3. Heneral Luna

Antonio Luna de San Pedro y Novicio Ancheta also known as "Heneral Artikulo Uno" or "The Fiery General" was born on 29th of October 1866, he is an Ilocano born in Manila. He was the youngest of seven children of Joaquin Luna de San Pedro, from Badoc, Ilocos Norte and Spanish Mestiza Laureana Novicio Ancheta , from Luna, La Union (formerly Namacpacan). He was the founder of the Philppine's First Military Academy, which existed during the First Philippine Republic. He was regarded as the most brilliant of the Filipino Military officer during the war.

I already have an idea about Heneral Luna because when I was in elementary and high school, my teacher told me some details about him like he was a Filipino General who fought in the Philippine-American War but when I watched the movie Heneral Luna, I learned so more facts and information about him and during that time I was impressed with his bravery and intelligence. I can say that he is a truly brilliant general.




Heneral Luna is directed by Jerold Tarog and starring John Arcilla who performed well as a Heneral Luna. I can say that he is a good actor and I was impressed with his performance in the movie. This Historical Movie is one of my favorite Historical Film because it gives us more facts and information about Heneral Luna and about his experiences during the Philippine-American War. It also showed how Heneral Luna fought for our country and what sacrifices he did for our country.This movie is not all about Heneral Luna but it also talks about what happen in that war. Another, it is also showed Luna's battles not only on the field but also against the Filipinos who betrayed him. In addition the sad thing to know is that the person who destroys you is your fellow Filipinos. Right now there are still people who really want to pull down their fellow Filipinos just to be a successful. This movie is a big help for us to understand and to realize that we must help each other, don't just only think of yourself but think about your fellow Filipinos.


Henereal Luna is a 2015 Filipino historical biopic film depicting General Antonio Luna's leadership of the Philppine Revolutionary Army during the Philppine American War. It opens with the beginning the hostilities with the American Colonizers, and ends with the assassination of  Luna on June 5,1899- a period in which Luna served as Supreme Chief of the Army under the First Phippine Republic. This is directed by Jerold Tarog and starring John Arcilla. The film has been selected as the Philippine entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at 88th Academy Awards.

  1. Heneral Luna is indeed a great hero. As of now, this was the best historical Filipino movie that I have ever watched. I'll surely watch the next film that Mr. Tarog will make. ~
