The title above translates to the 15 Martyrs of Bicol.
January 4, 1897 (5 days after Rizal's execution). 15 Martyrs were executed. 11 in Bagumbayan (now Luneta Park) while 4 of them were exiled or died in prison. When the Katipunan was discovered, a message was sent by Governor-General Blanco to all governors to organize mass arrests throughout the country. From September 6 to October 10, 1896, 15 of them collaborated with the Katipunan. They were accused of conspiracy, and collaborating against the anti-colonialism group which sparked the Filipino Revolution against the Spaniards.
