Pan-ayanons unveiled the Siege of Panay on January 14, 2025. It was located on the bridge along Calle Revolucion. Considered as the second oldest street in the Philippines.

The Siege of Panay is a notable event in the history of Capisnons where the Ati, Panay Bukidnon and the Agraviados fought as part of the Katipunan; led by Gen. Esteban Contreras, Gen. Juan Arce and Gen. Macario Lucso. Around 4,000 Katipuneros battled against the Spanish forces of a thousand led by. Gen. Diego de los Rios. That battle was most horrific battle in Visayas during the 1898 Philippine Revolucion. During the battle, 171 capisnon was killed for defending the panay from 1, 000 Spanish colonial forces.

This project aims to show to the Pan-ayanons and capisnon that this heritage is important to preserve the history behind the "Siege of Panay". Also, to give information to the Pan-ayanons on how the heroes of capisnon fought for this Siege, and to honor the people who fought for the "siege of panay".
