The heroics of slain Philippine Army soldier Corporal Frederick Villasis will be featured by television program “Magandang Gabi Pilipinas” in the government-owned channel PTV4.
The production team of the program brought several actors to Tapaz, Capiz last week to shoot scenes in Barangay Lahug.
Among the actors were Jerome Ponce, Neil Coleta, Martin Escudero, and Mon Confiado.
Photos of the actors in Philippine Army uniform were shared on Facebook. It was unclear who among them was assigned to portray Villasis whom rebels shot to death in August.
Mayor Roberto Palomar was seen accompanying the actors and “Magandang Gabi Pilipinas” program producer/director Caesar Soriano.
It was unclear when “Magandang Gabi Pilipinas” would broadcast its feature on Villasis.
Villasis, assigned at the 12th Infantry Battalion (12IB), was the leader of the Philippine Army “left-behind” force when their Community Support Program (CSP) in Barangay Lahug ended in March.
CSP is a people-centered program to bring peace and development to conflict-affected barangays. It brings the government closer to the people through the immediate delivery of basic services.
On Aug. 11, 2021 while on his way to the town’s municipal hall with two other village officials to follow up on development projects for the barangay, the soldier was snatched by a group of New People’s Army (NPA) rebels.
He was later fatally shot three times with his hands tied behind his back.
“You showed no mercy in killing my husband. We have two small children,” cried Shella Villasis, directing her indignation to the NPA.
The Villasis couple had an eight-year-old daughter and a three-year-old son.
Shella described the 33-year-old Villasis, who entered the military service in 2012, as dedicated to his work, a caring husband and a loving father.
