Today in Philippine History (Philatelic Edition):
MARCH 23, 1901
American General Frederick Funston successfully captured President Emilio Aguinaldo in a house in Palanan, Isabela.
His capture was a well-planned action that involved 78 Macabebe Scouts who were loyal to the Americans.
They posed as the added reinforcements to augment Aguinaldo’s forces along with the five ex-Philippine Army officers Gregorio Cadhit, Cecilio Segismundo, Hilario Tal Placido, Dionisio Bato and Lazaro Segovia.
