                    [Summary] => 

An entry to this year’s Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF), HPI Synergy and Wings Entertainment’s Pedro Calungsod, Batang Martir, written and directed by Francis Villacorta, is a valiant effort to dramatize the life of our second Filipino saint. Valiant because this is not an easy task given the paucity of historical material other than the circumstances of his tragic death in Guam in 1672, at the hands of the Chamorros the Jesuit mission was trying to convert to Catholicism. A young catechist who was the right hand man to mission head Father Diego, Calungsod’s very place of birth is a matter of contention, with both Cebu and Iloilo among those claiming Calungsod as their native son.
