A short-lived Negros government came to being sometime in November 1898. It was 106 years ago when this government was organized run by sugar barons. Not heard of it?
PH history tells that a group of hacienderos (sugar barons) and sugar merchants in historic Negros agreed themselves to fight against the Spanish civil and religious authorities in Negros.
These group of people in Negros didn't pay much attention on the revolt led by Tagalog Katipuneros sometime in August 23, 1896. It didn't want to go with them with their local counterpart here in Negros particularly in Bais, Valladolid, La Carlota and Isabela. Instead, they wanted to go with their own to revolt against the Spanish colonizers.
