"Frank, just go. I do not want you to die." I cried.
"But Diana, I cannot leave you here."
"They will kill you if you would not follow their order to go back to America."
"Diana, I want to be with you. I do not want to leave you. I cannot protect you if I am there."

The Americans won the war against my fellowmen.
The war officially ended on July 2, 1902, with a victory for the United States. However, some Philippine groups—led by veterans of the Katipunan, a Philippine revolutionary society—continued to battle the American forces for several more years.
Among those leaders was General Macario Sakay , a veteran Katipunan member who assumed the presidency of the proclaimed Tagalog Republic, formed in 1902 after the capture of President Emilio Aguinaldo. Other groups, including the Moro and Pulahan peoples, continued
hostilities in remote areas and islands , until their final defeat at the Battle of Bud Bagsak on June 15, 1913.
The war resulted in the deaths of at least 200,000 Filipino civilians, mostly due to famine and disease.

I got married to someone else and had my own family. I love them with all of my heart.
