#CulturePH - History Returns to the Big Screen: “Heneral Luna” and “Goyo” Make a Triumphant Comeback This Independence Day
There’s something powerful about watching history unfold on the big screen—especially when it’s told with the passion, grit, and artistry of films like Heneral Luna and Goyo: Ang Batang Heneral. This June 12, in celebration of Philippine Independence Day, these two acclaimed historical epics are making their way back to cinemas for a limited-time screening.
Whether you’re a longtime fan or discovering them for the first time, this is your chance to experience the stories of Generals Antonio Luna and Gregorio del Pilar in all their cinematic glory. These films don’t just recount history—they ignite it, reminding us of the courage, complexity, and sacrifice that shaped our nation.
Directed by Jerrold Tarog and produced by TBA Studios, Heneral Luna (2015) and Goyo (2018) are the first two chapters in what has become known as the “Bayaniverse”—a bold, unflinching trilogy that reimagines Philippine history for a new generation. With the final installment, Quezon, set to premiere later this year, now is the perfect time to revisit the journey that started it all.
