Recovering from heavy losses at San Juan del Monte, Katipunero rebels under Andrés Bonifacio and Emilio Jacinto withdrew to the Montalban hills and soon attacked San Mateo. The rebels seized the town for their first significant victory, but the Spanish quickly counter-attacked. After heavy fighting along the Langka River, Bonifacio’s forces retreated to Balara.
