1901 - Apolinario M. Mabini leads the captured officials of the Philippine Republic who are sent to exile to Guam by the invading forces of the imperialist United States of America, nearly two years into the bloody and protracted Filipino-American War (1899-1914);
Mabini, Generals Artemio Ricarte, Maximo Hizon, Pio del Pilar, and
Malolos Congress delegate Pablo Ocampo were among the 57 Filipino
patriots who have defiantly refused to swear allegiance to the Bald
Eagle flag and have openly sympathized with the continued resistance
movement against the invader Americans; enemy Gen. Arthur MacArthur
decreed the deportation of the revolutionary statesman Mabini, the
Philippines' first Prime Minister, Gen. Ricarte and the rest and are
thus punished with exile, leaving Manila aboard the the U.S. Transport Rosecrans.
