1899 - One year and nearly ten months into the protracted Filipino-American War (1899-1914), imperialist military officer Arthur. MaArthur reports from Bayambang, Pangasinan as to Col. J. Franklin Bell's encounter with the Filipino freedom fighters led by Generals Luciano San Miguel and Jose Alejandrino; the series of battles occurred in a mountain west of Mangatarem, with the native forces forced to scatter and the pale-skinned enemy invaders being able to capture all all their quick-firing and Krupp guns, ammunition, powder factory and arsenal, with thousands of pounds of lead and sheet copper, all their transportation, engineering tools, clothing, and food supplies; Bayambang, Pangasinan would be the last seat of the Philippine Republic that Aguinaldo left on November 13 in his march towards Isabela; days earlier, the towns of Vigan in Ilocos Sur and Bayombong in Nueva Ecija have fallen to the vile imperialist Bald Eagle forces.
