Battle of Bayang[edit]
Main article: Battle of Bayang
In May 1902, during the Moro Rebellion (also known as the MoroAmerican War[3]), Bayang was the
site of a clash between Moro rebels and American troops that became known as the Battle of

Bayang. The American troops, three infantry battalions and a battery of artillery totaling some 1200
men, were led to Bayang by colonel Frank Baldwin to demand the extradition of the Moros
responsible for the ambushing and killing of two American soldiers at the construction of a road
from Iligan to Lake Lanao, two months earlier.[4]
When the sultan of Bayang refused, Baldwin's troops attacked and captured the
nearby cotta (fortress; "small, castle-like structures with thick, high walls"[5]) of Binidayan on 2 May.
They subsequently attempted to capture the cotta of Pandapatan, which resisted the artillery fire and
was only subdued the next day after hand-to-hand combat between Moros and Americans. The
number of Moro casualties is estimated at 300 to 400, including the sultan of Bayang and his
brother. On the American side, ten soldiers were killed and some forty wounded. [4][5]
The cotta of Pandapatan has been preserved as a historical monument; the fallen of the Battle of
Bayang are considered martyrs by Filipino Muslims.[3]
