Maid in Malacañang watch online

Maid in Malacañang is a 2022 Filipino period drama film written and directed by Darryl Yap. The film is a fictional retelling of the Marcos family's last three days in Malacañang Palace before they were forced to be exiled to Hawaii during the People Power Revolution in 1986. The film stars Cesar Montano, Cristine Reyes, Diego Loyzaga, Ella Cruz and Ruffa Gutierrez as the Marcos family, alongside Karla Estrada, Elizabeth Oropesa and Beverly Salviejo.

Marketed by Viva Films as "the most controversial film of the year", Maid in Malacañang has been met with numerous controversies surrounding the film's subject matter since it was first announced, which critics assert as a potential to distort the history of the Marcos regime and the People Power Revolution. The filmmakers, however, defended their film, arguing that the film only intends to highlight the Marcoses' perspective without negating established facts. The film premiered at SM North EDSA on July 29, 2022, and was released nationwide on August 3, 2022, followed by a limited worldwide release.

Upon release, the film received a generally negative reception, with certain scenes garnering much controversy over misrepresentations or lies as well as reviews criticizing Yap's direction and screenplay, production, acting, cinematography, and pacing. The film is intended to be the first in a trilogy about the Marcos family, with a sequel, Martyr or Murderer, released on March 1, 2023.
