Macario Sakay and the Struggle for Kalayaan
Continuity in the Katipunan guerilla movement, 1892-1907
On February 4, 1899, Private Philip Grayson fired a shot across San Juan Bridge, beginning the struggle between US and Philippine forces for control of the Philippine Islands. The Philippine army, still prepared for battle in the aftermath of the revolution against the Spanish occupation, fought with tenacity. The United States military pursued a policy of all-out war against the Philippine resistance and of preferential treatment for those among the native elite who collaborated with the occupying US forces.

There was an unbroken continuity in both ideology and in the class makeup of the Katipunan under Bonifacio (1892-1897) and later under Sakay (1901-1906).
