The "Raid at Paombong" was organized and executed on August 31, 1897, between the Philippine revolutionaries led by Captain Gregorio del Pilar on a blitzkrieg attack on the Spanish barracks of Cazadores in the municipality of Paombong. The attack was successfully carried out with the capture of 14 Mauser rifles and other supplies. It is often described as one of the famous assaults during Philippine Revolution. Shortly thereafter, Philippine President Emilio Aguinaldo raised Gregorio del Pilar to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel.
