📜 Not all “Gomburza photos” are authentic.

The well-known image is likely a 1908 composite by Alfonso T. Ongpin—not a real group photo.

As Ambeth R. Ocampo notes:
No confirmed photo of José Burgos, Mariano Gómez, and Jacinto Zamora together exist

Filipino forces under Antonio Luna resisted a major U.S. assault—despite inferior arms, logistics, and support.

A fight marked not by lack of courage, but by unequal conditions.
