Filipino Audax Brotherhood

The Philippine Audax Brotherhood (Tagalog: Audax Kapatiran ng Pilipinas) is a branch of the Audax Brotherhood. Headquartered in Manila, Metro Manila, it is located all over the Philippines.

## Capital

The capital of the brotherhood has always changed and always depended on the relationship status between them and the governing superior.

From 1640 to 1802, Silinog Island was the main base but a lot of the action occurred in Tagkawayan, Quezon. But when Bicol was invaded, Silinog stayed the base but Tandag, Surigao del Sur was the main spot for plans. In 1830, Silinog was still well but Tagum, Davao del Norte became new location and in 1888, main location was in Midsalip, Zamboanga del Sur to 1942. The capital was then Mambajao, Camiguin until 1945. It then became Davao City, Davao del Sur until 1963. It then became Lapu-Lapu City, Cebu until 1979 when it became Iloilo City, Iloilo until 1986. It then became Antipolo, Rizal.

## History

### Founding

In 1640, 2 members of the Mexican Audax Brotherhood (Javier Prieto and Pelayo Iglesia) arrived in Cebu City, Cebu and started gathering potential assassins and good fighters. They brought them to Silinog Island, Zamboanga del Norte where 3 members of the Spanish Audax Brotherhood  (Alberto Don Julio, Pelayo Almodovar and Alfonso Banderas) trained them.

### 1668

Before Javier Almodovar II was born, his father, Jose Almodovar, wanted him to become a mountain warrior. He went to Alonso Balite who was the leader of the **Filipino Audax Brotherhood**, and asked him for advice. He suggested that he take Java Almodovar to the Chocolate Hills in Bohol and give birth to him there. He was given the choice between Sagbayan or Batuan. Both sites were inspected and Sagbayan was chosen. He was born there.

### 1681

In 1690, Javier Almodovar II robbed a Spanish convoy going from Ilog to Dumaguete. It was extremely guarded with over 200 men because it was carrying hundreds of kilograms of gold.

### 1691

Then, the Audax forces in Zamboanga del Norte, Siquijor and Negros Orientalled by General Rodrigo Pasay would attack and retake Silinog.  The leader of the attack, Sir William Draper, was aware of the Manila HQ's presence and agreed to meet Kahayag Craneo, Jose Dapitan and Manuel Luzon once the battle had been won. Ever since the death of Lapu Concepcion in 1757, Kusog Craneo had been leader. He was evacuated to Tagkawayan, Quezon.

### 1763

### 1945

During the Battle of Manila, Metro Manila in 1945, Rodrigo Pasay II and the American forces were close to defeating Japan but Pasay went and met with Sanji Iwabuchi in Intramuros where Iwabuchi killed himself and Pasay with a hand grenade. Pasay did this because he saw it a common courtesy of an Audax general to die in the battlefield despite a victory or defeat. The Japanese agreed with this. He is the first of the 3 predecessors of the generals of his family to do so. Generals Rodrigo Pasay and Vicente Pasay died long after their wars. His father, Vicente lived longer than Rodrigo Pasay II until 1953. This is why Rodrigo Pasay II is considered to be an amazing and dedicated general by the Americans, Japanese, Filipinos and even Spanish. After World War II, a few Filipinos got angry with Vicente Pasay because he did not die on the battlefield in 1905 during the revolutions in the Visayas and Mindanao. This caused him to move to Darwin, North Territory, Australia. He is still considered a hero by many however.

### 2009

### 2016

In 2016, while walking in Makati, Metro Manila, Rafael Pasay III was shot and killed in a drive by shooting by Mohamed Sinsuat. He was killed because of his hatred towards the Muslims in Maguindanao.
