#Bayani (Hero)

Luis M. Taruc, though he led the HUKBALAHAP guerillas in the success of the battle against then the Japanese occupants of the Philippines had been known to be a Filipino political figure and rebel during the agrarian unrest during the 1930s took a while for him to be declared as one of the Philippines valiant heroes.

As the Commander-in-chief of HUKBALAHAP (Hukbo ng Bayan Laban sa Hapon), he led a fighting strength of guerillas estimated between 10,000 to 30,000 which had been influential in the victory against the invaders. After the war, he continued his dedication to a genuine land reform program. Until his last breath, it had been his dedication to helping his fellow Hukvets acquire the much-deserved honor and recognition for their contribution to attaining social freedom and justice.

It was in In 2017 that the National Historical Commission of the Philippines declared Luis Taruc a hero for being a "nationalist and defender of the rights of farmers and workers".

In 1953, he dictated the contents of "Born of the People" and it became a book with the help of ghostwriter William Pomeroy. The book became Nelson Mandela's reference to his peasant resistance and guerilla in South Africa.

Later in 1967, while as a Political prisoner in New Bilibid Prison, he wrote: "He Who Rides the Tiger." Allow me please to mention that the elder sister of Luis Taruc, named Paulina is the mother of my father. Their siblings played major roles too in guerilla warfare thus I can say that my bloodline runs the lineage of patriots.

My father had been Luis Taruc's trusted forerunner and harbinger especially when he was a political detainee. A legacy he left was the original manuscript of the "He Who Rides the Tiger" which had been passed on to me by my late father.
