Philippine–American War Licerio Gerónimo e Imaya (August 27, 1855 – January 16, 1924) was a general of the Philippine Revolutionary Forces under Emilio Aguinaldo.

Due to poverty, Geronimo did not enjoy the benefits of formal education but he learned how to read and write with the help of a friend who taught him the alphabet.

[2] Geronimo was recruited into the secret revolutionary society Katipunan by his godfather, Felix Umali, alguacil mayor of barrio Wawa, Montalban.

Private Bonifacio Mariano, a member of Tiradores de la Muerte, shot the lethal round that hit the general right through the lungs.

On March 29, 1901, Gen. Licerio Gerónimo, 6 officers, and 40 soldiers surrender at San Mateo, Manila to Col. J Milton Thompson and the 42nd Regiment of Infantry.

Gerónimo later worked for the United States and enlisted for the Philippine Constabulary on June 1, 1902, as an inspector, successfully bringing in bandits and former soldiers roaming the countryside.
