Last 14th of August 2015, Dakila together with its company artists, organized the forum on Bayani Ba To? Heroism for Millenials at Asia Pacific College.

Dakila cultivates one's innate heroism, organizes communities of heroes, and creativity fosters social involvement by building one's capacity to make change, influencing individuals and groups to be part of the movement for change, and taking on advocacies and social concerns to bring about strategic actions that make real change.

That day, I had no idea at all that there is a forum about History "stuffs." Mr. Ramos, our prof in History subject this last 1st term told to us that we need to go in auditorium. And all of the class “yey! no history subject!” “No class” shouted in their mouth. John Arcilla, Jerold Tarog and Xiao Chua are part of the talk that’s why it made the students alive. 

Xiao Chua ( a well-known great speaker and professor from the University of the Philippines) has a twist (joking around while teaching us) in discussing pictures of the Philippine Heroes. 

In the end, the talk convinced me to watched the movie. I found out that this movie is atypical from other history movies that I've watched before. A movie that has a twist. A history movie that will never get you bored and fall asleep. Well, thanks for this Forum because weI watched the 15 minutes clip of the movie that absolutely convinced me to watch it. 

September 23, 2015, the day I watched Heneral Luna together with my friends. Some of my friends says “History again? Duh it’s boring” But I convinced them to watch the movie because of my explanations that I already watched the 15 minutes of the movie and it’s atypical from usual history movies that we’ve been watched.

After the movie, I and my friends got many things that strike in our minds. Know why? because we found so many things about Heneral Luna. He was a scientist, he was a brilliant writer, he was an expert marksman and martial artist, he and Rizal almost had a duel, and he wanted a pre-emptive strike on the American.

Until now, me and my friends loved to joked around saying “Artikulo Uno” because the article says, if you don’t follow the Heneral you will murdered.

But the very thing that marked on our mind is who killed Heneral Luna? Because according to history, until today no one knows the killer and no one has a proof that killed Heneral Luna. The movie is so meaningful, surprising the rest amazing!

I read that Critically acclaimed biopic "Heneral Luna" has so far raked in over P230 million at the box office, making it one of the country's highest-grossing films to date.
