6 - Forum: Bayani Ba'To

In August 14, 2015 the Asia Pacific College professors  held a forum namely: Bayani Ba’To (Heroism for Millenials) They let us watch the trailer of Heneral Luna (Bayani or Sarili) which was a film by Jerrold Tarog, Screenplay by Henry Hunt Francia, E.A. Rocha, Jerrold Tarog. The film was produced by E.A. Rocha and the executive producer of the film is Fernando Ortigas. The films actors are John Arcilla, Arron Villaflor, Mon Confiado, Epy Quizon, Archie Alemania, Joem Bascon, Alex Medina, Art Acuna, Nonie Buencamino, Lorenz Martinez, Ketchup Eusebio. "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. I think the trailer was really good because it really caught my attention and as a result I wanted to finish the film on October. I also think that John Arcilla did really well in acting. He actually visit the said forum and was interviewed by the students. The speaker also mentioned our previous heroes Antonio Luna, Andres Bonifacio who was once a fishermen , Jose Rizal who had many girlfriends at his time. The speaker told us that we can do ten things for our country to be a modern day hero.
1 Love your country: be proud to be Filipino
2 Be inspired by our nation's heroes and never forget their legacies.
3 Be aware of what's going on in your community, your country, and in the world.
4 Participate! Be active when you can.
5 Let your voice be heard, while listening to others.
6 Be the best at whatever you do.
7 Know your rights and fight for them if you have to.
8 Choose good leaders: be a good leader yourself regardless of the situation.
9 Extend help to your countrymen whenever needed.
10 Know your history - love it, learn it, reflect on it.

What makes someone a hero in our generation today?

                Is it the simple and little things like giving someone a food, following the rules, paying taxes and throwing your bubble gums in the right bins? Heroism happens almost everyday, in any form and shape, and just like Heneral Luna, Dakila believes that you can capture the hero in each and every Juan in a minute.
