History
After a series of less-than-successful attempts during the centuries of Spanish rule in the Philippines, Spanish forces captured the city of Jolo, the seat of the Sultan of Sulu, in 1876.
On that year, the Spanish launched a massive campaign to occupy Jolo. Spurred by the need to curb slave raiding once and for all and worried about the presence of other Western powers in the south (the British had established trading centers in Jolo by the 19th century and the French were offering to purchase Basilan Island from the cash strapped government in Madrid, Spain), the Spanish made a final bid to consolidate their rule in this southern frontier. On 21 February of that year, the Spaniards assembled the largest contingent against Jolo, consisting of 9,000 soldiers, in 11 transports, 11 gunboats, and 11 steamboats. Headed by Admiral Jose Malcampo, the contingent captured Jolo and established a Spanish settlement with Capt. Pascual Cervera appointed to set up a garrison and serve as military governor; he served from March 1876 to December 1876 followed by Brig.Gen. Jose Paulin (December 1876 – April 1877), Col. Carlos Martinez (Sept 1877 – Feb 1880), Col. Rafael de Rivera (1880–1881), Col. Isidro G. Soto (1881–1882), Col. Eduardo Bremon, (1882), Col. Julian Parrrado (1882–1884), Col. Francisco Castilla (1884–1886), Col. Juan Arolas (1886–1893), Col. Caesar Mattos (1893), Gen. Venancio Hernandez (1893–1896) and Col. Luis Huerta (1896–1899).

Plot
As Peter, Quagmire, Cleveland, and Joe are hanging out at the Drunken Clam, they talk about the new billboard advertising pudding and decide to go check it out. Arguing over whether or not it contains real pudding, Peter climbs up to check and finds a missing child. Mayor Adam West holds a ceremony in honor of this and gives Peter the key to the city, but Joe suddenly feels disappointed for not being similarly honored after his many years on the force. Joe decides to spontaneously quit his job at the Quahog Police Department and leave his family.
While Lois feels sorry for Joe's family, Peter is less concerned. He, Quagmire and Cleveland visit him in his new apartment and find he is living his dream life. When he suggests a road trip to Niagara Falls, they find he is performing stunts like cow tipping and crashing student keg parties. His attitude gets on their nerves, but after they arrive, they find he is trying to kill himself at the falls. But when they look over the edge, they find he is caught on a tree. Joe is rescued where he reveals that he feels worthless because he is not the man he used to be. They try to convince him that he's still a good man, only for him to try to kill himself a second time and get caught.
