Baler's soldiers are known as "The last of Philippines" ('Los últimos de Filipinas') Even made a movie with the same name.--80.103.129.5 03:04, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Not surrendered to USA

The Heros of Baler din´t surrender to USA. They surrender to philippines natives. The USa army colud not save them from the "Tagalos" attacks —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.8.121.235 (talk • contribs)

As part of the Treaty of Paris of 1898, the Phillippines was ceded to the United States and when the Heros of Baler became aware of the situation, they turned over their arms to the United States. The U.S. marines provided them with the security needed for their return to Spain where they were received as heroes.

Well, I must agree with the first copmment here, the soldiers of Baler surrendered to the forces of Emilio Aguinaldo. Maybe the US army sent them back to Spain, as it said the treaty of Paris. However, the forces besiegeing the church at Baler were Tagalos, not Americans, and hence it was to them who they surrendered. The Spanish troops did not see an American soldier until they got to Manila.--Medievalista 15:19, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

And the evidence is the decree given by the Philippine government in 1899, here--Medievalista 15:24, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

After further studying various official documents, I have come to the conclusion that Medievalista had made a good point. I made the changes which point to the actual facts. Thank you all Tony the Marine 01:29, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
