Venancio Concepción

Venancio Concepción was a former Filipino general under the leadership of Emilio Aguinaldo. Aguinaldo, just hours after Antonio Luna's death on June 5, 1899, relieved Luna's officers and men from the field, including General Concepción, whose headquarters in Angeles, Pampanga Aguinaldo besieged the same day Luna was assassinated.[1] During the American period in Philippine History, he was appointed as president of the Philippine National Bank, the first universal bank in the Philippines, by the American Governor-General of the Philippines Francis Burton Harrison. In 1920, he was tried and convicted of fraud.[2]
