I presume that this was done in the conviction that the historic action deserving to be referred to as the ''Balangiga massacre'' was the action described in the [[March across Samar]] (the {{tl|main article}} for that section). I believe that this needs discussion here to establish consensus. I don't want to offer this as a suggestion, but I will comment that perhaps an alternative would be to make the article named ''Balangiga massacre'' into an explanation that this designation can be taken to refer to either, and explaining the reasons why this is so.
