The Gunsmiths of DanaoUpdated at Nov 3, 2025, 14:08
Set against the backdrop of the Philippine-American War in Danao, Cebu, The Gunsmiths of Danao tells a powerful story of love, loyalty, and resistance.
Celestino Ramirez, a master gunsmith, and Franklin Cornelius, an American soldier, once fought side by side against Spanish rule—brothers-in-arms bound by trust. But as the war shifted direction and the American flag rose over the Philippines, their bond fractures under the weight of conquest.
Amid the chaos stand Carlo, Celestino’s loyal apprentice, and Marget, Cornelius’s brave young daughter—once childhood friends, now bitter enemies. As tensions deepen, their clashing beliefs battle with their stirrings of forbidden affection.
As the conflict between two nations intensifies, the gunsmiths must choose: love, friendship, or resistance in the name of freedom.Witness a forgotten chapter of history through the eyes of those who forged weapons!
Ecclesiastes 3:1, 8 (NIV)
"There is a time for everything and a season for every activity under the heavens... a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace."
