Today in Philippine History (Philatelic Edition):
NOVEMBER 20, 1899
In their pursuit for Pres. Emilio Aguinaldo and his party, who retreated northward, Brig. Gen. Arthur MacArthur Jr. and Maj. Gen. Henry W. Lawton’s columns link up with Brig. Gen. Loyd Wheaton’s in Dagupan, that ended the overt warfare in Pangasinan and completing the American conquest of the province.
Nine days earlier, Aguinaldo tasked Gen. Manuel Tinio, who was based in Vigan, Ilocos Sur, to block the American advances in San Jacinto.
Entrenchments were put up west of the town. Not long after, the Battle of San Jacinto took place.
