Ang Republika Federal sg Kabisay-an (The Federal Republic of the Visayas)

Historical Facts obviously omitted or deliberately hidden in our School History Books
(Source: History Reborn"The Federal Republic of the Visayas" -by: dinggol a.divinagracia*June 12, 2007)

*That Spain had already formally surrendered to the Federal Republic of the Visayas even before Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo was proclaimed Philippine President in Malolos, Bulacan on January 23, 1899. That our Independent Visayan Republic, had never been under the authority and jurisdiction of Aguinaldo's "Katagalogan" Republic in Luzon.

excerpted: "...A paper written by Jose Manuel Velmonte, a research associate at the UP Third World Studies Center, found that the Visayan revolutionary elites not only had sophisticated political ideas but also resented attempts by Malolos to assert its authority. A Tagalog military expedition sent by Malolos to Panay to assert its presence was met with hostility. The Luzon force led by Generals Ananias Diocno and Leandro Fullon was regarded by the Visayan revolutionaries, led by the Visayan supremo, Gen. Martin Delgado, as an ''invasion'' force ..."

According to Dr. Luis C.Dery, an eminent Filipino Scholar: "Expounding the extent of Aguinaldo's Philippine Army; the Bangsamoro nation's Mindanao, Sulu, and the rest of its islands never fell under Aguinaldo's politico-military control and sovereignty. In fact as late as August 1898 much of northern Luzon, southern Luzon, the Visayas, and Mindanao remained outside of the control of Aguinaldo's Republic. Thus, several military expeditions were sent to these places to bring' them to recognize the First Philippine Republic."

*That the 1898 Treaty of Paris preliminaries, should not have included territories of the sovereign "Visayan Nation"; the confederation of both the Central and Western Visayas Cantonal Governments by virtue of Spain's formal surrender prior to this U.S. and Spain treaty of peace (Paris) and the $20-million buy-out. Spain had no more legal rights to sell. In legal parlance "nemodat quod non habet” -meaning “you cannot give what is not yours”. It states that the purchase of a possession from someone who has no ownership right to it also denies the purchaser any ownership title.

This diplomatic "Faux pas" that was supposed to be officially consummated and became legal and internationally binding only on APRIL 11, 1899 should, or rather must be rectified.

*June 12, 1898 -Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo proclaimed Philippine Independence from Spain in Kawit, Cavite --but never won the war against Spain, as explained in the infamous betrayal --the "Mock Battle of Manila of August 13, 1898".

*Nov. 6 & Dec. 23, 1898 -Spain formally surrendered to both; the Negros Republic that merged (Dec. 2, 1898) with the Federal Republic of the Visayas based in Iloilo (respectively)

excerpted: "...These two nations, from a purely legal point of view, are COMPLETELY LEGITIMATE UNTIL TODAY. This could imply that the Manila-based Tagalista-oriented Unitarian central government of the Philippines in the Visayas and Mindanao is an Occupational Government, that ultimately originated from an invalid Treaty of Paris...."

*July 4, 1946 -The United States of America granted Philippine Independence on a silver platter with strings attached.

Ergo! we won our battle-scarred freedom and legitimate independence and became a sovereign nation. The "First" Republic in the whole of Asia, but was nipped-in-the bud by the "ugly" Americans. A diplomatic faux pas, a political blunder and a travesty of history! --DinggolAranetaDivinagracia~~~

Col. Posidio Bermejo Delgado of Santa Barbara in Iloilo, Philippines

Col. Posidio Bermejo Delgado of Santa Barbara in Iloilo, Philippines

(By DinggolAranetaDivinagracia - IlonggoNationMovement)



“A tribute to the 1898 Ilonggo revolutionary leader Don Posideo Bermejo Delgado born on May 17, 1865 in Santa Barbara, Iloilo on the occasion of his 154th birth anniversary today --the 17th of May, 2019.” --dinggol.d~~~

Personal testimonies of my good friends Gaudioso "Boy" Haguisan, his sister Freda Haguisan, and their cousin Luis Winston Delgado Mendoza about their grandfather during a get together party at the home of Patrick Contreras Erpe and Eva Geasin-Erpe in Panorama City, Southern California:

That the low-profile revolutionary leader Colonel Posidio B. Delgado of Santa Barbara, Iloilo composed the "Marcha Libertador" the official march of the Ejercito Libertador (the Ilonggo freedom fighters). Delgado was born on May 17, 1865 to Don Jacinto Delgado and Doña Gabriela Merlo Bermejo.

He is the brother of the Visayan Supremo General-en-Gefe Martin Delgado of the Estado Federal de Bisayas and Placida Delgado who was married to Don Sabas Solinap. Aside from being a good musician, Don Posidio was also a very religious man who composed many composition of religious offerings.

Col. Posidio Delgado was married to Felicia Feberico by whom he had seven (7) children, namely:

1. Pura married to Nicanor Gregorios
2. Maria married to Domingo Mabunay, Sr.
3. Jose married to Catalina Piremne
4. Luis married to Inda Taas Jinal Abirin
5. Juana married to Gaudioso Haguisan, Sr.
6. Salvador married to Jesusa Segovia
7. Rosita remained single

Luis Delgado Mendoza, further stated that his maternal grandfather and namesake, Brig. Gen. Luis Delgado who married Princess Inda Taas Jinal Abirin of the royal Sulu Sultanate was one of the two Santa Barbaranhons to first enter and graduated from the Constabulary Academy, the precursor of the Philippine Military Academy (PMA) in Baguio. The other was Brig. General Julio Umadhay, Sr.

Likewise, the Haguisan-Delgado siblings proudly attest to the fact that their uncle Engineer Salvador F. Delgado, the youngest son of Don Posideo and his Construction Team were greatly instrumental in building the Chapel and giant Cross atop Balaan Bukid, earlier known as “Bundulan’ in the island province of Guimaras, now popularly called the “Mango Capital of the Philippines”.



The substantial elevated lot area with a magnificent panoramic view of the City of Iloilo and its environs was donated by the heirs of Don Raymundo Angulo Melliza of Parian, now Molo in Iloilo City. While financing of the project in the 1950s was thru the benevolence of the Doña Ana Ledesma de Lopez Foundation spearheaded by her daughter Doña Victoria Ledesma Lopez de Araneta, married to Dr. Salvador Zaragoza Araneta.
