English: On a rocky barricade thrown across this lonely trail, 22-year old General Gregorio H. del Pilar and about sixty other defenders stood fast covering the retreat of President Emilio Aguinaldo to the wilds of Lepanto. Over 300 pursuing American troops came upon them, 2 December 1899, killing the youngest Filipino general and more than fifty other guards. On his grave here where he fell, this inscription reads: “General Gregorio Pilar, killed at the Battle of Tila Pass, December 2nd, 1899…. an officer and a gentleman.”
