Lakambini: Gregoria de Jesus (2025) covers Gregoria de Jesus’s life, from her young adulthood to her widowhood and later years, highlighting her bravery, sacrifices, and her role in safeguarding the Katipunan. It bridges the gap between historical drama and documentary, showcasing the 10-year journey of making the film.

The document is about a film titled “Lakambini Gregoria de Jesús,” a creative meta docu-fiction screenplay by Arjanmar H. Rebeta and a production by Ellen Ongkeko-Marfil. The film stars Lovi Poe as Gregoria de Jesús, Rocco Nacino as Andres Bonifacio, and Paulo Avelino as Julio Nakpil, among others. The film aims to tell the history from the perspective of a woman, specifically Gregoria de Jesús, who is recognized as the “Lakambini of Katipunan” and “Mother of the Philippine Revolution,” and was the partner of Andres Bonifacio. The creators emphasize that acknowledging her is meant to empower women today.

The document mentions that the film was originally slated for release in March (Women’s Month) but was pushed back due to other major film releases like “Snow White,” “Jurassic Park,” “Superman,” and “Wicked.” Despite these challenges, “Lakambini Gregoria de Jesús” is set to be released nationwide on November 05. The document also references other historical Filipino films such as “José Rizal,” “Bonifacio: Ang Unang Pangulo,” “Heneral Luna,” “Goyo: Ang Batang Heneral,” and “El Presidente,” highlighting that this film will focus on a “Lakambini” in contrast to the many films about “Lakans” (male heroes).
