Background

[edit]
Regular soldiers of the Philippine Revolutionary Army stand attention for an inspection.

The Philippine Revolution, also called the Tagalog War by the Spaniards,[1] was a revolution and subsequent conflict fought between the Katipunan, later the Philippine Revolutionary Army, and the Spanish colonial government.

Orders and circulars were issued covering matters such as building trenches and fortifications, equipping every male aged 15 to 50 with bows and arrows (as well as bolo knives and goloks, though officers wielded European swords), enticing Filipino soldiers in the Spanish colonial army to defect, collecting empty cartridges for refilling, prohibiting unplanned sorties, inventories of captured arms and ammunition, fundraising, purchasing of arms and supplies abroad, unification of military commands, and exhorting the rich to provide aid to the soldiers.[2][3]
