Catálogo Alfabético De Apellidos
The Catálogo alfabético de apellidos ( en, Alphabetical Catalogue of Surnames; fil, Alpabetikong Katalogo ng mga apelyido) is a book of surnames in the Philippines and other islands of Spanish East Indies published in the mid-19th century. This was in response to a Spanish colonial decree establishing the distribution of Spanish family names and local surnames among colonial subjects who did not have a prior surname. It is also the reason why Filipinos share some of the same surnames as many Spaniards and other Hispanic countries. Among Filipinos, a Spanish surname does not necessarily imply Spanish ancestry. The book was created after Spanish Governor-General Narciso Clavería y Zaldúa issued a decree on November 21, 1849, to address the lack of a standard naming convention. Newly-Christianised Filipinos often chose the now-ubiquitous surnames of ''de los Santos'', ''de la Cruz'', ''del Rosario'', and ''Bautista'' for religious reasons; others preferred names of well-known ...

Manila Carnival
Manila Carnival was an annual carnival festival held in Manila during the early American colonial period up to the time before the Second World War.

Battle Of Mabitac
The Battle of Mabitac ( fil, Labanan sa Mabitac, es, Batalla de Mabitac) was an engagement in the Philippine–American War, when on September 17, 1900, Filipinos under General Juan Cailles defeated an American force commanded by Colonel Benjamin F. Cheatham, Jr. Mabitac was linked to the garrison town of Siniloan by a causeway which, on the day of the battle, was flooded with water (in many parts waist-deep). The water in the flanking rice fields was even deeper, making it impossible to properly deploy off the narrow road. Trenches occupied by Filipinos under Cailles cut across this causeway, blocking the path into Mabitac. The battle began when elements of the 37th Infantry Regiment and 15th Infantry Regiment, advancing from Siniloan, came under intense fire some 400 yards from the enemy trenches, estimated at 800 in strength. Eight troops sent ahead to scout the enemy positions died to the last man as they closed to within 50 yards of the Filipinos. One of the last to fall ...
