“They should’ve waited for us.”
- Angelito (2017)
“Still outraged and furious, Luna rushed down the stairs and met Janolino, accompanied by some elements of the Kawit Battalion. Janolino swung his bolo at Luna, wounding him in the head. Janolino’s men fired at Luna, while others started stabbing him, even as he tried to fire his revolver at one of his attackers. He staggered out into the plaza where Román and Rusca were rushing to his aid, but they too were set upon and shot, with Román being killed and Rusca severely wounded. As he lay dying, Luna uttered “Cowards! Assassins!”. Luna received more than 30 wounds. He was hurriedly buried in the churchyard, after which Aguinaldo relieved Luna’s officers and men from the field, including General Venacio Concepción, whose headquarters in Angeles, Pampanga Aguinaldo besieged the same day Luna was assassinated.”
