Macario Sacay
Macario Sacay was a Filipino general in the Philippine-American War who continued the resistance against American rule in the country. He was branded as a tulisan or bandit by American authorities.
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 4 July, 1906, having been given a letter from the American governor-general promising amnesty for himself and his men in exchange for surrender, Sakay, who had been one of the last remaining Filipino generals, finally surrendered. Three days afterwards he was captured and imprisoned; convicted as a bandit, he was executed on 13 September, 1907.
