The movie also shows us that nothing much has changed in terms of people’s attitude towards religion whether their own or that of others. If anything “Felix Manalo” teaches us that if we believe in something, if it is truly of worth, and it is of God, even if we lose family, home, jobs and the respect or honor of men, we must cling to that which we believe. However you relate to the lead character, it is a story of a man who clearly had a calling, pursued it to the point of suffering, persecution and being ostracized by his friends, family and even people he had grown with in the faith.

The movie walks us through the doctrinal challenge and devotion that stirred Felix Manalo to eventually establish what he believed was divine inspiration and the will of God for an “Iglesia Ni Kristo.” What should make all of us proud is that in spite of the odds, Felix Manalo was a Filipino who founded a Filipino church against overwhelming odds and discrimination. If Heneral Luna made us rethink and relearn our political history, and rekindled our nationalism, “Felix Manalo” teaches us about our religious history, how the impact of American churches on Catholicism, Filipino life and faith. The movie is very educational, and is in the same level of excellence.

Like “Heneral Luna,” the film “Felix Manalo” is a superbly done biopic and period piece. In spite of better publicity and marketing than “Heneral Luna,” the film has not been talked about much by the general public or media. In terms of filmmaking etc., what seems to impress people who’ve seen the film is how the characters in the film seamlessly age, how the “make-up” actually covers up many characters to the point that you have to take a second look to recognize them or be certain you are seeing who you think you are seeing. Even my wife who is a foreigner, an “Estranghero” really appreciated the folk scenes of the Philippines in the beginning of the 1900s, the simplicity of life, the old houses and their abiding faith in God. I’m called the reluctant moviegoer in my home, but I watched through the three-hour movie and I was glued to the screen.

It would be our loss not to watch “Felix Manalo.” There were only six people watching! Perhaps it was because it was mid-week and mid-day, showing in several hundred theaters at the same time.

The minute the moviehouse sold tickets we were in line, the second “group” to make it to the first showing of “Felix Manalo.” But unlike the record breaking premier it had at the Philippine Arena, our first day showing at Robinson’s Pioneer was nothing close.
