 topic 2: battle in imus
Aguinaldo wrote about how he felt delight and nervous being it is his first
time to plan an attack against the enemy and receiving support from a lot
of people. It is the first time he is faced with such tremendous challenge
to create strategic decisions and make it quickly. Aguinaldo has a high
level of authority within the group and is able to command his men to their
next move. He recounted when he made it to the door of the hacienda, even
when the Guardia Civil kept raining them with bullets, with only his
Sargent on his side. The fight is a bloody one that prompted him to scoped
the area and find a vulnerability that would favor them. He was able to
enter the convent only to find out that the people they're fighting
against, fled the scene already.
 topic 3 defeat of brigada aguirre
Aguinaldo went to Imus after he received the news about the threat of the
city being captured. He arrived and strategize. He ordered his troops to
remain quiet and stay low even if the enemy kept firing. They were able to
trick the opponent, making them vulnerable to Aguinaldo's troops. Killing
a lot in the process. General Aguirre, while running away, dropped his
SABLE DE MANDO. But Aguinaldo didn't managed to capture him. But
regardless of that, they won. The people of Imus cheered for them
shouting "MABUHAY ANG TAGALOG". Aguinaldo immediately urged to
established a "Punong bayan" to facilitate Imus which went G. Jose Tagle,
and the people agreed. Everybody is happy and Aguinaldo went back to
Cavite el Viejo where he was also greeted by the people gleefully.
 topic 4:the tejeros convention
Aguinaldo was made aware of what happened in the Tejeros Convention. He was
informed by the people present in the convention that they're confused as to why
Supremo Bonifacio, who suggested the assembly and want to unify the factions,
perpetuated the heated dispute in the event. Aguinaldo was hesitant to leave his post
and take oath as the President. He said no. A few hours passed and his brother
Heneral Crispulo Aguinaldo personally went to takeover his post in Pasong Santol
and vowed to defend it with his life. That convinced him leave Pasong Santol and go to
the Hacienda in Tejeros. They arrived but the entire convention is moved to Sta. Cruz
De Malabon because Supremo ordered to close the Hacienda. All of the elected
officials are there except from Ricarte and Bonifacio. Heneral Ricarte arrived but
was on the fence and doesn't want to take oath but then eventually persuaded by
Secretario Riego de Dios.
 topic 5: the tejeros convention: after

That same night they held their first meeting as a new unified body.
Aguinaldo wanted to station all Magdiwang troops that are not facing any
immediate threat to transport to Pasong Santol. Heneral Ricarte decided
to leave the meeting claiming he is not feeling well. The remaining two
people in the meeting agreed to Aguinaldo's plan. The next morning, he
welcomed a battalion from Magdiwang under Komandante Villanueva. In
accordance to his plan, he immediately ordered them to travel to Pasong
Santol, Salitran, and Dasmariñas to aid the troops and his brother Heneral
Crispulo.
topic 6: tension between aguinaldo and a. bonifacio

Aguinaldo received a news on March 24 that the ministers of

the "Pamahalaan ng Magdiwang", Kapitan Heneral A. Ricarte
and multiple other people held a meeting in the morning of
March 23 where they created "Acta de Tejeros" which nullified
the results of the Tejeros Convention that was held the
previous day.
 tension between aguinaldo and a. bonifacio
Multiple troops from Magdiwang arrived the very same day.
Aguinaldo was thrilled about the support and ordered them
to help his brother in Pasong Santol. They obliged his orders
and went on their way. The next day however, he received the
news that Supremo Bonifacio impede the troops that is tasked
on helping Heneral Crispulo and imprisoned them, much to the
dismay of Aguinaldo. March 25 when Aguinaldo received the
news that his brother died fighting and that Pasong Santol
was now under the rule of the enemy of the revolution.
 topic 7: creation of “consejo de guerra”

Aguinaldo wanted to create the consejo but was opposed by many

generals. Arguing that a consejo is not needed in the time of war and
that in their eyes, what the Bonifacio brothers did is a clear indication of
treachery to the "Pamahalaang Maghihimagsik". He replied in the vain
that the brothers should undergo a strict analysis in accordance with
the law of the consejo. Especially because they both have the same
enemy and goals. Eventually they form the "Consejo de Guerra", where
the Juez Instructor is Koronel Pedro Lipana, Fiscal is Koronel Jose
Elises and the defender of the Bonifacio brothers being Koronel Placido
Martinez and Koronel Teodoro Gonzales.
 topic 8: the bloody battle of naic
A month passed where the troops where at rest and faced no
immediate threat when Naic was attacked by the Spaniards. The
enemy fought fiercely under the command of Capitan General
Don Fernando Primo de Rivera, despite the amount of their
troops succumbing. They eventually fled after leaving a ton
of guns, ammunition, and food. Aguinaldo was disappointed
after being told that Supremo Bonifacio told Heneral Ricarte
to withdraw and hide when they could have potential captured
all of the Cazadores troops.
 topic 8: the bloody battle of naic
Aguinaldo seeing the impending threat, ordered to gather all of their supplies
and transport it away to Maragondon. The people of Timalan also fled and
what is left is the troops of Magdalo and few brave people that wouldn't want
to leave the brave troops alone. Aguinaldo felt the immense danger dawning
upon them. The Spanish Troops are seeking revenge after their multiple
defeats. They were defeated in Timbalan and extremely despised it. They are
fiercely fighting and launching canons at them and hauling bombs at
Aguinaldo's troops. A general encouraged Aguinaldo to burn the entire town
since they would probably lose Naic, but he refused. Saying the people of Naic
will be at a great loss.
 topic 8: the bloody battle of naic
They were being tackled in every direction. Aguinaldo is losing many of his
own men. Until a one regimen is the only one left. They find shelter in a
church and he claimed to his troops that "Dito na tayo magpapakamatay
lahat" on which his men replied in affirmative. Aguinaldo watched as one by
one his men is being shot down. But as he claimed, he wasn't backing down. Not
until Heneral Mariano Riego de Dios pulled him aside and tell him that he is
needed by the motherland. Aguinaldo and the remaining men fled the scene.
To his disbelief they weren't chased down by the Cazadores and Infanteria 73.
The Spanish troops opted to shout "Viva España" and rolled the flag of Spain
on the church's tower.
 topic 9: sentencing of the bonifacio brothers
The brothers went into trial under the "Consejo de Guerra" where it was
determined that they are guilty of committing treason to the
"Pamahalaang Himagsikan" and the judgement for the crimes is death.
Aguinaldo ordered to reduce the punishment to exile, knowing he and
Bonifacio is fighting towards the same goals. But many opposed this
idea, because in their eyes, the brothers committed treachery. They
said that reducing the sentence will only jeopardize his life and the
"Pamahalaan". Many people came to Aguinaldo and give the same word
of advice and alongside with the mounting evidence, he retracted the
order. In the morning of May 10, 1897, the Bonifacio brothers is brought
to bundok ng Tala and was executed.
