Mamerto Natividad
Mamerto Natividad y Alejandrino (December 3, 1871 – November 9, 1897) was a haciendero and a Filipino military leader who led numerous successful battles during the Philippine Revolution against the Spaniards. He is credited with establishing army headquarters at Biak Na Bato, which today is a national park because of its historical significance. Together with Jose Clemente Zulueta, he wrote the proclamation entitled “To The Brave Sons of the Philippines”, which called for the expulsion of the friars from the Philippines. He was a signatory to the Biak Na Bato convention, but a steadfast dissenter to the Treaty of Biak Na Bato, which asked for peace and reforms. He preferred independence.
General Mamerto Natividad was born on December 3, 1871, in Bacolor, Pampanga. He was the eldest of 12 children of Mamerto Santos Natividad Sr., a lawyer and eventually the first Martyr of Nueva Ecija, and Gervasia Alejandrino. He came from a prosperous family that owned haciendas in Pampanga and Nueva Ecija. At age 13, he was already supervising his father's farms in San Vicente and San Carlos in Cabiao, Nueva Ecija.
At age six, Mamerto was sent to study in Manila in the school of Jose Flores in Binondo and later at Ateneo Municipal de Manila and Colegio de San Juan de Letran, Department of Commerce. He was one of the student leaders when a strike threatened to divide the college into regional camps. Headstrong and impulsive, he did not finish his second year, but instead returned to Nueva Ecija to help manage his family's landholdings.
He was known to have fired a gun at a Spanish judge who slapped his younger brother for not paying the judge the respect he thought was due him. He was incarcerated, but later escaped. He tried to kill a Spaniard who harassed the Natividads in their hacienda in Sapang, Jaen. He fired at the Spaniard but the shot did not kill him.
On December 2, 1893, he married Trinidad Tinio, daughter of Don Casimiro Tinio or Capitan Berong of Aliaga, Nueva Ecija. Their union produced two daughters who died young, one at two years and seven months and the other only a week old.
The couple started farming in a barrio back then known as Likab (presently Quezon) and then moved to Jaen where they farmed for another year. Mamerto was directing tenants in Matamo, Arayat, Pampanga a year later.
They traveled to Manila for medical treatment after Trinidad miscarried. The revolution broke out in August 1896 and nine provinces were in arms. Upon learning that Cabiao was among the rebel towns, the couple immediately packed their things and returned home to join the revolution, sending Mamerto's younger brother, Benito, ahead.
Mamerto and Trinidad traveled to Matamo to elude arrest. Three days later, his mother arrived, informing them that their father, Mamerto Natividad Sr., had been executed by Spanish authorities on September 26, 1896, in San Isidro, together with attorney Marcos Ventus. Mamerto Natividad Sr. had been recently initiated into the Katipunan. He was arrested for sedition, tortured and killed.
