28 NOVEMBER
1899 - Nearly ten months into the bloody and protracted Filipino-American War (1899-1914), Bayombong, Nueva Vizcaya surrenders to the invading enemy Americans led by Lt. Monroe of the Fourth; Monroe commands the advance party of the 50 Bald Eagle soldiers on Carranglan train, two days after Vigan, Ilocos Sur fell as well to the imperialist North American invaders; about two years earlier, the Americans deceptively began positioning themselves as "ally" to the Filipino cause of independence against the yoke of Spanish colonization, which eventually led Philippine leader Emilio F. Aguinaldo to stupidly allow the infamous Mock Battle of Manila that false that falsely showed to the world that it is the Americans and not the Filipinos that have defeated the colonial Spaniards in the Southeast Asian archipelago.
1909 - Imperialist American Gen. John J. Pershing is appointed military governor of the major island of Mindanao, nearly 10 years and 10 months into the protracted and bloody Philippine-American War (1899-1914); also referred to as "Black Jack," Pershing, who earlier either was sent or requested transfer to the Philippines in the first year of the Fil-Am War as U.S. Army Captain, would later be known for helping inflict "thousands of civilian casualties" during the extensive military operations against Filipino Muslims on Jolo; he will be the subject of a supposed legend--of having crushed tenacious Muslim resistance to imperialist American rule by the threat of contaminating their bodies with dirty pig blood before or while killing them and even wrapping their dead bodies with pigskin before burial.
