THE National Historical Commission of the Philippines (NHCP) and the municipal government of Palanan, Isabela on Monday jointly marked the 125th anniversary of the End of the First Philippine Republic with a simple ceremony at the Aguinaldo Capture Marker in the town.
“As we remember the sacrifices of our heroes, let us also remember the values they fought for: freedom, sovereignty, and the pursuit of a better future for our nation,” Isabela 2nd District Rep. Ed Christopher Go said in his remarks.
The capture of President Emilio Aguinaldo by American forces in Palanan, Isabela, signaled the end of the First Philippine Republic.
Aguinaldo’s valiant fight for independence began with the establishment of
the Republic on January 23, 1899, but was met with the Philippine-American War just a month later.
