Swish of the Kris - 24. The Battle of Bud Bagsak |
 | | The mountain crest was defended by formidable cottas crowned by the stone fortress of Bagsak at the summit. |
 | | These five cottas, namely, Pujacabao, Bunga, Matunkup, Languasan and Pujagan, were grouped about the huge stone fort of Bagsak in such a manner that a simultaneous assault of all of the cottas was necessary in order to prevent a great loss of life on the part of the attackers. |
 | | The cotta of Languasan was captured without difficulty with a loss of one man, but the American forces had eight casualties during the period of Moro counter-attacks made in an effort to recover the fortress. |
