Pebrero 5 sa Kasaysayan ng Pilipinas

          Matapos makipagkutsabahan ang mga Amerikano sa mga Kastila sa kunwa-kunwariang “Battle of Manila Bay” noong Mayo 1, 1898, kung saan sa mga Amerikano sumuko ang mga Kastila noong December 10, 1898, gayong nagapi na sila ng Hukbo ni Aguinaldo noon pang Hunyo 9, 1898. Ang mga pangyayaring ito at ang pataksil na pamamaril ng mga Amerikano sa mga sundalong Filipino sa San Juan del Monte Bridge, noong Pebrero 4, 1899, ang naging mitsa ng Philippine-American War. Tinangka ni General Emilio Aguinaldo (1869-1964) na makipagpayapaan kay General Elwell Otis (1838-1909), noong Pebrero 5, 1899, subalit tumanggi itong magkaroon ng truce. Kaya napilitang magpahayag si General Aguinaldo ng “state of war” laban sa mga Amerikano. Batay sa pahayag ni General Otis: “Ang paglalaban, dahil nagsimula na, ay dapat magpatuloy hanggang sa malagim na wakas.” Ang Philippine-American War ay higit pang naging madugo kaysa sa Spanish-American War.

Larawang Tribiya

          Sa Wikang Pilipino, ang New People’s Army o N.P.A. ay “Bagong Hukbong Bayan.” Pero alam niyo ba na kapag isina-English naman ang pangalan ng samahang “Bagong Alyansang Makabayan,” ito ay New Patriotic Alliance na kung dadaglatin ay N.P.A. rin!
