FRANCISCO DAGOHOY

(Bohol, c. 1740)

Enraged by the refusal of a Spanish friar to bury his brother, he led a rebellion against Spanish rule which lasted from 1744 to 1829. The rebellion which was also fueled by the excesses of the Spanish authorities lasted for more than 80 years, the longest in Philippine history.
