Pagulayan

Pagulayan is a 2023 Gordican biographical drama film directed by Pierre Lam and written by Raymond Ramiro and Gregory Chuan, all of whom produced the film alongside Selena Yan. It follows Pablo Pagulayan, the 16th president of Gordica, through his single term from 2009 to 2013. Jojo Lee stars in the lead role, while Domingo, Nathan Liu, Bruce Tong, Cristian Mangubat, Evelyn Ferrera, and Bruno Montoya star in supporting roles.

In July 2018, GMPC Pictures confirmed that it had begun working on a then-untitled biographical film about Pagulayan. Principal photography took place in Bohamo from June to September 2022. Pagulayan sparked controversy in late 2021 when it was announced that Jojo Lee—who is of, , and origin—as the  main character, and the issue worsened with the release of the trailer in January 2023. The film later garnered further controversy due to renewed sexual misconduct allegations against Lam which led to him being fired from the project, supposed right-leaning bias due to Pagulayan being a member of the Rightist Party, underrepresentation of Gordica's ethnic minorities, and criticisms from people close to Pagulayan for sensationalizing the Pagulayan years.

Pagulayan was released on August 18, 2023. Controversy aside, the film was met with mixed reception, as reviewers criticized its casting, writing, direction, runtime, and obvious budgetary restrictions.
