An independent movie about the martyrdom of Pedro Calungsod, the Filipino saint who will be canonized in Rome on Sunday, will start shooting in November after months of pre-production, its writer-director has told InterAksyon.



“The preparation is really taking time. We will shoot in November through December,” Francis Villacorta said in an email interview on Saturday.

“Pedro Calungsod: Batang Martir” will star rising actor JM de Guzman, best known for his role in the ABS-CBN soap opera “Angelito: Batang Ama” as Calungsod, a Cebuano altar boy who suffered religious persecution and was murdered for his missionary work in Guam in 1672
