DAKILA Philippine Collective for Modern Heroism through its Active Vista Human Rights Film Festival Program and Xavier Center for Culture and the Arts (XCCA) will hold a forum titled “Bayani Ba’To? Heroism for Millennials” on July 10 from 10 am to 12 noon at the Centrio Mall Cinema 2.  

This event promotes Philippine History and modern-day heroism through a lecture preview of the film “Heneral Luna.”  Admission is free.

DAKILA and “Heneral Luna” bring us filmmaker and director Jerrold Tarog and cast Ketchup Eusebio, as well as renowned historians as resource speakers to give the audience insights on Philippine history and heroism. The forum aims to impart the value of heroism to students using lessons from history. It aims to show that the deeds of our heroes are not hackneyed fables but real, breathing examples of how to live our lives.

“Heneral Luna” is about the life of one of Philippine History’s most brilliant military men, General Antonio Luna, as he tries to lead his countrymen against colonial masters new and old, and to rise above their own raging disputes to fulfill the promise of the Philippine Revolution.

“Bayani Ba ‘To” thanks DAKILA, Xavier University, Xavier University High School, XU IS/POL SCI and History Department, Capitol University College of Arts and Sciences, Centrio Mall, Ayala Cinemas and Xavier Center for Culture and the Arts
