Have you ever heard of General Martin Delgado? Most Filipinos know the names Aguinaldo, Bonifacio, and Luna – but Delgado remains a bit of a mystery. Yet, this man played a crucial role in the Philippine Revolution, especially in the Visayas.

So, who was this unsung hero, and why should we remember him? Let’s dive into the fascinating story of General Martin Delgado.

A Humble Beginning in Iloilo

Delgado wasn’t born into a life of privilege like some of the other revolutionary leaders. He was a simple farmer from Santa Barbara, Iloilo, and a true son of the Visayas. He understood the struggles of everyday Filipinos and had a deep love for his homeland.

Rising Against Spanish Tyranny

When the call for revolution against Spain echoed across the archipelago in 1896, Delgado didn’t hesitate to answer. He joined the Katipunan, the secret revolutionary society, and quickly rose through the ranks, proving himself a capable leader.
