    “Mga Gunita ng
    Himagsikan”
    “Aguinaldo scribbled a lot in his old age. Between
    1928 and 1946, he produced in long hand the first
    volume of his memoirs, “Mga Gunita ng Himagsikan
    (1964),” translated from the original Tagalog as
    “Memoirs of the Revolution” (1967). In his preface
    Aguinaldo says the memoirs were based on a diary
    he kept, documents he preserved, and family lore
    gathered from his elders…
    The second volume would cover the
    resumption of the Philippine Revolution against
    Spain and the Philippine-American War.”

    • It has 2 volumes. The First Volume is an account from
    his birth and early years, ending with the 1897 Treaty of

    “Mga Gunita ng
    Himagsikan”
    • Aguinaldo’s reason for writing “Mga
    Gunita”:

    Aguinaldo wanted to correct history by


    making reference to the historian’s
    confused accounts on the beginning of the
    Revolution.
    “Mga Gunita ng
    Himagsikan”
    “Except for those that were written,
    other details had been forgotten.
    Many details showed inconsistencies
    because not all sources were
    documented for lack of reliable
    references. For instance, the right day
    of the First Cry of Balintawak could
    not be ascertained. Some say this
    took place on August 23, 1896 at the
    old Bonifacio Monument in
    Balintawak, others claim it happened
    on August 24, 1896. . . . we now have
    too many markers for a single event.”
    “Mga Gunita ng
    Himagsikan”
    • It served as Emilio Aguinaldo’s account of
    Philippine History as it happened before his
    very eyes.
    • It appears that he had a two- fold purpose of
    writing “Mga Gunita”:
    – First was to correct the wrong notions of historians
    as he was a primary source of history being an
    actual eye- witness.
    – Second, it became an avenue for him to answer
    the controversies that followed his life.
