  Mac Del Rosario Correction lang po Mr Jun Ativo... it was not Gen Gregorio Del Pilar who was assassinated in Cabanatuan, it was Gen Antonio Luna... whose girlfriend was Ysidra Cojuangco.

  Gabby Lara history reveals that this man is not a true hero but a greedy elite general and traitor to his countrymen by ordering the execution of Bonifacio brothers for fear that the late Andres is a threat to his presidency bid, sa kanya minana ng mga pulitiko ntin ang gawin lahat pati ang pagpatay pra lng masiguro ang panalo...

  Jun Ativo now the truth is out. for a long time our History books were not mentioning his murders! Gen Greg del pilar got murdered also by aguinaldo and it paved the way for the cojuangco's to get rich! the coffers of the Phil Revolutionary gov't disappeared into greg's gf, the cojuangco lady. all pinoy children must know and learn the real Phil History.
