Retreat to Montalban


The Retreat to Montalban occurred during the Philippine Revolution after the 1897 Battle of Naic south west of Cavite when Philippine General Emilio Aguinaldo's and his forces retreated to Puray, Montalban where they made a last stand on 3May 1897. They then retreated towards the caves of Biak-na-bato, where Aguinaldo negotiated the peace pact known as the Pact of Biak-na-Bato.
The Spanish pursued the Katipunero forces retreating towards central Luzon, killing many of the revolutionaries. However, some of them joined General Manuel Tinio's revolutionary army in Nueva Ecija, where they decisively won the Battle of Aliaga, "The glorious Battle of the Rebellion", only a few weeks after the retreat.
