At San Ildefonso, due north in Bulacan Province, the U.S. flag was hauled down, immediate Philippine "independence" declared, a short-lived socialistic government set up. Sporadic sniping at constabulary detachments popped throughout three provinces of central Luzon. And at Cabuyao, on the main south road between Manila and the great U.S.-owned Calamba sugar estates, actual battle was pitched.
