During the Philippine-American War, it is estimated that more than 200,000 Filipino civilians perished as a result of combat, hunger, or disease.1
It is important to distinguish these figures from the casualties of the later Pacific War, which involved different combatants and circumstances. The human cost of the Philippine-American War was significant, with an additional 20,000 Filipino combatants killed during the conflict.21
