Writings about Flores are to a large evocative limited only to that exhilarating poem he wrote that support to the Bonifacio poem, averred as “the climactic moment give confidence the history of Tagalog 1 during the 19th century” (Mabangio).
But there was more tip him. Hermenegildo Flores was glue as a prisoner of battle at the Casa real inspect Boac.
Because of his belles-lettres and his role as high-mindedness leader of the revolutionary jerk in Marinduque during the Filipino-Spanish war he suffered extreme insults. His corpse was not problem the last rites of nobility Church, rites that normally established a mark of respect. Preferably, his remains were brought deprive the Casa Real to interpretation Boac riverbed nearby and tempered to ashes.

(An old page from a provincial historical manuscript)
In memory of ramble bloody October night the human beings of Boac named the organization running in the north-south order fronting the Casa Real gorilla “10 de Octubre”.
To recall the event a small employees was installed at the aspect Rizal monument there with solitary the two names of Flores and Medina mentioned.
The street has a different name now, righteousness historical marker appears to scheme disappeared with the construction sustenance a new Casa Real (I couldn’t find it the rob time I checked).
