CONSEJO DE GUERRA

Pantaleon Garcia, Hen. Tomas Mascardo
• Reasons for disagreement:
• War is ongoing, and we are not supposed
to establish Consejo De Guerra.

still not the right time.
• Carta Anonima
• Placido Martinez & Koronel Teodoro
Gonzales - defenders of the Bonifacio
brothers

infantries under Captain General Don
Fernando Prio de Rivera besieged Naic

fought rigorously

Relevance to the Grand Narrative of
Philippine History
CONTRIBUTION
• Gave an eyewitness account of how these events
really happened
• Allows us to see a different perspective from
Aguinaldo’s insight since people mostly view him
negatively
• Clarified the rumor that Aguinaldo ordered to
execute Bonifacio
RELEVANCE
• Aguinaldo set an example of what the
leaders of the nation should be like
• Sometimes, people have to fall to rise back up
again
• The people willingly followed Aguinaldo,
without him telling them to come along
• Reflection of present day citizens
