Today in Philippine History (Philatelic Edition):

AUGUST 31, 1896

After their defeat in the Battle of San Juan del Monte, Andres Bonifacio together with Emilio Jacinto, Macario Sakay, Apolonio Samson and Faustino Guillermo made camp in the hills of Marikina, Montalban and San Mateo and were joined by other revolutionaries. 

In Cavite, the Katipuneros won many battles. Emilio Aguinaldo led the revolt in Kawit while Mariano Alvarez liberated Noveleta. 

The forces under Artemio Ricarte, Tomas Mascardo, Juan Cailles, Vito Belarmino, Mariano Trias and Marcelino Aure were victorious against the Spanish troops.
