to die like this


(November 14, 1875—December 2, 1899)

despite the humiliation of being left to rot on the roadside for 2 days after his death in Tirad Pass, Gregorio Del Pilar commanded the respect of both his countrymen and the American enemy. he had the courage and honor to lay down his life for what he believed in, unlike the popular soldier with whom he shared a first name, and who wasted his opportunity and disgraced his uniform.

anybody want to make a proper movie of his life? where's Raymond Red? Kidlat Tahimik? Mel Chionglo? (oops) Peque Gallaga? (double ooops)
