TODAY IN PHILIPPINE HISTORY:
Aguinaldo issued a proclamation declaring all Filipinos who attend the “peace” festivals organized by the imperialist Americans are traitors to motherland.
Earlier, Aguinaldo, who became the head of the so-called second phase of the Philippine Revolution against Spain after wresting the leadership from, and thereafter eliminating, Supremo Andres Bonifacio y de Castro, infamously entered into an “alliance” with the Americans in fighting the Spaniards in mid-1897.
He believed US military and diplomatic officials who deceptively promised him that the U.S. will honour Philippine Independence.
