Gen. Luciano San Miguel Dies In Morong Battle

Today in Philippine History (Philatelic Edition):

MARCH 27, 1903

Luciano San Miguel (January 7, 1875-March 27, 1903), a Magdiwang who became one of General Emilio Aguinaldo’s best generals of the Philippine-American War died in the Battle of Corral-na-Bato in Morong (now Rizal). 

A year earlier, as the newly elected Captain-General and the Supreme Commander of what’s left of the revolutionary forces, he launched guerrilla tactics against American forces and was among the most wanted leaders until his death.
