General Luna Page #3

---

only from you, Mister President.

We can t afford to lose anyone.

Don't worry, Tomas.

They will all be reinstated.

Thank you, Mister President.

We have to do something about

that crazy Luna.

The Caviteanos honor is at stake.

These are my fellow Caviteanos.

They fought with me in Kawit.

I agree we need

discipline in our

ranks but the way

he carries it out.

The humiliation.

The factis Lunais still useful.

I cant figure him out.

What do we do with him?

Support him.

We still share the same goals.

Is there anything we can do?

But his arrogance.

Have you ever tried

to catch the wind?

They say that you area war monger.

Why not compromise?

Would it not be easier?

I detest war, Joven.

But compromise?

Can we simply ignore the enemy?

The Americans are not going

to stop soon.

Our forces will eventually run out.

That s why we have to prepare

our last stand.

The plan is sound, General.

These trenches were

planning to dig

north of Bagdad

river will hold up.

But the trenches from Caloocan

to Novaliches are more important.

While the Americans are busy fighting,

we will retreat North.

General.

Yes?

First, we Do not have enough men

to dig a trench line that long.

We need at least 2,000 volunteers

with shovel sand

pickaxes to start with.

Second, I do not

think the President

will agree to such

an ambitious plan

especially the trench line

from Caloocan to Novaliches.

Three days.

Sir?

Give me three days.

Major.

Captain.

The Americans know why we have

to fight for our liberty.

They fought ferociously for theirs.

Are we different from them?

So we don't have

the same right to Liberty?

That is what makes their aggression

toward us inexcusable.

Fall in!

Article One:

any person who refuses

to follow orders

dictated by the General in chief

of the Philippine Army

will be shot without trial.

Ready?

I'm sorry, General.

Are we going home?

We have three more camps to visit.

With all due respect, sir.

It's midnight.

Then ride fast, my brother.

General.

General.

Good morning, Paco.

You look like you came from battle.

Breakfast?

Yes. There's breakfast ready.

Not for me.

For them.

Two thousand?

Four.

Four?

Halt!

Captain.

Thank you for offering to help.

We had no choice.

He threatened to shoot us all

if we didn't come with him.

Some of the men

have begun calling him

General Article One.

General, we need to send men

and ammunition to Bataan.

I have three reserve platoons

in Bulacan.

They can ride tomorrow.

With all due respect, they need

to reach Bataan before Sunday.

My men cannot fly, Paco.

Take command of the camp, General.

What are you going to do?

I will get us a train.
