Luciano San Miguel was one of General Aguinaldo's best generals during the Philippine-American War. In 1902, he established the Bagong Katipunan - a rebel unit that fought the Americans in Rizal and Bulacan.

LUCIANO SAN MIGUEL

Luciano San Miguel joined the Katipunan when the Philippine Revolution began in August 1896. San Miguel had an extremist view that generals had the sole right and duty to protect the nation. He considered the leaders of the Federal party as traitors who settled less for the freedom of the country.

In the Philippine-American War, San Miguel was the principal commander of Zambales and Pangasinan. He was heavily attacked in Zambales during mid-December of 1899 to January 1900. But he did not surrender nor was he held captive by the Americans.

San Miguel was killed on 28 March 1903 during an encounter with the Americans in Pugad-Babuy, Rizal. He is one of only two generals of the army of the 1st Philippine Republic killed in action during the Philippine-American War.
