Press Release 
History is still being written. The story of Maid in Malacañang continues… 


“Martyr or Murderer”, the sequel to Darryl Yap’s Mega Blockbuster hit “Maid in Malacañang” is showing in cinemas on March 1, 2023.

“Martyr or Murderer” recounts what happened to the family before and after EDSA Revolution, a sneak peak to their life in exile, and a brave discussion on the intrigues surrounding Imee Marcos’s exploits in Morocco.

How did the ailing patriarch and his Imeldific wife carry on with their lives after being stripped of power and dignity? 


Furthermore, the film aims to provide answers to the unending hows and whys involving President Ferdinand Emmanuel Edralin Marcos and his greatest nemesis, Senator Benigno Simeon Aquino, Jr.


How did all the strife between them start? How was Ninoy Aquino perceived by the people around him? Why was his death blamed on the Marcoses? 


And all these questions lead to even bigger ones: Who is the real martyr? Who is the real murderer?


Cristine Reyes, Cesar Montano, Ruffa Gutierrez, , Diego Loyzaga, and Ella Cruz reprise their roles as Imee Marcos, Ferdinand Marcos, Imelda Marcos, Bongbong Marcos and Irene Marcos. 


Isko Moreno plays Ninoy Aquino. Jerome Ponce plays the young Ninoy. The powerhouse cast also includes Marco Gumabao as the young Marcos Sr., Cindy Miranda as the young Imleda, Elizabeth Oropesa and Beverly Salviejo as the remaining maids of the Marcos Family, and Rose Van Ginkel as Maricar, Imee’s confidante during in Morocco. Their story continues to unfold on the big screen. Watch “Martyr or Murderer” March 1 in cinemas nationwide.
