El asedio de Baler (30 de junio de 1898 - 2 de junio de 1899) es la defensa de la última posición española en Las Filipinas. Durante casi un año, 54 soldados españoles resistieron el ataque de 400 soldados tagalos desde el interior de la pequeña iglesia de Baler.

Después de 337 días, el teniente Saturnino Martín Cerezo y sus compañeros, salieron de la iglesia, harapientos con los máuser enmohecidos, sin municiones, muchos desdentados, pero salieron con honor de la iglesia que les había protegido durante 337 días, desfilando con marcialidad de cuatro en fondo orgullosos y con la cabeza bien levantada, recibiendo los honores de las tropas tagalas.

Continuaron luchando cuando ya habia acabado la guerra y España habia perdido Filipinas.

The Siege of Baler (June 30, 1898-June 2, 1899) is the defense of the last Spanish position in the Philippines. For almost a year, 54 Spanish soldiers resisted the attack of 400 Tagalog soldiers from inside the small church of Baler.

After 337 days, the Lieutenant Saturnino Martín Cerezo and his companions, left the church, ragged with the mozeur mildewed, without ammunition, many edentulous, but they left with honor of the church that had protected them for 337 days, parading with Martial of four on the bottom proud and with the head well raised, receiving the honors of the Tagalas troops.

They continued to fight when the war was over and Spain had lost the Philippines.
