MUST WATCH. But watch Heneral Luna first to better understand the story of the film. This is going to be the second movie that I am going to rate (Heneral Luna as the first). Both films were absolutely great! Unlike other filipino films, it can be noticed that they spent a lot of money just to make this film come to life. A huge cast and crew of 2,000. A production of multiple set locations. A film budget that almost tripled the cost of its predecessor. No expense was spared in bringing to life the story of Goyo: Ang Batang Heneral, the second installment in the historical trilogy that commenced with the 2015 blockbuster biopic Heneral Luna (Philstar, 2018). Before, I was not a fan of historical films or other tagalog films, but thank goodness I still took time to watch heneral luna and goyo. DEFINITELY WAS NOT A WASTE OF TIME AT ALL. This might sound corny but the story of heneral luna, goyo, and all our heroes made my heart closer to the Philippines. I don't want to move into other country when I finish my studies so that I could have a better life, I want to stay here, serve and help our country and our countrymen have a place where going abroad isn't the only choice to be rich and successful. Kudos to all the actors and staff for the hardwork! YOUR HARDWORK TRULY PAID OFF. I am really looking forward to see more of these proudly Filipino-made films! xoxo

The ideas of the film were unique and it was not dull. It was definitely an eye opener for me. Some of the historic films I have watched gradually gets gradually boring that's why I was not really a fan of such genres. However, after watching heneral luna (and goyo) because our teacher told us to do so, it definitely changed my views on these kind of films. I have learned a lot about how Filipinos fought for independence and how some Filipinos fought for their own, selfish desires. Kudos to all the casts that brought justice to their characters! Hoping to see more of films related to the Philippines history!!!
