ABS-CBN First FPJ Offering

Today 20th of October is the first telecast of one of many FPJ movies after ABS-CBN acquired the exclusive rights to the whole movie library of the late Action star icon Fernando Poe Jr.

Even I watched his movie again and again, he still amazed me and I’m sad because of his untimely death it really affects the movie industry in the Philippines.

Many Filipinos believe he won the last presidential election in the Philippines and many are also saying he was cheated.

He appeared in more than 200 films, including several based on true stories, and won the Philippine equivalent of the Academy Award four times. Over the course of his five-decade career, Poe directed nine movies and ran several production companies.

ABS-CBN first FPJ movie offering : Hindi Pa Tapos Ang Laban

Description
Fernando Poe, Jr., Michelle Aldana, Johnny Delgado, Paquito Diaz, Dick Israel, and Berting Labra are some of the cast of this movie. Fernando Poe Jr. as Carding Villamar, a city professional who returns to their hometown of Evangelista after learning of his brother's untimely demise. As a series of events unfold, he soon discovers that his brother didn't succumb to a heart attack as he was made to believe. He was shot in cold blood for refusing to sell his land to a powerful congressman. With a town muted and crippled by fear, the congressman's henchmen move unhampered to silence Carding and his brother's orphaned family as well. Big mistake. Armed with only a crusty riffle and a whole ton of rage. Carding sets out to right the wrong and exact vengeance for the murder of his brother. That is, if he survives the hot pursuits of bounty hunters, the militia and the police who are all in the congressman's payroll.

FPJ movie collection can be considered as the biggest and most important movie library in the history of Philippine Cinema.
