HENERAL LUNA PLOT

Set during the Philippine-American war, a shorttempered Filipino general faces an enemy more
formidable than the American army: his own
treacherous countrymen.
In 1898, General Antonio Luna ( John Arcilla ),
commander of the revolutionary army, is spoiling
for a fight. The Philippines, after three hundred
years as a Spanish colony, has unwillingly come
under American rule. General Luna wants to fight
for freedom but members of the elite would rather
strike a deal with the United States. The infighting
is fierce in the new cabinet but General Luna and
his loyal men forge ahead even as his military
decisions are met with resistance from soldiers who
are loyal only to President Aguinaldo ( Mon
Confiado ). Ultimately, it is the generals legendary
temper and pride that bring him to his death when
a pack of presidential guards assassinate him in
broad daylight. While American newspapers are
quick to point the blame to Aguinaldo, the mystery
has never been completely solved and the
Generals killers were never put to justice.
