Libulan, God of the Moon, Patron God of Homosexuality | Lahi

According to other stories, Sidapa (God of Death) was attracted to the beauty of the moon. He courted him without thinking that they belong to the same-sex. It is said that until now they are still together and happy living in Mt.Madjaas in Panay. (Filipino Mythology)

Ayon sa ibang kwento, naakit ng kagandahan ng buwan si Sidapa (Diyos ng Kamatayan). Niligawan niya ito nang hindi iniisip na pareho ang kanilang kasarian. Sinasabing hanggang ngayon ay magkasama pa rin sila at masayang naninirahan sa Mt.Madjaas sa Panay.

Who is Atang Dela Rama?

atang dela rama

Atang Dela Rama | Lahi


Atang Dela Rama is a national artist for theater and music queen of Kundiman.


She fought for the advancement of art for everyone so she brought the kundiman and sarsuela not only to big theaters in Manila but also to cockpit arenas and plazas in the provinces and in the distant places of the natives. Besides here, his angelic voice also came to various parts of the world.

 

Ipinaglaban niya na ang sining ay para sa lahat kaya naman dinala niya ang ating mga
kundiman at sarsuela hindi lang sa malalaking teatro sa Maynila ngunit pati na rin sa
mga sabungan at plaza sa probinsya at sa mga malalayong bayan ng mga katutubo. Bukod dito, nakarating rin ang kanyang mala-angel na boses sa iba’t ibang bahagi ng mundo.

Battle of Zapote Bridge

battle of zapote bridge
Battle of Zapote Bridge | Lahi | filipinoamericanwar.com

The Battle of Zapote Bridge occurred on June 13, 1899. There were 5,000 Filipinos against 3,000 American soldiers.

The Battle of Zapote bridge is the largest and best-organized body of men which had yet to meet American troops as described by the New York Times. (lahi)

The action at Zapote, Cavite is also known as the Battle of Zapote River. It was fought on June 13, 1899, between 3,000 American soldiers led by Maj. Gen. Henry Ware Lawton and 5,000 Filipinos were commanded by Generals Artemio Ricarte and Mariano Noriel. It was the largest battle of the Filipino-American War. It was in this battle that Filipino soldiers earned the respect of General Lawton, whose dispatches invariably carried a sympathetic note of the heroism displayed by Filipinos fighting for their freedom.

Capt. William H. Sage, 23rd US Infantry Regiment, won his Medal of Honor by volunteering to hold an advanced position. With 9 men he fought under heavy fire from the Filipinos. Taking up a rifle from a wounded man he personally killed 5 Filipinos and held them in check until his squad had reached the safety of the American line. (Sage, West Point Class of 1882, rose to Brigadier General and served with the American Expeditionary Forces in France in World War I.)

The New York Times reported that the Filipino force at Zapote Bridge was “the largest and best-organized body of men which had yet met American troops.” Accurate American rifle and machine-gun fire inflicted terrible losses on the Filipinos, who were armed with a motley of firearms or bolos, and did not have the firepower to successfully retaliate on most occasions. American gunboats also devastated the Filipino positions. (filipinoamericanwar.com)

The Americans suffered 75 casualties, 15 of which were killed, and the Filipinos suffered over 500 casualties, between 140 and 150 of which were deaths.

Zapote River separates what is now the city of Las Pinas in Metro Manila from Bacoor, Cavite. Zapote Bridge in ruins still stands along the General Emilio Aguinaldo Highway near Manila Bay.
