Antonio Luna San Pedro y Novicio San Ignacio (29 October 1866 – 5 June 1899), an Ilocano born in Manila, was a Filipino general who fought in the Philippine–American War.
Regarded as one of the fiercest generals of his time, he succeeded Artemio Ricarte as Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces of the Philippines. He sought to apply his background in military science to the fledgling army. A sharpshooter himself, he organized professional guerrilla soldiers later to be known as the "Luna Sharpshooters" and the "Black Guard". His three-tier defense, now known as the Luna Defense Line, gave the American troops a hard campaign in the provinces north of Manila. This defense line culminated in the creation of a military base in the Cordillera.
Despite his commitment to discipline the army and serve the Republic which attracted the admiration of people, his temper caused some to abhor him. His efforts were not without recognition during his time, for he was awarded the Philippine Republic Medal in 1899. He was also a member of the Malolos Congress. Besides his military studies, Luna also studied pharmacy, literature and chemistry.
Explanation:
Why Is Heneral Antonio Luna is my favorite Filipino hero? It's because we've already been known the well-known heroes such as Dr. Jose Rizal and Andres Bonifacio. But, there are lots of people who don't know the other great Filipino heroes. One of those heroes is Antonio Luna also known as "Heneral Artikulo Uno" and "The Fiery General". He fought for the sake of other comrades and also for the whole country without confusing on risking his life just to prove that no one can ever rule the whole country and belittle the whole countrymen, there is a point that he don't even know that he's still alive when somebody from the American soldiers aimed and shot him. Though his very hot-tempered, things will always be done as he command just for the betterment and the safety of the whole country. If you are interested in His life try to research and be acquainted with my favorite Filipino hero. Thank you.
