Talk:Siege of Baler

Flames Over Baler by Carlos Madrid

consider reading also this book since there are some discrepancies noted in this article versus the said publication. The are more details about the siege that may be worth considering. kalibkib (talk) 01:58, 25 January 2013 (UTC)

U.S. involment?

there is no need to show the american troops as combatants, all they did was to TRY to save the spaniards but it was the filipinos vs the spanish in this siege--EuroHistoryTeacher (talk) 21:02, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

Spanish version of the article is extensive

Anybody who understands Spanish who wants to cross-fertilize both articles? See es:Sitio de Baler. --seav (talk) 03:29, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

Moved section After the Seige here

I've moved this section here.

After the Siege of Baler in 1898 we started in World War II in 1942, the occupation from the Japanese Imperial forces was land in Baler. On 1945, the Philippine Commonwealth troops was entered the town of Baler was recaptured the attack the Japanese forces begginning the Battle of Baler, The San Luis de Tolosa church was destroyed from the Japanese troops, meanwhile the Philippine troops achieved victory on this battle during the liberation.

Per WP:MOS#Article titles, the word Seige should have a lower-case s. I would have changed that, but the text of this section is so badly garbled that I've just moved the whole section here instead. Please de-garble it before moving it back. -- Boracay Bill (talk) 00:39, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

Wrong flag!

The Filipino flag in the article's box is wrong. As the Philipines were at war, the red band should be on top, not the blue! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.155.211.67 (talk) 21:19, 5 September 2018 (UTC)

Contradiction

I quote from the article:

"... and then in November, Captain Las Morenas succumbed to beriberi. Command fell to Lt. Saturnino Martín Cerezo when Las Morenas died in December."

When did Las Morenas die? One sentence says Las Morenas died in November and the next sentence says he died in December. Anagnorisis 12:49, 12 January 2019 (UTC)

23 November, according to pages 52-53 here, although those are not the pages cited in that source. The other cited sources are not available for perusal online; I don't know what they say. Wtmitchell (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 13:19, 12 January 2019 (UTC)

Simón Ocampo Tecson (more info needed)

The caption of the lead photo of this article caught my eye. It's apparently been in the article for some time, and it reads: "Filipino troops of Colonel Tecson in Baler, May 1899. Tecson is to the right of the cannon, Novicio to the left." With this caption it seems reasonable that the article ought to explain who Colonel Tecson is, but it does not. I dug around a bit online and didn't find much; there is Tecson, Luis Zamora (2011), Remembering My Lolo Simon Ocampo Tecson: Leader in the Siege of Baler, National Commission for Culture and the Arts, ISBN 978-971-9030-99-7, but it's not previewable online. Could someone please fix this? Wtmitchell (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 15:56, 19 July 2019 (UTC)
