The longest revolution that existed in our history.

• A. Philippine Revolution of 1896
• B. Dagohoy Revolt
• C. La Liga Filipina Movement
• D. Kalikagum Revolt

Answer: (B)

Dagohoy Revolt in Bohol is the longest-running resistance in Philippine history, lasting roughly 85 years from 1744 to around 1829. It began as a local grievance against Spanish rule and church authority after the death of Dagohoy’s brother and the dispute over his burial, then grew into a widespread uprising. The movement thrived in the mountains, using guerrilla tactics and the support of local communities, which allowed it to endure across generations despite repeated attempts to crush it. Its remarkable longevity far exceeds the duration of later national uprisings like the Philippine Revolution of 1896, which lasted only a few years, making the Dagohoy Revolt the standout example of a prolonged revolt.
