Alipato at Muog (English: Flying Embers and a Fortress) is a 2024 Philippine independent documentary film revolving around activist Jonas Burgos who was forcibly disappeared by suspected military personnel in 2007. Burgos was a member of the Peasant Alliance of Bulacan, the Peasant Movement of the Philippines and an activist for farmers’ rights. He helped farmers organize to reclaim their land. Written, shot, edited and directed by JL Burgos, Jonas's brother, the film premiered at the 2024 Cinemalaya Philippine Independent Film Festival on August 2, 2024. The film was produced by Pulang Langgam Media Productions and distributed by GMA Public Affairs for GMA Pictures.

Alipato at Muog was initially given a controversial "X" rating by the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) for "undermin[ing] the faith and confidence of the people in their government", but was lowered down to an R-16 after protests and an appeal from Burgos. It was nominated for six awards at the 73rd FAMAS Awards, winning Best Picture and Best Director.
