The poor filipino soldiers during 1898( The first Republic in Asia ) resort to guerrila warfare or tactics because they cannot match American advance weaponry. The tactic worked and a lot of American soldiers were killed as a result. The Americans resort to brutal tactics such as confinement of a whole province ( they call it reconcentration and was done in Vietnam 1960's ) and killing of suspected filipino sympathizers. Eventually, since at that time there is no Geneva convention or media to report gross human rights abuse, the American were able to succeed in defeating the poor galant pinoy soldiers ( who fought with outdated rifles taken from the spanish soldiers and some bolo's - big knife ) The war ended when Americans captured Emilio Aguinaldo - president of the republic of the Philippines ( the first republic in Asia ).
To note, a lot of the amercian soldiers who fought against the Filipinos were veterans of the Indian war, where they massacred a lot of the native Indians ( they are not very fond of colored race )
