Wiki.

Dalagang Bukid (English: Country Maiden) is a 1919 Filipino silent film. Directed by José Nepomuceno, it is recognized as the first full-length Filipino produced and directed feature film. An adaptation of the Tagalog sarsuwela of the same name by Hermogenes Ilagan, the film stars Atang de la Rama and Marceliano Ilagan, both of whom reprise their roles from the original sarsuwela production.

All of Nepomuceno's films, including Dalagang Bukid and its sequel La Venganza de Don Silvestre, are lost.
