History

San Isidro was the capital of Nueva Ecija from 1852 to 1912.^[4] In 1896, the first cry against the Spanish colonial government was made. 2,000 revolutionaries under General Mariano Llanera sieged San Isidro.^[5]

In March 29, 1899, General Emilio Aguinaldo declared San Isidro as the capital of the Philippines^[4] after the revolutionary capital Malolos, Bulacan was captured by the Americans; this, however, was short-lived. It was also in San Isidro that General Frederick Funston planned the capture of Aguinaldo to end the Philippine-American War. San Isidro Central School
