La guerra filipino-estadounidense y la medalla de honor.-a

 batalla de Caloocan fue una batalla que se libró en las primeras etapas de la guerra entre Filipinas y Estados Unidos .

La guerra filipino-estadounidense, la primera guerra de liberación nacional del siglo XX, fue un conflicto bélico acaecido entre Filipinas y el ejército de Estados Unidos de América desde el 4 de febrero de 1899 hasta el 16 de abril de 1902.
Este conflicto es conocido también como la insurrección filipina. Este nombre fue históricamente el más usado comúnmente en Estados Unidos, pero los filipinos y un número considerable de historiadores estadounidenses se refiere a estas hostilidades como la guerra filipino-estadounidense, y en 1999 la Biblioteca del Congreso estadounidense reclasificó sus referencias para usar este término.

Ochenta y seis hombres fueron galardonados con la Medalla de Honor por sus acciones en la Guerra entre Filipinas y Estados Unidos: 70 del Ejército, 10 de la Armada y 6 del Cuerpo de Marines. Cuatro de los premios fueron póstumos.
Entre los destinatarios estaban Webb Hayes, hijo del ex presidente de los Estados Unidos Rutherford B. Hayes, y dos destacados oficiales del Cuerpo de Marines, Hiram I. Bearss y David Dixon Porter. Bearss se hizo conocido por liderar patrullas de reconocimiento de largo alcance detrás de las líneas enemigas y más tarde fue herido como coronel en la Primera Guerra Mundial. Porter era de una distinguida familia militar y se convirtió en un general importante. José B. Nísperos, un miembro de los Scouts filipinos que fue honrado por continuar luchando después de ser herido, fue el primer receptor asiático de la Medalla de Honor.
