Of the 50 men who entered the church, around thirty survived the 11-month siege. Fourteen men died from disease. Only two men died from wounds. There were four deserters from the garrison. Two men were imprisoned for helping in the desertion of another (Alcaide), and executed on orders of Martín Cerezo on the day before their surrender. The feat of the Spanish so inspired the American General Frederick Funston that he had Martín Cerezo's memoir translated and gave copies to all his officers. It was published as "Under the Red and Gold". The survivors were known as "the last ones of the Philippines". A century after their return, the modern-day Spanish government paid homage to them.
