    Background of the Author
    Revolutionary leader Emilio Aguinaldo was
    born on March 22, 1869 in Kawit, Cavite,
    Philippines. In 1898, he achieved
    independence of the Philippines from Spain
    and was elected as the first president of
    the new republic under the Malolos Congress.
    He also led the Philippine-American War
    against U.S. resistance to Philippine
    independence. Aguinaldo died of a heart
    attack on February 6, 1964 in Quezon City,
    Philippines.
    Background of the Author

    Aguinaldo's nickname was “Miong”. He was the


    seventh of eight children. His parents were
    of Chinese and Tagalog descent. His father,
    Carlos, died when Aguinaldo was just nine
    years old. Widowed, his mother, Trinidad,
    sent him to attend public school in Manila.
    Background of the Author

    Aguinaldo had to cut his studies short at


    the Colegio de San Juan de Letran due to a
    cholera outbreak and returned home to
    Kawit, where he developed a growing
    awareness of Filipino frustration with
    Spanish colonial rule.
    Background of the Author

    While serving as the head of barter in


    Manila, he joined the Pilar Lodge chapter
    of the Freemasonry in 1895. The
    Freemasonry was a government and church
    banned resistance group. It was through
    his role as municipal captain of this
    fraternity that Aguinaldo met Andres
    Bonifacio, a key figure in the fight to
    overthrow Spanish rule.

    A year before his death Aguinaldo donated his


    Kawit mansion and all its contents to the
    government. It is now under the care of the
    National Historical Commission of the
    Philippines and known as the Emilio Aguinaldo
    Shrine. The Emilio Aguinaldo Shrine was all
    original and provides visitors with a sense of
    how Aguinaldo spent his last years.
    Background of the Document

    Aguinaldo scribbled a lot in his old age.


    Between 1928 and 1946, he produced in long hand
    the first volume of his memoirs, “Memoirs of
    the Revolution” (1967), translated from the
    original Tagalog as “Mga Gunita ng Himagsikan”
    (1964). In his preface Aguinaldo said that the
    memoirs were based on a diary he kept,
    documents he preserved, and family lore
    gathered from his elders.
    Content Presentation
    On September 1, 1896, Jose Tagle asked Emilio Aguinaldo to help him in invading the
    Spaniards in Imus Cavite. After that, Aguinaldo created his strategy in invading the
    Spaniards, since it was his first time to make strategies, he failed. His first attempt
    was to save the rectory, he tasked the group of General Baldomero Aguinaldo to go
    to the north and the group of Captain Municipal Tagle was tasked to go to south.
    Then, Aguinaldo again gathered his soldiers and divided them again into three groups
    to surround the north and south of the hacienda of Imus. With that plan, they won the
    battle.
    The success of the freedom throughout the province of Cavite against the Spain was
    through the lead of the two factions namely the Magdiwang and Magdalo.

    Aguinaldo stated that it was a great success for the Magdiwang faction to win against
    the soldiers of Noveleta on November 9, 1896 and except for this, they just seldom
    go into battle unlike the Magdalo faction.
    On the other hand, On December 30, 1896,
    Jose Rizal who was imprisoned in Puerto
    Santiago, Manila was punished for
    felibusterismo court-martial. Aguinaldo with the
    help of Bonifacio, attempted to save Rizal.
    However, Don Paciano Rizal said that they
    should both save Rizal to avoid the death of
    many soldiers. Because of that, they did not
    pursue the plan and on that day, Jose Rizal was
    executed.
    Also in December 30, the Katipunans in Pateros asked the help of Aguinaldo to
    attack the camp of Cazadores in Tagiik. They enter Pateros but unfortunately
    Frayle Mariano Corcuera gave himself for others to be saved. As their
    opponents came from Pasig, the group of Aguinaldo gave gunshots which result
    of the retreat of their enemies.

    General Artemio Ricarte and General Mariano Reigo De Dios have been delayed
    to come on the right time to fuse with General Aguinaldo. They arrived in
    Escribano and they established three camps. The next day, the Cazadores
    arrived in Escribano, the group of Inferteria Filipino was the first to fight in
    Cazadores. Though a lot of them were dying, they still continue to
    fight but soon they retreated because of
    the loss of men. Therefore, the group of Commander Julian Montalban
    continued the fight which resulted to the decrease of the men of Cazadores.
    However, the group of Coronel Lucas Camerino was defeated by General
    Zabala bringing artillery and they started to invade Aguinaldo groups that's why
    they retreated the battle as the result to the 400 loss of their soldiers.
    Aguinaldo asked help to the president of Magdalo in Imus since they could not
    handle the opponent but no one was coming because there was a non-stop
    battle in Zapote. Therefore, Aguinaldo decided to go to San Nicholas to bring
    some soldiers. When he arrived, he saw that the town was devastated because
    the opponents have entered the Molina. When he saw General Pio Del Pilar, he
    persuaded the general to come with him to San Nicholas for them to meet the
    opponent in Molina. They meet the opponent while they were walking and the
    battle between them started and the opponent turn back which result to the
    victory of General Del Pilar. Also, Aguinaldo did not fail to bring some soldiers in
    Dasmarinas since General Pio Del Pilar dropped his four groups to Aguinaldo to
    go to Dasmarinas.
    The invasion and victory of the rebel in Pasong Santol, Aguinaldo with the team
    of Coronel Janolino was entering the side area and they started to fire guns but
    the opponents fired back which resulted to the loss of soldiers, still they
    continued to fight. As they entered the hardest area of the column, Coronel
    Yenko and General Garcia started to conquer. Then, they succeeded in Pasong
    Santol.
    It was almost two weeks when they were not being attack by the opponent it
    was because of the battle happened in Pasong Santol and the contra ataque in
    Silang and Escribano that drove the Spanish which resulted to the resignation
    of Captain General Polavieja. General Lachambre became the temporary
    Captain General until the arrival of new Captain General Don Fernando Primo
    De Rivera and demanded 15,000 of infantry of Cazadores in Spain.
