On September 21, less than two months before the 175th death anniversary of Apolinario de la Cruz, a film about him (Ang Hapis at Himagsik ni Hermano Puli) has began showing and has been in more than 30 cinemas. Such is the hype for the film, which is already called the "Heneral Luna" of 2016, that its official Facebook page has more than 220,000 likes to date. The synopsis of the film is as follows (spoiler alert):
Decades before the rise of liberalism in Spanish-era colonial Philippines, a young charismatic preacher leads a movement for equality and religious freedom for his fellow native Filipinos. He is hailed as the Christ of the Tagalogs, but is sentenced to death for heresy by both Church and State.Then again, who is Apolinario de la Cruz? Known in history as Hermano Puli (Brother Puli), de la Cruz was born on July 22, 1814 at Lucban in Tayabas (now Quezon province). In 1829, he decided to become a priest. However, the secularization movement had not yet progressed at this time. This meant that natives cannot be ordained as priests in any religious order in the Philippines. Thus, de la Cruz was rejected. Three years later, in 1832, he with 20 others founded their own order. It became known as the Cofradia de San Jose. At the same time, he became known to the adherents of the confraternity as Hermano Puli. Meanwhile, support for the Filipino religious order spread from Tayabas to neighboring provinces of Batangas, Camarines Sur, Cavite, and Laguna. Renamed later as Cofradia del Senor San Jose i voto del Santisimo Rosario, membership of the order had grown to 5,000 by 1841.
Hermano Puli saw the increasing membership of the confraternity, and thus sought to gain recognition. However, he was denied and was asked by the Church to disband the order. The friars incited the colonial officials to think that Puli's following was an organization seeking to overthro

REKINDLING THE HEROISM OF HERMANO PULI
by Mark Alvin P. Jabrica
CRISTIANO, SINO CA?
“Ako si Hermano Puli, isang ‘erehe’. Huwag ninyong tutularan….”
That was the exact inscription in a “karatula” (sign board) that was put below the decapitated head of Apolinario de la Cruz, commonly known as Hermano Puli. He was executed on November 4, 1841 by a firing squad in the Plaza of Tayabas (then capital of Quezon Province).
The Spanish Military court trial was made for formality’s sake because the court already has in mind to convict and torture him to death. Puli was flogged in a public plaza in front of Casa Comunidad de Tayabas, which the Tayabas Historical Committee preserves at present. This was his death bed, where he was placed under the scorching heat of the sun for long hours. They tied him on an ant hill and was bitten by “hantik” (red ants) all over his body.
The Spanish authority quartered his corpse and disseminated in different parts of Lucban, Quezon to “warn” all Lucbanins who would refute their authority.
His head was stuck into a bamboo pole and placed in front of his house in “Daang Majayjay”, and his body, tied on the waist was hung in a mango tree somewhere in “Daang Mauban”. His arms and legs were placed in a rattan basket and hung in the old bridge near the Camatian creek.
On November 11, 1841, his body was exhumed by Juana Laqueo, his “kapisan” or lived-in partner and Braulo Laqueo, Juana’s brother. From the shallow grave, his corpse was moved to a more decent burial place in Sitio Usiwan, Barrio Palola, Lucban, Tayabas, beside the “tuklong” or the chaplet that he built near a creek.
According to historical records, Puli and Juana were married by Fr. Ciriaco delos Santos on May 15, 1840. The couple had a son but ‘did not live too long to lead the Cofradia de San Jose’.

The cofradía was established in 1832 in response to the racially discriminatory practices of the Catholic Church in the Philippines. During the Spanish colonial period, Catholic religious orders refused to admit native Filipinos as members. In retaliation, Pule established his own religious order that was exclusive for native Filipinos. During its peak, the cofradía had 4,500 to 5,000 members from the provinces of Tayabas, Batangas, and Laguna.
