    HISTORICAL CONTEXT
    »In December 1897, a truce was declared between the two forces
    with the Filipino leaders, led by Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo, agreeing
    to be exiled to Hong Kong while the Spaniards paid an indemnity
    for the damages caused as a result of the conflict. The truce
    however, listed for only a few months before it collapsed.

    »Before the Battle of Manila in 1898, Aguinaldo had already been


    meeting with the Americans in Singapore. He talked with consul E.
    Spencer Pratt regarding US-Filipino collaboration against the
    Spaniards before he went back to Hong Kong to meet up with
    Commodore George Dewey, commander of the Asiatic Fleet.
    »Aguinaldo remained in Hong Kong and met with the American
    consul general Rounseville Wildman. He paid Wildman a total of
    Php 117,000 to purchase rifles and ammunition. A first shipmen
    worth Php 50,000 was made by the other half was never delivered.
    Wildman never returned the money given to him.

    »On May 19, 1898, Aguinaldo finally returned to the Philippines on


    board the US cruiser McCulloch. Aguinaldo conferred with Dewey
    on Philippine conditions and was suppliedwith arms captured from
    the Spaniards.
    »On May 28, the Filipino forces won their first victory in Alapan,
    Imus. The newly-made Filipino flag was hoisted in Alapan then
    later unfurled at the Teatro Caviteno in Cavite Nuevo (now Cavite
    City) in front of the Filipinos and captured Spanish soldiers.

    »On May 24, Aguinaldo announced the creation of the dictatorial


    government. The formation of this type of rule was a necessity
    when the growing nation needed a strong leader.

    »On June 12, 1898, Aguinaldo declared Philippine independence


    from Spanish rule at a ceremony in his house in Kawit, Cavite.
    Ambrosio Rianzares Bautista read the declaration that was later
    signed by 177 persons, including an American military officer.
    About the Author
    »Emilio Aguinaldo was born on March 22, 1869 in Kawit, Cavite
    (Cavite el Viejo), the second to the youngest of eight children of
    Carlos Aguinaldo and Trinidad Famy.

    »The Aguinaldos were a wealthy and influential family with Carlos


    being gobernadorcillo for several terms. Following his father’s
    death in 1883, Emilio assisted his mother in the family business
    and worked to help earn the family income.

    »Aguinaldo followed in his father’s footsteps and was chosen


    capitan municipal of Kawit in 1894. Months later, he joined the
    Katipunan choosing the name Magdalo.
    About the Text
    »On June 10,1896, Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo issued a one sentence
    decree appointing his Auditor General of War, Ambrosio Rianzares
    Bautista, as a “special commissioner” to write the Act of the
    Declaration of the Independence.

    »The result was a sixteen-page document that contained the


    aspirations of freedom from Spanish rule, the sacrifices made, and
    the revolution that resulted from it. It was the text of this
    declaration that was read in Kawit, Cavite in the afternoon of the
    celebration of the declaration of independence.
    The Act of Proclamation of Independence of the
    Filipino People
    The Philippine Declaration of Independence (Filipino:
    Pagpapahayag ng Kasarinlan ng Pilipinas; Spanish: Declaración de
    Independencia de Filipinas) was proclaimed on 12 June 1898 in
    Cavite II el Viejo (present-day Kawit, Cavite), Philippines. With the
    public reading of the Act of the Proclamation of Independence of
    the Filipino People (Spanish: Acta de la proclamación de
    independencia del pueblo Filipino; Filipino: Kasulatan ng
    Pagpapahayag ng Kasarinlan ng Sambayanang Pilipino), Filipino
    revolutionary forces under General Emilio Aguinaldo proclaimed
    the sovereignty and independence of the Philippine Islands from the
    colonial rule of Spain.
    Relevance
    The declaration of that sole document that proves the value
    Filipinos place on their freedom. At present, our independence has
    been questioned especially in relation to our dealings with the United
    States (which colonized us for almost half century and later
    recognized our independence in 1946), however, it must be
    understood the independence we attained in 1898 was freedom that
    was fought for with the lives of Filipinos.
