The "Raid at Paombong" was organized and executed on August 31, 1897,[1] between the Philippine revolutionaries led by Captain Gregorio del Pilar on a blitzkrieg attack on the Spanish barracks of Cazadores in the municipality of Paombong. The attack was successfully carried out with the capture of 14 Mauser rifles and other supplies.[2] It is often described as one of the famous assaults during Philippine Revolution. Shortly thereafter, Philippine President Emilio Aguinaldo raised Gregorio del Pilar to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel.
