Battle of Talisay

Background
By the time the revolution began, Batangas was already a hotspot for revolutionary activities, and as a consequent result it was one of the first provinces that declared independence from Spain and joined the Katipunan. The Spanish then conducted offensives against Filipino rebel encampments in the province but failed.

Battle
General Emilio Aguinaldo is already winning battles in Cavite province, and has began amassing huge throngs of men willing to join the Katipunan. Then he went along with a huge force to Batangas to join with generals Miguel Malvar and Candido Tirona and to amass more men in the province to join the revolution. The Spanish fought hard, but one entire company belonging to theirs was completely destroyed. As a result, the revolutionaries overrun the Spanish positions stationed at Talisay then continued to join with the huge revolutionary army of General Aguinaldo, which he left there in Cavite while being assigned to Katipunero generals including Santiago Alvarez to continue the revolution there, after the victory.

Aftermath
To follow up victory, General Malvar then launched a simultaneous attack in the towns of Lemery, Bayungyungan, Calaca, and Taal in the same province, but after suffering heavy losses, called off the attacks. However, the effect of the battle also prevented the afterwards severely weakened Spanish units in the province to help quell the ongoing revolution in Cavite.
