What happens

Urduja is a 2008 Philippine animated historical fantasy film based on the legend of the warrior princess Urduja of Pangasinan. It was the first of two locally produced (in the Philippines) animated films set for release in 2008. The other, Dayo, was released as an entry for the 2008 Metro Manila Film Festival. The film was created by an all-Filipino group of animators and made using the traditional (hand-drawn) animation process. It also features an all-Filipino cast of voice actors. Urduja was released on June 18, 2008, and earned ₱20 million during its premiere, surpassing the milestone of Adarna's grossing release but still unsuccessful in getting the audience interest which resulted in loss of profit.
