Mistah, which is said to be a military slang for "schoolmate" within the PMA (Philippine Military Academy) community, became the title of the 1994 blockbuster action movie ng action prince na si Robin Padilla.
Malapit sa puso ni Robin ang role niyang ito dahil ang maging sundalo ang tunay na pangarap niya bago pa siya inagaw ng showbiz.
Ito ang isa sa nagsilbing pinaka-huling pelikula ni Robin bago siya nakulong for illegal possession of firearms noon ding taon na ’yon.
In Mistah, Robin plays as Sgt. Mario Cariño, who was assigned to fight Muslim rebels in Mindanao. Masalimuot ang plot ng pelikula. But basically, ipinakita sa pelikulang ito ang tapang at pagsa-sakripisyo ng mga sundalong Filipino. At dahil halos magkaubusan ng miyembro ang magkalabang pangka’t na magka-iba ang tinitindigang prinsipyo kung kaya’t nabanggit ni Robin dito ang madamdaming linyang “walang nananalo sa giyera.”
While inside the prison, Robin embraced the Muslim faith and had since converted to Islam.
The Bebong Osorio crafted action-packed movie also stars Roi Vinzon, Daniel Fernando, Rez Cortez, Jun Aristorenas, Joko Diaz, Padilla brothers Rustom and Royette, and Ana Roces as Binoe’s love interest.
And speaking of Rustom, it’s interesting to note na isa ito sa maraming action movies na nagawa niya before coming out as the transgender woman BB Gandanghari in 2009. She was officially recognized by the US Court as a woman in November 2016. Now a model and vlogger, BB resides in Los Angeles, California.
Royette, for his part, passed on from heart attack in January 2021.
