What happens

Sisa is a 2025 historical thriller drama film written, co-produced, and directed by Jun Robles Lana. It stars Hilda Koronel in her comeback film after her 13-year hiatus, with the supporting cast including Eugene Domingo, Jennica Garcia, Tanya Gomez, Barbara Miguel, and Romnick Sarmenta. Set during the last years of the Philippine-American War, the film follows a woman who went insane after seeing the aftermath of the carnage caused by the American forces, but unknown to them, this pretense is just an act of revenge. A co-production of The IdeaFirst Company, October Train Films, Quantum Films, Cineko Productions, CMB Films, and Myanmar-based Forever Group, the film had its world premiere on 20 November 2025, at the 29th Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival in Estonia, where it is part of the "Official Selection - Competition" category.
