@pinoysofhistory: The Battle of Manila Bay on May 1, 1898, was one of the most decisive naval battles in Philippine history. Commodore George Dewey and the U.S. Asiatic Squadron faced Admiral Patricio Montojo's Spanish fleet near Cavite in a battle that lasted only hours but changed the course of the Philippines. This short historical documentary explains what happened, why the battle occurred, how Dewey won, and why the destruction of the Spanish fleet became a major turning point leading to the end of Spanish colonial rule. #BattleOfManilaBay #GeorgeDewey #SpanishAmericanWar #ManilaBay #PinoysOfHistory
