• The enigmatic Pulahan leader, Macario Lukso, played a pivotal role in the
resistance, leading the attack against the Spanish garrison in Tapaz,
which marked the commencement of the revolution in Capiz

• Macario Lukso's leadership and the subsequent battles in Tapaz, Barrio
Tanza del Norte, and Calupugan Hill in Pilar significantly weakened the
position of the colonial administration and its armed troops in Capiz,
ultimately leading to the departure of the last Spaniards from the region
in August 1899
