In 1898, General Luna (John Arcilla), commander of the revolutionary army, is spoiling for a fight. 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 a head even as his military decisions are met with resistance from soldiers who are loyal only to President Aguinaldo ( Mon Confiado ). Luna and his trusted comrades - General Jose Alejandrino ( Alvin Anson ) , Colonel Francisco "Paco" Roman ( Joem Bascon) , Captain Eduardo Rusca ( Archie Alemania ) , Captain Jose Bernal ( Art Acuna ) are campaign against the invading asks for reinforcements from the kawit Battalion but its commander, Captain Pedro Janolino ( ketchup Eusebio), refuse to comply because the order didn't come to the president.
Later Luna is summoned by telegram to the President headquarters in Cabanatuan. Although his officer are suspicious, Luna rides to Cabanatuan bringing only Roman and Rusca with him. Luna discovered that Aguinaldo had already left and only Buencamino remains in the office , as they exchange hated words a single shot is fired outside.
Luna investigated and encounters Janolino and his men, who attack him. Luna is shot , stabbed , and hacked rapidly to death. Roman also killed while wounded Rusca surrenders to the kawit soldiers. As ordered by Aguinaldo, Luna and Roman are buried with full military honors. The Americans acknowledge Luna as a worthy adversary, laughing at the fact that the Filipinos killed the only real General they had. " Ang kalaban ay kalaban, ang kakampi ay kalaban" - General Antonio Luna



The movie is so nice. There is a lot of cursing in the movie. But at the end Heneral Luna was killed by a filipino. He is correct about what he said tha "Ang kalaban ay kalaban, ang kakampi ay kalaban" that was a good line (Y)
