#TodayinHistory in 1860 & 1869, 2 Píos of #PH Revolution are born respectively— Pío del Pilar & Pío Valenzuela. Both were #Katipunan leaders. Both have the same name bec it was common practice to name newborns w/ the saint's name whose feast day falls on the birth date. THREAD ImageImage
Context: Pío del Pilar, prior to joining the #Katipunan, was appointed as teniente del barrio of Culi-Culi (in present-day Makati) and was a distributor of Rizal's novels. In May 1896, he joined the Katipunan and rose to the ranks until the outbreak of #PH Revolution in 1896.
He was present at the Tejeros Convention, & initially supported Bonifacio and the Naik Agreement, declaring the Convention null & void, and giving to Pío del Pilar command of all troops. But Del Pilar would eventually switch to Aguinaldo.
