Production
Director Ben "M7" Yalung of Cine Suerte announced in July 1989 that he will produce a film adaptation of the June 8 incident, having consulted with both Western Police District chief Alfredo Lim and Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) chairman Manuel Morato regarding his intention.[4] Phillip Salvador was originally cast as Lt. Col. Dimagmaliw. However, he was still on vacation and director Yalung was pressured to release the film while the incident was still of interest. As a result, Lito Lapid took over the role.[5]
Release
Jones Bridge Massacre was released in theaters in late October 1989.[6] Brig. Gen. Alfredo Lim, director of the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI), was reportedly impressed by the film's trailer alone, and thus gave his endorsement of the film.[7]
Critical response
Justino Dormiendo, writing for the National Midweek, gave Jones Bridge Massacre a positive review, praising its "engrossing" storytelling, the well-defined characterization of Aladdin, and the "gratifying" plot twist.[3] However, he still cited numerous shortcomings of the film, such as the caricatured portrayal of real life figures such as Alfredo Lim and Jejomar Binay, the presumptuous stance the filmmakers took in presenting the twist as accurate to real life, and the film's apparent exploitation of "an all-too real event" for a mass audience.[3]
