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

Historical Facts obviously omitted or deliberately hidden in our School History Books

*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~~~

The First Asian (Filipino) World Boxing Champion was an Ilonggo

The First Asian (Filipino) World Boxing Champion was an Ilonggo

(By DinggolAranetaDivinagracia - IlonggoNationMovement)

"Francisco Villaruel Guilledo who sported the name "Pancho Villa" during his boxing career, and the first Asian/Filipino Boxing World Champion Titleholder was an Ilonggo." --dinggol.d~~~

Professional Name: "Pancho Villa"

Birth Name: Francisco Villaruel Guilledo
Born: August 1, 1901 Birthplace: Iloilo City in the Philippines  
Died: July 14, 1925, at age 23 years. Hometown: Manila, Philippines
Stance: Orthodox
Height: 5′ 1″ / 155cm --- Reach: 63″ / 160cm

Division: Flyweight  --- Manager: Frank Churchill

Reported by 1922 newspaper articles as being born as "Francisco Tingson."

New York Times article from July 15, 1925, reports his real name was Francisco Guilledo.

Villa started his boxing career at the Olympic Club in Manila. The Olympic Club was owned and run by Eddie Tait of Seattle, Washington, and Frank Churchill. In the early 1920s, fly's and bantams were the most popular weight divisions in the Philippines and Australia.

Two of the earliest, if not the earliest mentions of Villa in an American newspaper were the Dec. 7 and 26, 1921 Tacoma News Tribune editions.

Rafael Gellide/Guilledo claimed to be Villa's father, saying they had reunited at New York in 1923 after 18 years. Guilledo claimed his wife had deserted him in the Philippines when Pancho was 11 months old.

Known during his time as being one of the cleanest fighters around, always showing concern for his opponents and always, after knocking a foe down, immediately turning away and walking to his corner (this was before rules requiring going to a neutral corner).

NY Times July 15, 1925: Villa "...died at a hospital here [San Francisco] today while undergoing an operation for an infection of the throat that developed from an infected tooth. Dr. C.E. Hoffman said the boxer suffocated under the anesthetic. Dr. Hoffman was preparing to operate when Villa's heart stopped. Artificial respiration failed to revive the patient."

According to one web site: "In 1989, his widow - then 84 - insisted that a gambling syndicate conspired to murder the champion because of big losses in the Jimmy McLarnin non-title fight. Pancho was a heavy favorite to beat McLarnin and his defeat was a major upset. Mrs. Guilledo claimed that her husband was injected an overdose of anesthetic."

Pancho Villa was named "Flyweight Fighter of the Century" along with Miguel Canto by the Associated Press in 1999.

Professional Record:

Finished career with a record of 4-0 (1 KO) in world title fights.

Finished career with a record of 10-3-2-2 (2 KOs) against former, current, and future world champions:

Won against Mike Ballerino (six times), Johnny Buff, Abe Goldstein, Jimmy Wilde, and Bud Taylor.

Lost to Frankie Genaro (twice) and Jimmy McLarnin.

Drew against Mike Ballerino (twice).

No Decision against Mike Ballerino (twice).

Finished career with a record of 26-3-1 (7 KOs) in fights outside his native Philippines.
