Today, we commemorate the heroism of Agustin Sumuroy, a brave son of Palapag who selflessly gave his life in pursuit of freedom. His fearlessness, patriotism, and courage is one of the earliest recorded resistance against colonial rule in the Philippines.
In 1649, he led his fellow warriors in an uprising against the Spaniards in protest of the forced labor imposed on native Filipinos for shipbuilding in Cavite. This valiant act of Sumuroy and his men inspired resistance from Visayas to Mindanao against colonial rule, igniting a spirit of defiance among Filipinos.
Through this sacrifice, he engraved his name in the history of the country as one of the symbols of selflessness, defiance, and valiance.
As Ibabaonons, let us live his legacy and uphold the values that contributed to the equality, liberty, and justice we are enjoying today.
