The much talked historical biopic film Heneral Luna once
again is back in Manila this coming November 30, 2015, 6pm at Meralco
Theater. This is a special screening, and a fund raising event for Bagong
Sistema, Bagong Pag-asa, an apolitical movement group that advocates the
changing of the Philippine Constitution for the better future.
The said semi-NGO group is led by former Chief Justice
Reynato Puno, who is now on the verge of asking the Philippine congress before
the Christmas break to approve its petition for Constitutional Convention.
Bagong Sistema, Bagong Pag-Asa (BSBP) is also a membership organization with
around 5,000 plus individual members and 300 to 500 thousands affiliate organization
around the country. They just started
July of this year during a Summit for Change held in Club Filipino.
Bagong Sistema Bagong Pag-Asa is not calling for Charter
Change but the whole basic 1987 Constitutions to be revised and adopt Parliamentary
Federalism, this kind of change the group believes it will resolve the current
status of the country in terms of Poverty and Corruption.
“Realistically due to time constraints, right now I think we
are at 50-50 state, because we have a very short window of time, gipit sa
panahon para maipasa ang resolusyon, hinahangad natin na sana hindi masyado
pahabain ang debate sa Kongreso, but even then kung hindi matuloy ang referendum
ay ipagpapatuloy natin eto na maging isa sa usapin sa halalan, in fact gusto
natin maisama etu sa debate ng mga kandidato, na anu ang posisyon nila sa
pagbabago ng ating Sistema.” Said by Conrado
Generoso, President of BSBP.

Due to the message convey by the film Heneral Luna,
advocating changing the oneself for the country, is not far away from the
advocacy of BSBP, and that’s the reason they choose it for re-showing and for
those who missed it Metro Manila Theaters.
Heneral Luna stars John Arcilla in the title role under the
direction of Jerrold Tarog for Artikulo Uno productions, according to Wikipedia
it gross P240Million in Box office during its nationwide showing. It is now the
official entry of Philippines to the annual Oscar Academy awards for Best
Foreign Film.
Chong Cafe also participated during the Pressconference of the said event.

Update: As of November 27, 2015 We received email from PMCM, the group who handles PR for this event, that it did not push thru due to the reason Artikulo Uno don't want to be associated with any political parties.
