Today in Philippine History (Philatelic Edition Series 2):
MARCH 15, 1901
Lt. Gen. Mariano Trias peacefully surrendered to U.S. forces.
He led attacks against Spanish troops during the Philippine Revolution and fought the Americans in the Philippine-American War.
Trias propagated the ideals of Andres Bonifacio's Katipunan.
He was elected vice president with Emilio Aguinaldo as president in the 1897 Tejeros Convention.
Trias and Aguinaldo got the same posts when the revolutionary government was reorganized in Biyak-na-bato in November 1897.
Civil Governor William H. Taft appointed him as the first Governor of Cavite in 1901.
