On fresh offensive south of Manila, Spanish Governor Camilo de Polaveija and General José Lachambre advanced through Zapote Bridge against General Vito Belarmino at Silang, where Belarmino had to withdraw after an heroic defence. A failed counter-attack by Emilio Aguinaldo and Artemio Ricarte forced the Filipinos to continue falling back to Dasmariñas.
