Kagitingan | A True Story of Valor | Special Forces Short Film | Director's Cut

Fear is but a precursor to Valor. To find the courage and determination to achieve victory in the face of fear is what it means to be a hero.
A short film depicting the inspiring true story of Medal-of-Valor awardee, Cpt Arturo Ortiz of the Army Special Forces. It is re-enacted by actual Special Forces Operators to tell the tale as close to reality as possible.
In celebration of the Special Forces Regiment (Airborne) 58th Anniversary.
Written, Edited, and Directed by 1Lt Bala Tamayo

Mabuhay ang SAF the true warriors of Philippines 🇵🇭 kagitinfan police forces. Kung maibalik ko lng ang panahon papasok at gusto kong maging SAF. My father was a Philippine scout. A Korean War veteran. He retired as corporal. Died at 75. Am 44 now and I know can’t be in the service. I just hope that the Philippine government will bring back the military service in the country. The so called ROTC. I once finished the service back the year of 1995. After then I went here in the US. I don’t know what happened at that time. Kung pwede lng pumasok I will do it. I salute to all SAF in the service. Mabuhay po kayo! Mabuhay Philippines 🇵🇭 Mabuhay. Kayo ang tunay na kagitingan. A true warriors. A true hero.

[@jmsuan3061]
