Filipino Revolutionaries
Filipino revolutionaries were individuals and groups who fought against colonial rulers, mainly the Spanish and later the Americans, to gain independence for the Philippines. They organized protests, formed armies, and sought to inspire national pride through various uprisings and movements. Key figures like José Rizal, Andres Bonifacio, and Emilio Aguinaldo led efforts to resist foreign control and establish a sovereign Filipino nation. Their actions helped unite Filipinos, fostered a sense of identity, and ultimately contributed to the country's path toward independence in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
