EXPERIENCE

 Minister of War in Battle of Dalahican/Calero (November 9-11, 1896). This twin battle became the
first significant victory of the Filipinos. According to my research, the Battle of Binakayan-Dalahican
was a simultaneous battle happened on November 9–11, 1896, and it was a decisive Filipino
victory. This battle took place at Binakayan, in the town of Cavite Viejo; Dalahican and Dagatan in
Noveleta; and, to minimal extent, in Imus and Bacoor towns in Cavite province, Philippines. The
Battle lasted for two days before the Spanish army retreated demoralized and in disarray.
