Teodoro Asedillo

Asedillo was born in July 1883 in Longos (present-day Kalayaan). His father was a councilor of barrio San Antonio. In 1918, Asedillo began teaching at the San Antonio Elementary School, teaching Physical Education. As teacher, he constructed a track and field oval for students. and paraded around nearby towns to discourage sympathy. Encallado surrendered to Constabulary forces in Tayabas two weeks later in January 1936. ==In popular culture==

Writer and diplomat Leon Ma. Guerrero III referenced both Asedillo and Encallado in his satirical work, "History" - as sometimes written, which was published in Philippine Magazine in March 1936. "History" retells the events of the Philippine Revolution using popular newspaper headlines at the time. Asedillo is portrayed as a mix of Andres Bonifacio and Jose Rizal as the founder of a revolutionary organization called the Anak Pawis and leading a revolutionary struggle before being killed on 31 December 1896 (the same year Rizal was executed). The revolution continued under Encallado's command until he made peace with Governor-General Manuel Quezon in the Pact of Sitio Apugan. Asedillo was portrayed by Fernando Poe Jr. in the 1971 film Asedillo, directed by Celso Ad. Castillo. The film was shot on location in Sampaloc, where Asedillo operated. A sequel, Ang Anino ni Asedillo, was also filmed in 1988, starring Conrad Poe as somebody who idolizes Asedillo and wishes to be like him. ==References==
