1899 - During the Filipino-American War, Pedro Paterno and Felipe Buencamino,"autonomists" dubbed by Gen. Antonio Luna as traitors to Philippine independence, present to the invader North Americans their "peace" proposals; on the same day, more than a year after the imperialist United States invaded the fledgling Philippine Republic, Gen. Arthur MacArthur, assigned to be the military 'ruler' of the Philippine Islands by the imperialist Uncle Sam, plays the propaganda game by issuing an 'amnesty' decree to the native defenders and calling the rightful war staged by Filipinos as 'insurrection' against the US.
