General Miguel Malvar - Revolutionary Hero

Miguel Malvar y Carpio (September 27, 1865 – October 13, 1911) was a Filipino general who served during the Philippine Revolution and subsequently during the Philippine – American War. He assumed command of the Philippine revolutionary forces during the latter conflict following the surrender of Emilio Aguinaldo to the Americans in 1901. According to some historians, he could have been listed as one of the presidents of the Philippines but is currently not recognized as such by the Philippine government. 

He joined the Katipunan before the Philippine Revolution. When the Revolution began by August 1896, he emerged from a leader of a 70-man army to being the military commander of Batangas.  As military commander, he coordinated offensives with General Emilio Aguinaldo, leader of the revolutionaries in Cavite and General Paciano Rizal, leader of the revolutionaries in Laguna.
