On February 22, a film entitled Amigo written and directed by John Sayles will be screened at 5:30 pm in the Cine Adarna (U.P. Film Center).
The film centers on Rafael Dacanay, cabeza of the barrio of San Isidro in a rice-growing area of Luzon. His brother Simón, head of the local guerilla band, has forced the surrender of the Spanish guardia civil outpost and charged Rafael with the task of imprisoning the Guardia Captain and t...he baryo’s Spanish friar, Padre Hidalgo, in the name of the revolutionary government. But when the American troops chasing General Aguinaldo arrive, the Spanish officer and Padre Hidalgo are freed, and a garrison under the command of Lieutenant Ike Compton is left to ‘protect’ the barrio. The American occupation policy now changes from ‘hearts and minds’ to ‘concentration’ (what was called ‘hamletting’ during the Vietnam War) and Rafael has to answer to both the Americans and the Filipino patriots, with deadly consequences.
There will be a forum with Director John Sayles after the screening. Students and other audience are encouraged to ask questions regarding the film.

Wow!I think this rank does not belong to the 1898 army.....This could be a part of the rank system of the early 1897 Philippine Army of Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo.....

Perry,
I dont think Mang Simon belong to that group of Filipino's who settled in the Louisiana bayou's in america(The Manilamen)....According to Richard, his lolo Simon Negrito were still in the Philippines, possibly in Abay where he possibly encountered the 9th US Cavalry who at that time were stationed at that place in a considerable time......

Wow!!
Richard, baka naman dahil sa kanyang natatanging talento(pagiging musikero)kaya siya nakapasok agad sa US Cavalry....Maybe they badly needed a musician at that time and since that he was a good musician(perhaps an excellent musician)they absorbed him in the US cavalry band(just speculating on this)...he he he

Bonifacio Mariano Street (shortened to "B. Mariano St.") in San Mateo, Rizal Province, named in honor of the Filipino who fired the shot that killed General Lawton Thanks for the interest sir, Yes he was the one named by early Katipuneros in San Mateo as the one who shot and killed Gen. Henry Lawton in the battle of San Mateo(Thread 2 of this topic with some photo's and documents) Unfortunately for this hero, he was not recognized by our historians because of this simple reasoning; "Could be, but there is no official documentation on the identity of the sniper who killed Lawton. So credit goes to Gen Licerio Geronimo who led the Filipino forces. It was uncanny that Lawton was involved in the capture of the Apache chief Geronimo in 1886 and was killed in the Philippines by the men of Gen Geronimo. Will post pix of the Lawton funeral when I find them--Ambeth Ocampo" So sad actually, imagine dying for the freedom of those people na di ka naman kinilala at kinikilala...In 1969 a certain Tata Purong and Capt. Celedono Salamat(Both old Katipuneros in San Mateo)named Bonifacio Mariano as the one who shot and killed Gen. Lawton....The remarks of sir Ambeth Ocampo(the remarks was made on his facebook account)would gave an impression to others that the story was not true.....O baka di nga naman kasi talaga totoo yung kwento.....Pero ang problema, they have the chance(early historian)to verify the claim(during the early days)but they did not do so... Here's some facts: 1. A certain William Colombe of 4th US Cavalry(Body guard of Gen. Lawton)said that the sharpshooter who shot Gen. Lawton was also shot dead on his position at the top of a tree. 2. The Filipino stories also said that the one who shot Gen. Lawton(Bonifacio Mariano)was also died in that battle...(what a co-incidence)

