Magdalo was the name of two military organizations in the Philippines:
- A faction of the Katipunan chapter in Cavite, mostly made up of ilustrados of that province, that supported General Emilio Aguinaldo as leader of the Philippine Revolution and betrayed Andres Bonifacio the father of Philippine Revolution. They argued for the replacement of the Katipunan by a revolutionary government. Majority, if not all, of the civil officers & military officials of the Filipino Republic came from this group.
- A group of rebel soldiers who staged the unsuccessful Oakwood mutiny. Made up of junior officers of all branches of the Armed Forces of the Philippines, they took over the Oakwood Premier Ayala Center in Makati and demanded the resignation of senior officers in the AFP & members of the Arroyo government, including the President herself. The group called themselves "Bagong Katipuneros",[1] however, the local press continues calling them the Magdalo group.
- On August 30, 2007, the Philippine National Police went on alert against an alleged Magdalo recruitment try in Bicol, targeting the Army's 9th Infantry Division. The effort is allegedly related to destabilization efforts for the forthcoming promulgation by the Sandiganbayan on the plunder case of former President Joseph Estrada.[2]
- “Pulutan: From the Soldiers’ Kitchen”
- Magdalo released on August, 2007, its 135-page cookbook “Pulutan: From the Soldiers’ Kitchen” (authored by Navy Ensigns Elmer D. Cruz and Emerson R. Rosales who graduated from the Philippine Military Academy in 2000). Its featured recipe is “Calamares a la Trillanes,” created by Antonio Trillanes IV, and rated “five mugs of beer,” or an A-1 dish, while the rare and exotic dish, “Kinilaw na Tamilok (woodworm),” is an aphrodisiac in Palawan (tamilok is a woodworm that feeds on mangrove wood). Pulutan recipes, titled “Drunkards’ Delight” include “seditious” recipes such as “Camaron Esperon,” “Grilled fresh computer diskettes,” “Bloodless mutiny No. 5,” “Napaupong Pangulo sa Palayok” or “Buttered Negotiation a la Cimatu (with a twist).” Ellen Tordesillas and Yvonne Chua edited the book published by Anvil.[3]
