The province of Marinduque commemorates one of the most important events that unfolded in the province which was part of the Filipino people’s struggle toward independence, which at that time was being threatened with the creeping American invasion of the Philippine islands a year after General Emilio Aguinaldo’s declaration. It happened on July 31st, 1900 in Sitio Paye, Barangay Balimbing, Boac, Marinduque, where the Filipino revolutionaries fought a gallant stand and attempted to drive the new imperialist powers away from further advancing before being subdued by the American forces. However, the Filipino troops would rebound with a major victory over the aggressors, via the Battle of Pulang Lupa. To date, a historical marker depicted by two cannons now adorn the historical site, and the day is observe as a local holiday throughout the province.
