Escalation: The rebellion quickly spread to other towns in Pampanga, and Maniago's forces grew in number. They engaged in guerrilla warfare tactics and captured several Spanish officials and friars.  5. Spanish Response: The Spanish colonial government responded by sending reinforcements to quell the revolt. A series of battles and skirmishes occurred as the Spanish attempted to regain control of the province. 6. Resolution: After several months of fighting, the revolt was eventually crushed by the superior firepower and resources of the Spanish forces. Francisco Maniago was captured and subsequently executed. 7. Impact: Maniago's Revolt, like other uprisings in the Philippines, highlighted the deep-seated grievances of the local population against Spanish oppression. While the revolt itself did not lead to significant political changes, it contributed to the broader history of resistance against colonial rule.
