The Battle of Marilao River was fought on March 27, 1899, in Marilao, Bulacan, Philippines, during the Philippine–American War.[2] It was one of the most celebrated river crossings of the whole war, wherein American forces crossed the Marilao River,[1] which was 80 yards (73 m) wide and too deep to ford, while under Filipino fire from the opposite bank.[3][4]
