| General Note |
- General note - When the Americans landed in Bohol on March 17, 1900, they immediately took control of the province although at that time, an independent government, headed by Bernabe Reyes as the governor, had been established as the local counterpart of Aguinaldo''s revolutionary government in Luzon. The Boholanos, carrying the tradition set by the recalcitrant Tamblot in 1621 and Dagohoy in 1741, resisted foreign aggression and fought the Americans. Sporadic uprisings unsued and in most instances, the local troops suffered defeats. Between Valencia and Garcia-Hernandez, east of Bohol, a coral limestone cliff towers about 20 ft. high at a point where the road turns to a sharp curve. From the spot, native troops hid and when Americans soldiers passed by they rolled huge stone blocks down to kill the enemy. The cliff is known as Punta Gorda or Balitbiton, a slight promontory jutting from the regular eastern coastline of Bohol.
