1907
- Gen. Macario Sakay, one of the Filipino military leaders who had
continued fighting the imperialist United States invaders eight years
into the Philippine-American War (1899-1914),
is meted out the death sentence; essentially based on the ideals and
principles of the underground-society-turned-revolutionary-government Kataastaasang, Kagalanggalangang Katipunan nang manga Anak nang Bayan (KKK) during the Philippine Revolution against Spain, Sakay had established the Republika ng Katagalugan (entire
Philippines) with a popularly backed guerrilla operations in Morong,
Laguna, Cavite and Quezon in patriotic defiance of the colonial American
government, was deceived by colonial Gov.-Gen. Henry Clay Ide who made it appear that Sakay's
his surrender was necessary to give way to the election of an
all-Filipino Philippine Assembly legislature, falsely promising him and
his supporters amnesty; upon his deceptive abduction by the imperialist Bald Eagle authorities, Sakay could only exclaim to Dominador Gomez, the Filipino collaborator who helped in his trickery: "“Tell the Americans to face us in the open field, in honorable battle.”
1898 - Generals Artemio Ricarte and Pio del Pilar express their misgivings to President Emilio Aguinaldo y Famy as to the real nature of American policy
towards the Philippines; this as Aguinaldo issues a proclamation to the
United States and all foreign governments explaining the nature and
scope of the Revolutionary Government and the proclamation of country's
independence by provincial representatives, begging for the protection
of all nations of the civilized world and beseeching their formal
recognition of the state of belligerence and the independence of the
Philippines;” by February 4 the following year, the imperialist-in-the-making Bald Eagle nation will instigate the bloody and protracted Filipino-American War (1899-1914)
and will eventually successfully invade and occupy the Southeast Asian
nation until 1946 when it will "grant" the Philippines independence (but
not before ensuring its neocolonial status through through agreements and treaties aimed at manipulating and controlling Filipinos' political and economic lives.

1898 - Some nine days prior to the infamous Mock Battle of Manila that would falsely make it appear that the Americans, instead of the Filipino revolutionaries, defeated the Spanish colonial forces in the Southeast Asian archipelago and the capital, Manila, Consul Oscar F. Williams of the emerging imperialist United States cables American Secretary of State William R. Day to report that he has tried to convince Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo y Famy that American rule over the Philippines will supposedly bring greater honor, progress, and profit to the natives compared to any scheme the Filipino leader and his advisers can ever devise; Williams adds that he is on better terms with Aguinaldo than the United States military commanders are with Aguinaldo, the leader of the second phase of the Philippine Revolution who has stupidly forged an "alliance" with U.S. Admiral George Dewey and believed his and other American military and diplomatic officials' verbal deceptive promises that the Bald Eagle nation will honor Philippine independence; apparently realizing that the imperialist Americans have him duped, Aguinaldo--who weeks earlier even ridiculously instructed his men to allow the G.I.'s to freely enter the archipelago--will then try to 'negotiate' Filipinos' independence; the Mock Battle of Manila will form the prelude to the baseless December 1898 Treaty of Paris where by that time, the virtually expelled Spaniards will supposedly "cede" the Philippines to imperialist America, ultimately leading to the bloody and protracted Filipino-American War (1899-1914).

1900 - One and one-half years into the protracted and bloody period of American invasion (Filipino-American War, 1899-1914), the President of the Philippine Republic-on-the-run Emilio Aguinaldo issues a manifesto wherein he appeals to the Filipinos not to listen to native collaborators but, rather, to continue fighting without end in defence of their rights until victory against the imperialist enemy is achieved and independence won and recognized.
1901 - exactly a year later, following the capture of several officials and their subsequent swearing of fealty to the imperialist Bald Eagle nation, including Aguinaldo, Gen. Ambrosio Mojica, Gen. Vicente Lukban of the Samar-Leyte command issues a proclamation, part of which says:
1898 - In a speech at Kawit in Cavite province, Emilio F. Aguinaldo, President of the fledgling Philippine Republic, pleads with local officials to keep unity, peace, and upright conduct; the appeal comes amidst apprehensions expressed by Felipe Agoncillo and Apolinario Mabini, Aguinaldo's diplomatic official and key adviser, respectively, over the former's supposed "alliance" with the Americans, with some Filipino soldiers already thinking at that point they they might need to fight a war with the pale-skinned US forces.

"Nothing, in truth, is more natural than that we should continue the struggle, whatever be the obstacles placed in our way and despite the capture of him who was our generals;… We should let the world know that the Philippine army is captured, another at once comes forward and succeeds him; that we fight, not at the suggestion of others, but because of our own personal convictions; and that, finally, we are worthy of independence and of universal respect, because we know our rights and how to die in their defense…"
