Pasts Revisited
Isabelo “Kapitan Bikong” del Rosario
Isabelo “Kapitan Bikong” del Rosario was born 8 July 1878, and hanged in 1901 for resisting U.S. forces whose intent he saw early: “Den la sasaup, sasakup la” (They are not here to help us, they are here to conquer us.) Apung Bikong played Danza Habanera de Filipinas on his violin as he walked to the gallows in Mexico, Pampanga. A U.S. soldier tried to grab his instrument but Apung Bikong smashed his violin on the ground, a last act of defiance before he was executed. He was 22, a Katipunero who fought against Spanish rule, and a good friend of the heroes Pedro and Jose Abad Santos. #aPastRevisited #MabuhayKapitanBikong #KnowYourHeroes (From Lost Graves, Found Lives by Agapito Labalan del Rosario and Rosario Cruz-Lucero, Bughaw-QC, 2022; painting by Alvin M.
