HENERAL LUNA

HENERAL LUNA IS ONE OF THE GREATEST PHILIPPINE HEROES, AND ONE OF OUR GREAT MEN. HE WAS THE GREATEST FILIPINO SOLDIER OF THE REVOLUTION. HE WAS THE BOTHER OF JUAN LUNA, THE FAMOUS PAINTER. ANTONIO LUNA STUDIED HOW TO BE A GOOD SOLDIER IN GERMANY. HE FINISHED HIS STUDIES AT THE TIME WHEN HIS COUNTRY BADLY NEEDED HIS SPECIAL SERVICES. HE BECAME THE SECRETARY OF WAR DURING THE SHORT LIVED PHILIPPINE REPUBLIC. HE FOUNDED A MILITARY SCHOOL WHERE HE TRAINED FILIPINO SOLDIERS. HE PREPARED THE PHILIPPINE ARMY FOR THEIR FIGHT AGAINST THE AMERICANS, WHEN THEY DEFEATED SPANIARDS. THE FILIPINOS DID NOT HAVE THE EQUIPMENT AND ARMS AGAINST STRONG AMERICAN FORCES. LUNA’S LIFE WAS NEARLY LOST IN THE BATTLE OF LA LOMA. HE DID NOT SURRENDER. HE DIED IN NUEVA ECIJA DUE TO TREACHERY OF HIS PERSONAL ENEMIES. WHEN THE TIME OF ANTONIO LUNA MUCH PEOPLE IS GETTING PISSED AND ANGRY IN HIS KIND OF LEADERSHIP TO HIS MEN. HE WAS CALLED THE “Heneralartikulouno”  BECAUSE OF THE STYLE OF HIS LEADERSHIP IN HIS COMRADE, HE WILL CALL THOSE WHO DO NOT FOLLOW HIS LEADERSHIP, TACTICS AND MOST OF ALL HIS RULES. HENERAL 
LUNA REALLY IS A BRAVE SOLDIER HE WILL DO ALL THE BEST FOR HIS COUNTRYMEN, HE CAN SACRIFICE HIS LIFE FOR HIS COUNTRYMEN HE WILL DO ALL THE BEST FOR THE GOODS OF HIS NATION. IN ALL OF THIS TRAITS OF HIS, WHY THEY EVEN HAD THE CHANCE TO KILL HENERAL LUNA? EVEN IF HIS STYLE OF LEADERSHIP CANT PROVOKE OTHERS, IT IS ONLY FOR THE GOOD OF MANY. THEN WHY CAN THEY DO THIS TO HIM, IN THE LAST PART OF THIS MOVIE HENERAL LUNA, EMILIO AGUINALDO REGRET WHAT HE DID TO HIS MOST BRAVE AND CLEVER GENERAL HE HAD WHEN FILIPINO’S IS IN DANGER IN THE HANDS OF THE AMERICANS. THE MOST INTERESTING PART OF THIS MOVIE IS WHEN HENERAL LUNA TRY TO FACE HIS ENEMIES ALONE IN THE BATTLE OF LA LOMA, HE ALMOST KILLED HIS SELF UNFORTUNATELY HE WAS LUCKY THAT HIS CIRCULAR PENDANT SHIELDED THE BULLET STRAIGHT TO HIM. I THOUGHT THAT EMILIO AGUINALDO IS CREATING A NEW INSTITUTION THAT HENERAL LUNA WILL LEAD, BUT TOTALLY IT WAS PART OF THE PLAN TO KILL HIM, IT WAS THE FIRST STEP OF THE PLAN TO KILL HENERAL LUNA. HENERAL LUNA THINKS THAT HE CAN NOW RULE HIS COMRADE, BUT IT IS’NT. HE WAS KILLED BY THE LEADER OF CAVITENIAN SOLDIERS THAT HE INSULTED LATELY IN HIS OWN CAMP THAT FORCE HIM TO HANDLE THE KILLING OF HENERAL LUNA. MANY PEOPLE DOES’NT WANT HIS STYLE OF LEADERSHIP MANY OF THEM GETS PISSED BECAUSE OF HIS MANNERS, BUT THIS CAN PROBABLY HELP OUR COUNTRY TO STAND UP AND FIGHT FOR OUR OWN COUNTRY, FIGHT FOR OURSELVES, OUR FAMILY, OUR COMRADES.
