Heneral Luna’s aftermath

I STILL love the film Heneral Luna directed by Jerrold Tarrog and written by Henry Hunt Francia, E.A. Rocha, and Tarrog, based on the work of historian Vivencio Jose.

But in the aftermath of the film’s success, given the noise it has generated, the issues it has brought to light, the criticism against it, the manner in which the people who created it have been silent (or silenced) by the more dominant voices that have been allowed to “claim” the film, I have rethought this love.
