Emilio Jacinto y Dizon |
1897 - Emilio Jacinto, Filipino patriot and revolutionary dubbed the "Brains of the Revolution," writes his masterpiece, A La Patria (To My Fatherland), five months after he elected to fight the Spaniards outside the command of the camp of Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo responsible for the coup against the leadership, and murder-by-execution, of his close friend, the Father of the Revolution, Andres Bonifacio; speculated to have been inspired by the work of patriot and polymath Jose Rizal's "Ultimo Adios," "A la Patria," written under Jacinto's pseudonym Dimas-Ilaw, is said to equal the former maybe not in literary respects but in nobility and loftiness of thought.
1899 - Imperialist United States Gen. Elwell S. Otis orders Col. Elliot and 300 marines to attack the Filipino defenders outside Noveleta, Cavite, and carry the outposts and the town two years and eight months into the protracted Philippine-American War (1899-1914); Filipinos fight the invaders with hot fire as Gen. Schwan takes Old Cavite and the vicinity of Noveleta, the enemy S.S. Patrol shells the countryside.
1902 -Two years and eight months into the protracted Philippine-American War (1899-1914) but four months after imperialist United States Theodore Roosevelt falsely announced the official end of the "insurrection," the colonial Bureau of Education is established; the Education body under the colonial government of the American invaders falls under the executive control of the Department of Public Instruction, with the provinces being organized into divisions with superintendents taking charge of various school districts under them.
