ThemeEmbrace history to discover and recreate this heroic siege unknown to many
June 27, 1898, Baler, Principe District, Luzon Island (Philippines). With the arrival of the Filipino insurgents from the Katipunan and in the midst of the Spanish-American War, a Spanish detachment made up of 53 soldiers and the local priest took refuge behind the walls of the town church, remaining completely isolated. Thus began one of the longest sieges in history that lasted 337 days, where the Spanish, despite suffering so many hardships, defended the last Spanish overseas position with great heroism. It would not be until June 2, 1899, when the act of capitulation was signed. Discover and enter a siege so unique to this exciting. Heroes of Baler On April 27, the US fleet of the Asiatic Squadron, commanded by Commodore Dewey, left Hong Kong for the Philippines. On May 1, he reached Manila Bay and defeated the Spanish fleet, commanded by Admiral Montojo, resulting in its entirety being sunk. The Cavite arsenal and plaza surrendered to the Americans the next day. The Battle of Cavite marked the beginning of the end of the Spanish presence in the Philippines. On May 19, Aguinaldo returned to the Philippines on a US ship to lead the revolution, which spread throughout the island of Luzon. At the end of May, news reached Baler about the start of the war against the United States and the defeat of the Spanish fleet in Cavite. These were some of the last news received by land from abroad since the rebels prevented the passage of news through the mountains. The Spanish in Baler were completely cut off. The Filipinos tried at all costs to demonstrate to the Spanish detachment that the war had ended, but despite the numerous attempts at parliament that occurred during the months of siege, the Spanish refused to capitulate and surrender the plaza outright. After numerous attacks and attempts to take over the church by the Filipinos, it would not be until the morning of June 2 when Martín Cerezo began to reread the newspapers that Aguilar had left behind and those, he thought were Filipino forgeries in order to confuse them. for them to give up. In one of them, he found a small review that made him see that the newspapers were true, as well as his news: he realized that the war was over and that there was no point in continuing to fight. The review, within the section of military destinations, was the announcement of the new destination in Malaga of the lieutenant of the scale of the Infantry reserve Francisco Díaz Navarro. Martín Cerezo had coincided with the officer, of whom he was a close friend, before he was assigned to Cuba. Díaz had told him that at the end of the campaign he planned to request a transfer to the Andalusian capital, where his girlfriend and her family lived, so Martín Cerezo accepted the news as true and, by extension, all the newspapers and news that Aguilar had left for the that finally, that same day, the capitulation of the Spanish detachment took place.
