Enchong promised that more Filipinos will love the country more after watching “GomBurZa.”

“I'm so proud to be a Filipino and I'm so happy that I get to share this film and show it to the younger generation and be like 'pag minahal niyo 'yung bansa natin, mas malaki 'yung tyansa natin na paakyatin 'yung antas ng bansa natin,” he said. 

“After watching the film, more Filipinos will love our country and more Filipinos would envision the Philippines as one of the greats,” he added. 

Dubbed as the biggest historical film of the new decade, “GomBurZa” is set to reawaken the Filipinos’ burning passion for national justice, equality, truth, and independence as it presents a cinematic presentation of the fateful lives and martyrdom of the three Catholic priests – Fr. Mariano Gomes, Fr. Jose Burgos and Fr. Jacinto Zamora.

Produced by JesCom Films, the producer of the award-winning film “Ignacio De Loyola” (2016), and MQuest Ventures of MediaQuest, in cooperation with CMB Film Services, the newest feature film about the consequential story of the three priests sheds light on a crucial chapter in Philippine history — emphasizing the significant roles the three martyred priests played during the Spanish colonial period. This epic film is a journey through time, offering a fresh perspective on a critical period in Philippine history.
