The Battle of Tayabas (Filipino: Labanan sa Tayabas, Spanish: Batalla de Tayabas) was a 2-month campaign of the Philippine Revolution that saw intense guerrilla warfare and bloodshed for the province. The battle occurred shortly after Aguinaldo's return from Hong Kong in May of the same year. Tayabas was just one of the many triumphs for the revolutionaries in that year, that led towards Philippine independence.
