History
In 1935, Teodoro Asedillo operated in Sampaloc and nearby towns in Laguna and was branded as an outlaw by authorities. He was joined by Nicolas Encallado, a Sampaloc native and veteran of the Philippine Revolution and Philippine-American war. A manhunt was launched against Asedillo and Sampaloc and other towns were subjected to surveillance and hamleting. Asedillo was eventually killed by authorities led by Lt. Jesus Vargas on December 31, 1935, after a shootout in Barangay Kaldong.
