AFTERMATH

On July 4, 1902- the Philippine Constabulary was established as an archipelago-wide police

force to control brigandage and deal with the remnants of the insurgent movement.

In 1902- Macario Sakay formed another government, the Republika ng Katalugan, in Rizal

Province. This republic ended in 1906 when Sakay and his top followers were arrested and

executed the following year by the American authorities.

Beginning in 1904- brigandage by organized groups became a problem in some of the outlying

provinces in the Visayas.

The term Pulajan is derived from a native word meaning “red”, as they were distinguished by red

garments they wore.

The last of these groups were defeated or hand surrendered to the Philippine Constabulary by

1911.

The American government has signed the Kiram-Bates Treaty with the Sultanate of Sulu. The

United States, having a never intended to honor the treaty, betrayed them, cancelled the treaty,

and began to colonized Moro land, which provoked the Moro Rebellion.

In May 1902- the rebellion continued until the Battle of Bud Bagsak in June 1913, which marked

the end of this conflict.

In the Moro Crater Massacre, 994 Moros were killed.
