Today in Philippine History (Philatelic Edition):
NOVEMBER 9, 1896
The simultaneous Battle of Binakayan and the Battle of Dalahican was fought between the Spanish forces of Gov. Gen. Ramon Blanco y Erenas and the revolutionary troops of Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo and Gen. Candido Tirona in Cavite el Viejo (now Kawit) and in Dalahican and Dagatan in Noveleta and in some parts in Imus and Bacoor.
The battle began on November 9, 1896 until November 11, 1896. The Spanish army tasted their first defeat and retreated in disarray and demoralized.
This was the first major victory of the Filipino revolutionaries.
