Lakambini: A Revolutionary Story Told on the Big Screen

The Philippine film scene is set to witness an inspiring and long-overdue tribute to a

national heroine with the upcoming release of Lakambini Gregoria de Jesus.

This docu-narrative film, scheduled for release in November 2025, shines a powerful

spotlight on the life of Gregoria de Jesus—the brave Katipunan secretary and the wife

of Andres Bonifacio, one of the most prominent figures of the Philippine revolution.

A Story 150 Years in the Making

The genesis of Lakambini is a testament to passion and perseverance.

It has taken over a decade for this story to be brought to life on screen, reflecting the

deep respect and dedication of those involved in the project.

Directed by Arjanmar H. Rebeta and produced by Ellen Ongkeko-Marfil, the film is

based on a celebrated stage play by Rody Vera, Jeffrey Jeturian, and Neil Daza,

adapted carefully to reveal the multifaceted life of Gregoria de Jesus.

Marked by her resolute spirit and enduring commitment to the fight for independence,

Gregoria’s story has often been overshadowed in history by the exploits of her husband,

Andres Bonifacio.

Lakambini seeks to rewrite that narrative by showcasing her crucial contributions as a

revolutionary heroine in her own right.

What makes Lakambini unique is its innovative approach in intertwining two

narratives—the historical journey of Gregoria de Jesus herself and the contemporary

journey of filmmakers bringing her story to the public eye.

This method not only deepens the emotional impact but also highlights the effort and

passion behind telling untold stories of national history.

The film’s release coincides with Gregoria de Jesus's 150th birthday anniversary,

making it a significant cultural milestone that honors her legacy and contributions to the

Philippine struggle for freedom.

Produced with the support of the Film Development Council of the Philippines and the

National Commission for Culture and the Arts, Lakambini is more than just a film.

It is a cultural project championing national pride and the recognition of women’s roles

in history.

The film stars Lovi Poe as Gregoria de Jesus, adding star power and depth to the

portrayal of this complex and inspiring character.

The official trailer has already sparked excitement online, promising a deeply moving

experience.

Lakambini is a must-watch for anyone interested in Philippine history, women's

empowerment, and stories of courage and love for the country.

It reminds audiences that heroes come in many forms and that every story deserves to

be told.

this important cultural milestone.

The release in November 2025 marks the beginning of a new chapter in celebrating the

life of Gregoria de Jesus—the true Lakambini of the Philippine revolution.
