Miguel Malvar was a Filipino general who played a significant role in the resistance against the United States during the Philippine-American War. Following the capture of Emilio Aguinaldo in 1901, Malvar continued to lead the guerrilla campaign against American forces with great determination.1

He surrendered to the American authorities on April 16, 1902. His surrender marked the effective end of the organized insurrection, after which the American civil government began to classify remaining resistance fighters as bandits, although sporadic fighting persisted in various regions for several years thereafter.1
