[Title] => CBCP finds historical flick unbelievable
[Summary] => Unbelievable.
This was the rating given to the technical aspects of the film Lapu Lapu by the Catholic Initiative for Enlightened Movie Appreciation (Cinema).
The controversial film stars Pampanga Gov. Lito Lapid as Raja Lapu Lapu, veteran actor Dante Rivero as Magellan and Joyce Jimenez as Princesa Bulakna, Lapu Lapu’s bride.
Cinema, however, failed to elaborate on its criticism of the impossible technical aspects of Lapu Lapu, which shows the fearless fight of the ruler of Mactan island to keep his land free of foreign dominion.
