The Battle of Tirad Pass and Gregorio Del Pilar • • The Battle of Tirad Pass was a historic event in the Philippine Revolution, where 60 Filipino soldiers fought against 500 American troops in 1899. • The Filipinos were led by General Gregorio del Pilar, who was only 24 years old at the time. He was ordered by President Emilio Aguinaldo to delay the Americans and protect his retreat. • The Filipinos chose a narrow mountain pass, the tirad pass, as their defensive position, where they could use their rifles and bolos to fend off the invaders. • The battle lasted for five hours, with the Filipinos inflicting heavy casualties on the Americans. However, they were eventually outflanked by a group of Igorot guides who showed the Americans a hidden trail to tirad pass. • General del Pilar was among the last to fall, shot in the neck by a sniper. His body was stripped of his belongings and left on the ground by the Americans. • The Battle of Tirad Pass is considered one of the most heroic acts of resistance in Philippine history. It inspired many Filipinos to continue fighting for their independence and honor the sacrifice of their fallen heroes. • CHAPTERS • 00:00 Introduction • 00:10 Gen Gregorio Del Pilar led the Battle of Tirad Pass • 00:29 The Battle lasted for 5 hours • 00:41 Gen Gregorio Del Pilar was Killed
