MANILA -- Film producer TBA Studios brought together the cast members of the Bayaniverse cinematic trilogy for a historic class photo to celebrate the 10th year of the hit biopic “Heneral Luna.”
The photo was taken by photographer Artu Nepomuceno and shows the lead stars from 2015’s “Heneral Luna,” 2018’s “Goyo: Ang Batang Heneral,” and the upcoming historical biopic “Quezon” as moviegoers in a cinema which is "a fitting tribute to a film series that has helped shape cultural and cinematic conversation in the country for the last ten years."
The photo shoot also commemorates the theatrical release of “Heneral Luna” on September 9, 2015. It has since become the highest-grossing Philippine historical film of all time and jump-started the Bayaniverse cinematic trilogy.

“We assembled the stars of our historical films ‘Heneral Luna,’ ‘Goyo: Ang Batang Heneral,’ and ‘Quezon’ to celebrate the shared experience of cinema and the electricity of a live audience,” she said.
“This photo shoot fittingly encapsulates TBA Studios’ love for and commitment to Philippine cinema as we celebrate 'Heneral Luna' and the 10 years since it came out in theaters. It also signals our excitement as we await the release of 'Quezon' in Philippine cinemas on October 15,” she added.
