was presented to the to Don Genis de Rojas by one
of his men.
- His uprising in 1649 was caused by polo y servicio
system being undertaken in Samar. Despite orders
that natives subject to polo shall not be sent away
from the hometown, they were sent to shipyards of
Cavite to do their polo, which sparked the revolt. A
free government was also established in the
mountains of Samar.
- The defeat, capture and execution of Sumuroy in
June 1650 did not end the revolt. It was sustained
by other revolutionaries.
- Sporadic skirmises and hatred with the Spanish
authorities started by Sumuroy continued, and

marked as the beginning of the end of the long
Spanish rule in the country.
