All the hard work has paid off because the films are still aired on cable and free TV. The collection has also been listed in the MoW National Register, which can thus expand the reach of FPJ’s legacy. Senator Poe was among the custodians honored for their work in safeguarding the nine documentary heritage items that have been included in the MoW Registers.
