This battle sparked the genesis of the Moro-American War that lasted between 1902 to 1915.
Today, hundreds of individuals, including representatives and leaders from the local government units, civil society organizations, traditional leaders, students, and residents, among others, participated in the commemoration.

Also, it popularizes narratives that highlight values that has become part of the Bangsamoro’s social fabric.
