Adonis Bar Mafia

The Adonis Bar Mafia was an Organized Crime Syndicate based in Las Piñas. Often regarded as "The Underground Empire", the Adonis Bar Mafia had branches in Las Piñas, Legazpi, and Zamboanga at its height.
Founded by Don Julius Arcilla in Las Piñas with 3 other war veterans who then became top members of the Adonis Bar Mafia; Julian Nakpil, Leon Reious and Hazuri Ackerman
== The Great Manila Fire (1923) ==
On August 28, 1923, a fire was caused by a top member of the Adonis Bar Mafia known as Leon Reious in Binondo, Manila which spread all the way to the walled city of Intramuros and 4 other districts.
Leon Reious went to Binondo on August 10 and helped the 2 of his cousins; Anna and Osweng Reious flee from Binondo who were working there at the time, at August 28, 12:32 PM more than 30 members of the Adonis Bar Mafia and Leon Reious left a building near Binondo and went to the central part of the district of Binondo and started burning occupied turfs by the Manila Boys they also burned schools and government buildings as soon as the alarms went out the damage had already been done, at 1:27 PM the arsonists then crossed the Binondo-Intramuros bridge (Puente de Espana) and burnt it after they had crossed to prevent the Guardia Civil from catching up to them
The arsonists then split up into 6 teams 5 members each team. 2 teams went into the port area destroying the docks and personnel equipment and burnt everything in the storage areas, while 3 teams entered 3 other districts; Ermita, Malate, and Paco causing a hugely significant amount of damage and chaos in the 3 districts
The 6th team which had Leon Reious in it finally entered Intramuros silently while all the Guardia Civil was on high alert and busy trying to contain the fire that was spreading from Puente de Espana when Leon Reious was about to set a fire in a nearby building they were stopped and met with gunfire by the Guardia Civil, Leon Reious immediately ran into safety while the others were apprehended or killed. At 4:45 PM the fire had been stopped desperately by local residents, fire departments, and the Guardia Civil. More than 200 people were trapped, killed, and missing during the Great Fire of Manila and 250,000 evacuated
15 members of the Adonis Bar Mafia were the only ones who had been able to return, Leon Reious went missing for 15 hours after the Great Manila Fire had been stopped, he returned a day later saying that he was the only survivor of his team when they entered Intramuros. Because of this Julian Nakpil called Leon Reious "El Sobreviviente" 
After the event, the Adonis Bar Mafia had made it into international newspapers while also being recognized by various other mafias and crime syndicates such as; American Mafias, Triads and Italian Mafias. This was the first time that the Adonis Bar Mafia had been officially recognized nationally and internationally. 
== Golden Era (1920 - 1933) ==
After the creation of the Adonis Bar Mafia, the crime syndicate already had a headstart from the beginning and have already made more than ₱5,000,000. 3 days later they have been able to hire more members from the Pamplona district in Las Piñas by the Bleeding Eyes of Pamplona a highly popular guns for hire company.
1925 was the peak of the Adonis Bar Mafia with more than 1,000 members and 2,000 supporters outside of the Mafia. They had full control of Las Piñas and the entire Guardia Civil that were situated in Las Piñas, they were lurking in streets, alleyways and corners of Manila, Legazpi and Zamboanga and had all eyes and ears on the Royal Government, the Guardia Civil, rival gangs and the Military. The most controlled area outside of Las Pinas by the Adonis Mafia was the Manila Port stealing valuable, expensive and important goods. The Adonis Mafia had also been gunrunning weapons into Legazpi.
