Memoir of Himagsikan
•It would appear beyond doubt that One whom eye of
man hath not seen in his wisdom and mercy ordained
that the emancipation of the oppressed people of the
Philippines should be undertaken at this time, for
otherwise it is inexplicable how men armed only with
sticks and gulok
•The Government of Madrid disapproved of General
Blanco’s new policy and speedily appointed Lieutenant-
General Don Camilo Polavieja to supersede him, and
despatched forthwith a large number of Regulars to the
Philippines.
•Then I(Aguinaldo) established my headquarters in the
wild and unexplored mountain fastness of Biak-na-bató,
•Spain maintained control of the Philippine Islands
for more than three centuries and a half
•On these memorable days the people of Balintawak,
Santa Mesa, Kalookan, Kawit, Noveleta and San
Francisco de Malabon rose against the Spaniards and
proclaimed the Independence of the Philippines
•With regard to the rising in the province of Cavite it
should be stated that although a call to arms bearing
the signatures of Don Augustin Rieta, Don Candido
Firona and myself, who were Lieutenants of the
Revolutionary Forces
•Don Pedro Alejandro Paterno (who was appointed by
the Spanish Governor-General sole mediator in the
discussion of the terms of peace) visited Biak-na-bató

Important dates and events:

Enero 1897-Dahil kulang ang sandata at kaunti ang bilang ngkanilang

kawal ay tumungo siya sa Haring BayangAndres Bonifacio sa Francisco
de Malabon (now:General Trias), upang maabuluyan siya ng mgakawal.

-Tinanggihan siya ni Bonifacio dahil baka sumipotang mga Kastila sa

kanilang lugar at walang lalaban.

Sinabi rin niya na mahirap nilang matatalo ang mgaEspanyol sapagkat

sila ay bagong dating kayamalalakas, at sa panahon na manghina ang
mgaEspanyol magsasama na sila Bonifacio at Aguinaldokaya siguradong
matatalo na ang kalaban. Sumagotsi Aguinaldo sa kanya na hindi ba mas
magandakung sama-sama na silang maglalaban ngayonupang hindi na
sila makaabot pa sa kanilang bayan.

simbahan ng Palanyag (now: Parañaque) bagopasimulan ang paglusob sa
