CONTRIBUTED PHOTOTecson was put in charge by president emilio aguinaldo to lead the siege. Along with other soldiers from bulacan, tecson helped end the siege, received the surrender of spanish soldiers and made sure the prisoners of war were able to leave unharmed.The siege of baler told the story of spanish soldiers that held out in baler church, 15 days after the proclamation of philippine independence. Despite informing them that the war had already ended, the soldiers barricaded themselves for 11 long months.In 2003, republic act 9187 created philippine-spanish friendship day, which was to be observed on june 30 every year.
