Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Kontrabando ("Contraband" in English, obviously), is a 1950 Filipino film, produced by then-dominant local studio LVN Pictures, directed by Gregorio Fernandez (who also happens to play the Big Bad crime boss).It follows the mission of Diego Malvar or also named Lt. Diego Magtanggol, a military intelligence agent working for the Philippine government—in local terminology, a "G-2 operative", played by 1950s movie star Jaime dela Rosa (brother to the more famous matinee idol and later Philippine Senator/Ambassador Rogelio dela Rosa), as he's tasked with infiltrating a notorious criminal syndicate in the business of narcotics and arms trafficking. He does it rather successfully for the most part.This piece is a rather heavy-handed piece of government propaganda characteristic of the era it was made in; a time when American political influence hung deep and dark over the newly, but nominally, "independent" Philippine republic, and was constantly convincing its leadership that a Communist threat was constantly hanging over the country, and needed to be stopped at all costs.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The full movie is viewable online on this site. | |

Far-East Asian Terrorists | |
| Kontrabando / int_ad5d1f12 | comment |
Far-East Asian Terrorists: The Chinese Communists are depicted without sympathy as this. The rest of the gang could count too, both Catholic northerners and Muslim southerners, except that they're not terrorists in the strict sense of the word (i.e., with political motive), although it's strongly implied they'd gladly help overthrow the "legitimate" (i.e. U.S.-backed) Philippine government. Also, more strictly speaking they'd be Southeast Asian terrorists. | |
