MANILA, Philippines — “Suarez: The Healing Priest” about the life of controversial healing priest Fernando Suarez is not your typical Metro Manila Film Festival fare. John ArcillaMorphing from warmonger general in "Heneral Luna" to soft-spoken healing priest, John Arcilla in "Suarez" points to a Best Actor trophy. The end result was a spot-on portrayal that it's hard to believe John and the real-life Fr. He said he did not get the chance to ask the priest himself about the controversy, but he felt he was innocent. Suarez died on February 4 before the pandemic, only three days before his birthday.
