What happens

Alfredo S. Lim: The Untold Story is a 2013 Filipino biographical action film directed, co-written by, and starring Cesar Montano as the eponymous police general Alfredo Lim. Starring alongside Montano is Alessandra de Rossi, Nonie Buencamino, Marc Abaya, Alwyn Uytingco, Alvin Anson, Tirso Cruz III, Jackie Lou Blanco, Isabel Granada, and Kristel Romero. It is the fourth film to be based on Lim's life as a police officer, after Alfredo Lim: Manila Police (1977), Target... Police General (1989), and Alfredo Lim: Batas ng Maynila (1995). Lim offered Montano the project, who in turn was inspired to showcase events in Lim's life that have not been tackled yet in his previous biopics. Produced by CM Films, the film was released on February 27, 2013, timed to run before Lim's reelection campaign as Mayor of Manila. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
