Development



In early December 2018, Ronald dela Rosa expressed his desire for Robin Padilla and Sharon Cuneta to respectively play him and his wife Nancy if ever a film is made about him. He also has expressed his preference to have the film focus on his biography rather than his romance with his wife in particular. 'Bato' was directed by Adolfo Alix Jr.

Release



'Bato' premiered at the SM Megamall in Ortigas Center, Mandaluyong on January 30, 2019, with Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte in attendance.

Controversy



'Bato' has caused controversy for being released at the time dela Rosa was a candidate for the 2019 Philippine Senate election. The Commission on Elections has warned that dela Rosa could be disqualified if the film is still being aired in Philippine cinemas on February 12, 2019 or the official start of the campaign period for national candidates.
