Second Battle of Caloocan Francisco Román y Velasquez (October 4, 1869 – June 5, 1899)[2] was a Filipino soldier who became a revolutionary during Philippine Revolution and Philippine–American War.
Roman had the rank of a colonel in the Philippine Revolutionary Army, and served as the close aide of General Antonio Luna.
When Luna was assassinated in Cabanatuan, Nueva Ecija, Román attempted to save him but he was also shot to death by Emilio Aguinaldo's presidential guards.
[1] While setting up his mountain headquarters in Bayambang, Pangasinan, General Antonio Luna received a telegram on June 4, 1899, from Cabanatuan, Nueva Ecija summoning him to a conference with the President Emilio Aguinaldo.
Luna, accompanied by only Román and Rusca, decided to proceed immediately to the parish convent which was used as Aguinaldo's office[4] after moving the government's capital from Malolos.
