Bam stressed the importance of the film to debunk fake news against Ninoy. 

"Mahalaga na may mga sine na nagkwekwento ng buhay ni Ninoy. Alam naman natin na maraming mga fake news tungkol sa kanya. Maraming naglalabas na hindi totoo, tuloy tuloy 'yan from the time na namatay siya hanggang ngayon," he said.

In his Twitter account, Bam congratulated the film's whole production staff.

Mixed emotions noong dumalo kami sa premier ng #AkoSiNinoy last weekend. Na-highlight ng movie yung mga bagay na pinapahalagahan nating lahat - pagmamahal sa pamilya, kapwa, bayan, at Diyos. Mahusay! Congrats sa lahat ng bumubuo ng movie na ito! #TheresAHeroInAllOfUs pic.twitter.com/qiFfIIQgDM
