Macario Sacay
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Macario Sacay y de León (or Macario Sakay) was a Filipino general in the Philippine-American War who continued the resistance against American rule in his country.
A member of the Katipunan movement of Andres Bonifacio, he founded a Tagalog Republic in opposition to the colonial rule of the U.S.
On 14 July 1906, after receiving a letter from the American governor-general promising amnesty for himself and his men in exchange for surrender, Sacay, one of the last remaining Filipino generals, finally surrendered.
Three days later, he was arrested nevertheless and imprisoned. Convicted as a "tulisan" or bandit, Sacay was executed on 13 September 1907.
