Hernández was born on September 8, 1870 to Fernando Hernández and Lucía Dayot, a member of the principalía class of Dingle, Iloilo. His maternal grandfather, Marcelino Dayot, and uncle, Luís Cantalicio Dayot, were gobernadorcillos of Dingle. He was a Spanish mestizo who studied at the Escuela Católica de Dingle (Dingle Catholic School) and later at the Ateneo Municipal in Manila.[1] His elder brother, Gen. Julio D. Hernández, later became the Secretary of War of the Federal State of the Visayas during the revolutionary period. His two younger siblings were Consuelo and Pilar.[2]
Military career
During the Philippine Revolution, Hernández organized a revolutionary movement in Iloilo against the Spanish colonial authorities and then from 1898, against the United States. He was a leader, along with his older brother Julio D. Hernández, and Nicolas Roces, of the Cry of Lincud which occurred on October 28, 1898 at Barrio Lincud in Dingle. This event is known today as the first armed uprising for independence in the province of Iloilo. He then became an aide to General Martín Delgado because of his knowledge in military strategy.[3] He was designated Chief of Staff of the revolutionary government in the Visayas in November 1898 and represented the province of Iloilo at the Malolos Congress. During the Philippine–American War, Hernández led the guerrilla movement in the province until he surrendered.
Post-war life
Hernández was councilor of Silay, Negros Occidental from 1904 to 1906. In 1907, he became a member of the first Philippine Assembly, the first nationally elected legislative body in the Philippines, the lower house of the Philippine Legislature of the American colonial Insular Government. In 1912, he was elected Governor of Iloilo as a member of the Nacionalista Party. A practicing farmer, Hernández became the first Filipino director of the Bureau of Agriculture in 1916, which had been headed by Americans colonial officials before his tenure.[4] This was part of the Filipinization policy of the American colonial government, following the Jones Act of 1916.
Camp General Adriano D. Hernandez in Dingle, Iloilo is named in his honor.[5] It serves as headquarters of the 301st Infantry Brigade of the 3rd Infantry Division of the Philippine Army.