Macky, Kevin, and JXM, I've been following the discussions here for quite sometime and I must admit a picked up tons of info. Salamat po... Thank you very much.. In my own desire to further my knowledge I end up reading about Lawton's Laguna de Bay Campaign, Gen. Cailles and the Battle of Mabitac. I'm from Santa Cruz, Laguna, Gen Cailles tomb is near our Subdivision and my Mom used to worked in Mabitac. Her Family is from Famy and Santa Maria, adjacent town of Mabitac not unlikely to be a place for Phil Army's Movement. So you see this is kinda indirectly important and interesting topic to me. Just some points. 1. It will be interesting to have an access to " Philippine Insurrection (Revolution)" Records. 2. The Lopez Museum I believed contained a substantial amount of Filipiana books. 3. Our very own National Archives which I think was housed now in National Museum. 4. Post War (1945 ) Masteral and Doctoral (unpublished dissertations and thesis) papers of some notable Universities will be very good I think if we can find related works. They must have an access to living Veterans to interview. 5. Gen. Aguinaldo lived long enough to affect I think written History. You will not write anything that will directly or indirectly tarnish the name of the President do you? 6. Most of available 'Memoirs' of our Heroes contradict themselves and some established known facts. Just a thought... Lawrence P.S. Keep it up guys.... Lawrence, Nice to hear your interest on this subject. Richard, Kevin and me started this research a few years ago, we exchange information and we accumulated lots of information about Gen. Licerio Geronimo, Battle of San Mateo and the Tiradores Dela Muerte from books, newspaper article and American accounts.(official and personal)hope of finding more and bring a much clearer picture of the battle(Battle of San Mateo) Kevin, The real battle between the Americans and the Licerio Geronimo Brigade and its Tiradores is not in San Mateo but in marikina and San Francisco Del Monte.(area of operation of the third zone which is under the command of Gen. Licerio Geronimo) In Marikina, the first Colorado Volunteers encountered for the first time the rear guard of Gen. Geronimo the Tiradores Dela Muerte 110 men strong(by Republican Army Standard)firing in a hill(most probably in ateneo Loyola heights)1000 yards from the American position(at the edge of santolan road overlooking markina valley most probably in Camp Aguinaldo or in a small camp Atienza below near the Marikina river. They reported heavy casualty on their side with names of their dead and wounded.. See our documents "campaign of San Mateo" labeled as "C" Headquarters of 11th Cavalry pumping station and the description of the first Colorado Volunteers on their post at the edge of the santolan road overlooking marikina. Check this book, available now in the web, it contains the exploit of Gen. Licerio Geronimo Brigade and its Tiradores Dela Muerte: "Colorado Volunteers infantry in the Philippine war 1898-1899" by Geoffrey Hunt Let me hear your opinion on this Macky .

