WAS UPV-CAS - CENTER FOR WEST VISAYAN STUDIES WRONG ABOUT ILOILO HISTORY ?
On page 80 of the publication "Proceedings of the 1st Conference on West Visayan History and Culture" published in 1995 by the University of the Philippines in the Visayas College of Arts & Sciences - Center for West Visayan Studies, it is stated that
"In Cabatuan, because the natives would not tell the Americans of the whereabouts of Gen. Delgado, two of its prominent citizens were hanged to death - Julian Confesor (father of Sen. Tomas Confesor) and Agustin Jiloca."
That is wrong!
General Delgado had already surrendered long before Julian Confesor ang Agustin Jiloca were hanged.
General Martin Delgado initially surrendered to Major Noble, the adjutant general, on January 11, 1901 .... 6 months before Julian Confesor and Agustin Jiloca were hanged on July 5, 1901.
In fact, General Martin Delgado was already governor of Iloilo, having formally surrendered on February 2, 1901, and having been appointed governor of Iloilo on April 11, 1901.
Julian Confesor and Agustin Jiloca were instead hanged for the following:
1. The killing of U.S. soldier George Hill of Company H, 18th U.S. Infantry Regiment (which was garrisoned in Cabatuan) by Cabatuan policemen Eladio Jilarios and Placido Hebia .... and suppressing information about the incident from reaching the Americans.
2. Aiding and supporting the insurgents while holding public office (as local Presidente and Vice Presidente of Cabatuan) and even after having pledged allegiance to the United States.
3. The insurgents' attack on Cabatuan on December 15, 1900, which resulted in the burning of about 100 houses.
