Luna is Aguinaldo’s best general. For me no doubt he’s the most capable and
brilliant general. No wonder Lolo Miong would appoint him as his head of the
Philippine Army. His temper made him a lot of enemies. The same goes with his
principles.

The political scientist in me once again considers Luna as the best successor to Lolo
Miong, he’s a military genius although never won a single battle, but he’s also a
military general who lacks the skill of a politician who never compromises. This is
how Aguinaldo surpasses Luna, who has the astuteness of balancing the motives,
politics and support of his cabinet and military officials. No wonder both Aguinaldo
and Luna needed one another, Aguinaldo needs Luna to win the war against the
Americans while Luna needs the support of his president to get those people whom
he had quarrels with to support his military plans. Aguinaldo knows that Luna is no
threat to him as Luna knows that Aguinaldo always backs him no matter what. That’s
a political solution.
