Transcription
Plot
Macario Sakay is a carriage factory worker and stage actor from Tondo, Manila who joins Andres Bonifacio's revolutionary secret society, the Katipunan. He fights during the Philippine Revolution against Spain and later in the Philippine–American War. Sakay remains in the field even after the capture of President Emilio Aguinaldo and the fall of the First Philippine Republic. He was captured, but is released during an amnesty.
Sakay then takes to the mountains to revive the Katipunan, together with Francisco Carreon, Julian Montalan, Cornelio Felizardo and other rebel leaders. He proclaims himself General and President of the "Tagalog Republic" (Republika ng Katagalugan), and engaged the United States Army and the Philippine Constabulary in guerrilla warfare. On occasion, he is aided by talisman-wearing cultist warriors.
After years of fighting, Sakay is convinced to surrender by Filipino labor leader Dr. Dominador Gomez, who argued that the establishment of a Philippine National Assembly, instead of armed resistance, presented the soundest option towards attaining Filipino independence.
On the understanding that the American government offered amnesty, Sakay and his officers come down from the mountains. However, as a ruse, they were invited to a reception in Cavite and arrested by the Americans. Tried and convicted for brigandage, Sakay and Colonel Lucio de Vega are hanged while Montalan and others received life imprisonment.
