Flaviano Yengko edit

It's a nice story. The references need more work as they need more detail - do you have authors/publishers/dates? Two of them are geocities pages which we don't count as reliable sources. One is unsourced, and one a newspaper column. Can you find mention of this guy in books about Philippine History?

Some of the writing is a bit close to the sources. eg:

Article: "On November 8, 1896, Yengko reached Imus, where he presented himself to General Emilio Aguinaldo. The first assignment given to him was the transport of gunpowder from Manila to Cavite."
[1]:"On November 8, 1896,he reached Imus, where he presented himself to General Aguinaldo. His first assignment was to transport gunpowder from Manila to Cavite."
The hook is also uncited. Secretlondon (talk) 23:50, 28 May 2012 (UTC)
