Production
[edit]"Ronnie [Poe] is my only choice. Not only because he happens to be the long-time movie king and my favorite actor, but more of his screen impact. I believe Ronnie truly projects a man of principles, a fearless fighter of the oppressed which I fought for when I was active in service.
—Juanito Lagasca[1]
Retired officer Juanito Lagasca gave his approval to a film adaptation of his story once George Pascual of GP Films assured that Fernando Poe Jr. was cast in his role.[1]