Friends; Thankyou for all of you especially those who had attended & did their efforts to be in uniform which added the impact on our over-all presentation. Saan ka makakakita ng lecture na may live visual aids??? Satin lang. SUMMARY : > The target audience were the ones who had attended the seminar, not just passers by who care nothing about the subject. The audience were historians, hard core collectors, distinguish guests like the Lopez Family, etc... Presidents of Filipiniana company / libraries, professors, PHD experts in the subject, history, social studies teachers, mediamen from Daily Bulletin, etc...military men, The National Museum, the AFP Museum & Phil. Army Museum curators / staffs, the Spanish friends from Fundacion Santiago & other foreigners like Spanish, Indians, Koreans, Americans,..etc. Its an honor to have guest like this - hindi sila basta basta. > Nung simula ng lecture kinabahan ako, yung naka-upo sa harap na matanda, kasama yung Pres. ng Silahis Filipiniana shop sa Intramuros (Robert Lane), atat na atat at di makali parang gustong magtanong, Inisip ko, naku mukha yatang matindi ito ah,.. mapapalaban ata ako ng question & answer dito ah... he-he. During Question & answer, nasagot naman yung mga tanong nya. Nung thingytail, sabi nya sakin, he agrees that Battle of Pulang Lupa is really a 100% Filipino victory, but he does not agree with me that the Battle of Balanggiga is a Filipino victory, but rather a masacre since the Americans were having breakfast. In the back of my mind I like to tell him "No, its a victory. Its not necessary that your enemy must be ready before you fight, its not a gentlemen's war. Even Gen. Hudson defeated the Mexicans while they were at rest & not ready to fight. When bombers bomb their targets, do they call their enemy to prepare? So IT'S A FILIPINO VICTORY!!!" Kaso I just smiled & said thank you instead, kasi kung pinatulan ko, baka atakihin sa puso yung matanda at kasalanan ko pa he-he-he. > We can notice the participation of the audience, everybody focus in listening, they were very alive (not bored). I answered 1 question then told them later nalang yung question after the presentation since I have limitied time. So after the presentation, maraming nag Question & answer & well answered naman at di naman tayo napahiya he-he. I told Chaco to tell the people to start the thingytail party while continuing the question & answers & sharing. The feeling was great answering their questions because it shows that they have the same interest as ours & they really love the subject / topic. The great number of questions show how interested they are at nakaka-pag-pataba ito ng puso. > A man I believe its Emmanuel Encarnacion (with Richard Lopez on his side), showed me & offer me to photo copy (but limited time) the original documents of Gen. Luna, , Spanish, Phil. Revol. Officers... about the official order & other docs related to the uniform. He gave me 2 posters of the figurine of the Filipino Revol. Soldier. Maybe I'll set an apointment with him separately to photo copy his original documents he offer. I want to call Macky since he is an expert & very interested in written history, but Macky was also entertaining other audience (Prof. & Doctors from other schools). > Richard Lopez told me that he have lots of collections as shown on my lectures like the Spanish Remington Rifle, Mauser, including the instructions of how to assembly / disassembly, clean, operate, etc... the rifle written in a large fabric (which I've seen from books) & officers collar insignias since their lolo's were colonels & majors during the Phil. Revol. He told me he didn't know all of these, until he saw our lecture. Hiya naman akong kunin yung number nya, kasi sabi nya he'll remember my cell# & contact me. > Library owners like Mario Feir really ask the group to visit their library at Fort Bonifacio since there are lots of photographs there that we need to study & he believe malaki matutulong nya satin. Its 2x already that he encouraged us to visit the library, one was last Dec 3 opening. > The reenactors recevied from the National Museum the Certificate of Appreciation from both Dec 3 & Jan 16 reenactment participation. SOME OF THE COMMENTS : > They all felt great with our presentation, which I can see from their expressions, Mrs. Purisima Johannot of the Lopez Balayan Group congratulated & thanked us after the lecture. > Richard Lopez also said, he liked so much our last message "God made us a Filipino not by chance, but by purpose. So let's do our duty to make our nation great & let our heroes feel that they didn't died in vain. - BNK" > Some commented that this is just our hobby & we are not professionals in this field, having other own work like call center agents, engineer, etc... but they wonder why, how come our group knows allot of these things. The audience were very much impressed. During the thingytail party, Macky, Jojo, the rest of us even answer the audience inquiries, which the inquiries were intelligent questions since these audience were also experts in history. Buhay na Kasaysayan & Phil Scout Heritage Society group really gained respect on that occassion. I congratulated all of you for our combined efforts!!!! Sa uulitin. Friends - pls. attach your photos from your camera during this event. I';ll send mine through e-mail since I have no access in placing photos on the forum. Mabuhay; Perry Perry, Please!! sama mo ko pag meet mo sila uli, gusto kong makita mga regulation ni Luna tungkol sa mga uniforms..--macky

Yes Veevee 1000 yards, I think thats how they got their name "Dela Muerte", "deadly shooters' or "shooters of death". Imagine they were deadly at 1000 yards, what if an american walks much closer, what do you think will happen?(Well I guess death will surely come...) Ooops! what I mean here guys is that there was a reported "hit" at 1000 yards. Of course it was an "ala tiamba shot"(lucky shot)but the degree and the figures nung patama mukhang mataas. Mukhang aral nga sila(Tiradores dela muerte)kasi sa mga nababasa ko tungkol sa exploit nila madalas sa umaga(morning) at hapon lang sila namamaril kung saan payapa ang hangin(mukhang kino-consider nga nila yung galaw ng hangin)he he he...

