• The Itneg Revolt, or the Mandaya Revolt, was a religious uprising led by Miguel Lanab
and Alababan. The two were previously baptized as Catholics against their will and were
from the Itneg or Mandaya tribe of Capinatan, in northwestern Cagayan, in
the Philippines. The region is now part of the landlocked province of Apayao. Miguel
Lanab and Alababan killed, beheaded and mutilated two Dominican missionaries, Father
Alonzo Garcia and Brother Onofre Palao, who were sent by the Spanish colonial
government to convert the Itneg people to Christianity. After cutting Father Garcia's body
into pieces, they fed his flesh to a herd of pigs. Afterwards, they compelled their fellow
Itnegs to loot, desecrate Catholic images, set fire to the local churches, and escape with
them to the mountains.
• In 1626, Governor-General Fernándo de Silva sent Spanish and foot soldier colonial
troops to suppress the rebellion. They destroyed farms and other sources of food to
starve the Itnegs, and forced them to surrender in 1627.
LADIA REVOLT (1643)
• The Maniago Revolt was an uprising in Pampanga during the 1660s named
after its leader, Francisco Maniago. During that time, Pampanga drew most of
the attention from the Spanish religious orders because of its relative wealth.
They also bore the burden of more tribute, forced labor, and rice exploitation.
They were made to work for eight months under unfair conditions and were not
paid for their labor and for the rice purchased from them. Their patience was
put to the limit and they signified their intention to revolt by setting their
campsite on fire. The fight soon began and because the Spaniards were busy
fighting against the Dutch, they were badly depleted by the Kapampangans.
The Maniago revolt was the start of a much bigger and even bloodier revolt in
Pangasinan. This battle was led by a man named Andres Malong who had
heeded the call of Maniago to revolt against the Spaniards.
MALONG REVOLT (1660 – 1661)
• A part of the chain to the Malong Revolt was the Ilocos Revolt led by
Don Pedro Almazan, illustrious and wealthy leader from San
Nicolas, Laoag, Ilocos Norte. The letters sent by Don Andres Malong
("King of Pangasinan") narrating the defeat of the Spaniards in his
area and urging other provinces to rise in arms failed to obtain any
support among the natives. During the revolt, Don Pedro Almazan
proclaimed himself "King of Ilocos", but was later captured and
executed. He also had a son which the Ilocanos proclaimed their
prince.
