| Gen. Miguel C. Malvar |
1901 - Gen. Miguel Malvar succeeds as Commander-in-Chief of the beleaguered Philippine Republic following President Emilio Aguinaldo's treacherous capture by, and hasty swearing of fealty to, the imperialist United States forces during the bloody Filipino-American War; Malvar will eventually surrender to enemy flag in 1902 after US Gen. Franklin Bell's horrific reconcentration campaign broke the back of the resistance movement in Batangas province; other Filipino guerrila leaders, such as Macario Sakay and Simeon Ola, and Muslim compatriots in the South will continue the valiant war against the heavily armed North American invaders until about 1913.
