"Los Últimos de Filipinas"

"Los Últimos de Filipinas" refers to the last group of Filipino soldiers and American Filipino troops who defended the Baler artillery in the Philippines from 1899 to 1902 during the Spanish-American War and subsequent Philippine-American conflict. They were besieged for nearly three years in a remote fort, refusing to surrender despite being cut off from external support. Their unwavering resistance became a symbol of Filipino resilience and nationalism, highlighting their determination to uphold their sovereignty even in the face of a prolonged siege and political transition.
