Gregorio del Pilar - Definition and Overview |
|
|
Gregorio del Pilar was one of the youngest generals in the Philippine-American War. The 24 year-old "boy general" led a 60-man Filipino rearguard in Tirad Pass and was later killed after being shot in the neck.
A diary belonging to del Pilar was later recovered by the Americans. Its poignant final entry, written on the night of 1 December, read:
"The General has given me the pick of all the men that can be spared and ordered me to defend the Pass. I realize what a terrible task has been given me. And yet I feel that this is the most glorious moment of my life. What I do is done for my beloved country. No sacrifice can be too great."
