1855 - Mariano Llanera, future barrio chief and municipal captain, mason, patriot and general in the Philippine Revolution against Spain, is born in Aliaga, Nueva Ecija; Llanera, who would fight in the provinces of Bulacan, Pampanga, Tarlac, and Nueva Ecija, would adopt a revolutionary black flat with a white letter K on the left and a white skull atop a cross of two bones, the design of which was based from the initiation rites of the secret-society-later-turned-revolutionary-government Kagalanggalangang Katipunan nang manga Anak nang Bayan (KKK), and which Supremo Andres Bonifacio would refer to as "Bungo ni Llanera" or Llanera's Skull; Llanera, would also be known for leading the "first cry of Nueva Ecija" in Cabiao, Nueva Ecija on September 2, 1896, a victorious attack on the local Spanish government that signaled the participation of the province in the Revolution. 1937 - Tagalog is recommended to be the basis of the national language of the Philippines by the Institute of National Language during the colonial American period; the Institute, created a year earlier through Act No. 184 by the National Assembly, was given the responsibility of studying the various languages of the Southeast Asian country with the aim of evolving and developing a common national language; less than a month after the Institute submitted the recommendation, President Manuel L. Quezon would proclaim Tagalog-based Filipino as the national language of the Philippines.
