The painting was a silver medalist (ninth silver medal award among forty-five ) during the 1884 Exposicion General de Bellas Artes in Madrid,Spain, also known as the Madrid [3][8][9][10] Exposition. According to Raquel A.G. Reyes, Hidalgo's winning the silver medal for the painting was a landmark achievement that proved the ability of Filipinos to match the work of Spaniards and laid [11] claim to Filipino participation in European culture. Regarded as one of the national treasures of the Philippines, a copy of the painting is currently housed [13] at the Philippine's Metropolitan Museum of Manila and a part of the art collection of the Bangko Sentral [6] ng Pilipinas(Central Bank of the Philippines). The original was destroyed in a fire at the University of [14] Valladolid in Spain.

Production on the film began in 1995, when Cameron shot footage of the actual Titanic wreck. The modern scenes were shot on board theAkademik Mstislav Keldysh, which Cameron had used as a base when filming the wreck. A reconstruction of the Titanic was built at Playas de Rosarito, Baja California, and scale modelsand computer-generated imagery were also used to recreate the sinking. The film was partially funded by Paramount Pictures and 20th Century Fox, and, at [2][3][4] the time, was the most expensive film ever made, with an estimated budget of $200 million.
