ni Gregorio V. Bituin Jr.
15 pantig bawat taludtod
si Heneral Pio del Pilar noon ay nag-ulat
kay Ginoong Jose P. Santos ay kanyang sinulat:
"si Macario Sakay, makabayang tunay at tapat
na prinsipyo ng Katipunan ay ipinakalat
upang makamtan ng bayan ang asam na paglaya
mula sa pang-aapi't pananakop ng Kastila
hanggang sa Amerikanong sa bayan kumamawa
si Sakay ay bayaning tunay sa harap ng madla
sa bayan-bayan, Katipunan ay pinalaganap
sa kababayan ay matiyagang nakipag-usap
bakit dapat lumaya, anong lipunang pangarap
hanggang si Macario'y maraming Katipong nakalap"
sa pangangalap ng tao'y tunay na mahinahon
magaling na organisador ng kanyang panahon
* According to Gen. Pio del Pilar in a letter to Mr. Jose P. Santos, dated January 23, 1930, “Macario Sakay in his best knowledge was a true patriot who spread the seeds of the Katipunan to win the independence of the Philippines. He was one of those who went from town to town, winning the people over to the cause of the Katipunan, and thus, kept alive the spirit of resistance to the enemies”. He added, “Sakay may be called a tulisan or bandit by the Americans. That was the reason they executed him. But before God, Country, and Truth, he was a true son of the Country whom his fellow countrymen must revere for all the times”.