Mr. Combs,
I agree with Paolo that the shoulder strap that was based on the Philippine flag was not pre-1898. I think the exact period was during the return of Aguinaldo in the Philippines until the appointment of Gen. Antonio Luna as Supreme Commander of the Army.(During his time he ordered the standardization of the uniform of the republican army---Philippine Rayadillo---)
Or perhaps, those who wear this shoulder strap was a distinctive command who wears a distinctive uniform.(Emilio Aguinaldo's Personal bodyguard, the "Kawit Battalion" wears a distinctive red trouser uniform. Perhaps the shoulder strap was part of their distinct uniform since the Philippine flag was Aguinaldo's symbol--just speculating on this)

That was not entirely the case, Here are some words from Ginoong Dumindin webpage explaining that Sakay has the support of the Filipino masses from morong, Laguna, batangas and cavity.
"Sakay and many of his followers favored long hair, something strange for his era. This affectation was exploited by the Americans in their efforts to portray Sakay and his men as wild bandits. The Tagalog Republic enjoyed the support of the Filipino masses in Morong, Laguna, Batangas, and Cavite. The Philippine Constabulary continually complained of municipal authorities cooperating and abetting Sakay."
Those collection of names and testimonies were taken from spies and pro-American Filipino's which is at that time they(Sakay and his men)considered as traidor sa inang bayan.
"Sakay taxed merchants, farmers, and laborers ten percent of their income. He ordered those who could pay but refused to do so to be arrested and put to work. Suspected informers were liquidated, tortured or had their ears and lips cut off as a warning to others."
Evidence of this support of the masses to Sakay was seen on the counter insurgency technique employed by the Americans on the area were sakay received strong support and assistance.
"The Philippine Constabulary and the U.S. Army employed "hamletting" or reconcentration in areas where Sakay received strong assistance. This cruel counter-insurgency technique proved disastrous for the Filipino masses. The forced movement and reconcentration of a large number of people caused the outbreak of diseases such as cholera and dysentery. Food was scarce in the camps, resulting in numerous deaths." Philippine-American War 1898 -1902(The last Holdout) By. Arnaldo Dumindin

Let me explain myself in filipino my freind..
Isa ka ngang tunay na makabayan Kevin, walang duda pinahanga mo ako. Paumanhin kaibigan, akala ko ay isa ka sa mga Pilipinong dino-diyos ang mga sinasabi ng mga amerikano sa kanilang mga "Official Report".
Di ko sinabi kaibigan na "Unreliable yung mga Official Report ng mga Amerikano" ang sinabi ko ay "we cannot rely to much" kasi nga may nais silang idiktang mga "Polisiya" na naging dahilan ng pagiging mga bandido ng ilang supposed to be Bayani natin.
Akoy walang anuman laban sa mga amerikano, naniniwala akong sa pangkalahatan ang mga amerikano ay mga taong mapagmahal sa kalayaan at kapayapaan(Peace and freedom loving people)nagkataon lamang na naniniwala akong may pagkakamaling nagawa ang mga amerikano noong 1898 ng wasakin nito ang kaunaunahang pagtatangka ng mga Pilipino na magsarili at mamahala.(Its a mistake which for me is unjust, unfare and unreasonable. Providence gave them independence in 1700 why not gave it to the filipinos in 1898?)
Hanggang ngayon si Sakay ay isa pa ring bandido sa ating kasaysayan. bakit? dahil sinabi ng mga amerikano, dahil sinabi ng official report ng mga amerikano.
Malabo ng malaman ang side ni sakay, pero kung susuriin ang kanyang intensyon at patriotismo maaaninag mo na di niya magagawa ang mga bintang ng mga amerikano.
Paumanhin kaibigan sa aking maling akala.
mabuhay ka Kevin isa ka ngang modernong Rizal(Dimasalang)ipagpatuloy mo ang iyong ginagawa.
Rgds,
Macky
