He played a pivotal role in the Philippines' revolution against Spain, and the subsequent Philippine-American War. <BR> He became the Philippines' first President. He was also the youngest (at age 29) to have become the country's president, and the longest-lived (having survived to age 94). <BR> In 1894, Aguinaldo joined the Katipunan or the K.K.K., a secret organization led by Andrés Bonifacio, dedicated to the expulsion of the Spanish and independence of the Philippines through armed force. <BR> The Katipunan revolt against the Spanish began in the last week of August 1896, in San Juan del Monte (now part of Metro Manila).[12] However, Aguinaldo and other Cavite rebels initially refused to join in the offensive due to lack of arms. Their absence contributed to Bonifacio's defeat.[11] While Bonifacio and other rebels were forced to resort to guerrilla warfare, Aguinaldo and the Cavite rebels won major victories in set-piece battles, temporarily driving the Spanish out of their area.[11] <BR> On 12 June 1898, at Aguinaldo's ancestral home in Cavite, Philippine independence was proclaimed and The Act of Declaration of Philippine Independence was read. The act had been prepared and written in Spanish by Ambrosio Rianzares Bautista, who also read its proclamation. On 18 June, Aguinaldo issued a decree proclaiming a Dictatorial Government headed by himself.[28] On June 23, another decree signed by Aguinaldo was issued, replacing the Dictatorial Government with a Revolutionary Government, with himself as President.[29][30] <BR> On the night of February 4, 1899, a Filipino was shot by an American sentry. This incident is considered the beginning of the Philippine-American War, and open fighting soon broke out between American troops and pro-independence Filipinos. <BR> On March 23, 1901, Aguinaldo was captured at his headquarters in Paanan by U.S. General Frederick Funston, with the help of Macabebe trackers. The American task force gained access to Aguinaldo's camp by pretending to be captured prisoners. Aguinaldo was confined at Malacanang Palace in what is today's State Dining Room. On April 19, 1901, Aguinaldo took an oath of allegiance to the United States, formally ending the First Republic and recognizing the sovereignty of the United States over the Philippines. <BR> </CENTER> </TD> <TD width=25% valign="top"><BR> <FONT color=#330099 face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size=3> <center><B><U> Presidents of the Philippines</B></U> <BR><BR> <A HREF="aguinaldo.htm"> <FONT color=#0000ff face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size=1> EMILIO AGUINALDO -1898 - 1901</A> <BR><BR> <A HREF="quezon.htm"> <FONT color=#0000ff face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size=1> MANUEL QUEZON - Nov 15, 1935 - Aug 1, 1944</A> <BR><BR> <A HREF="osmena.htm"> <FONT color=#0000ff face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size=1> SERGIO OSMEÑA - Aug 1, 1944 - May 27, 1946</A> <BR><BR> <A HREF="laurel.htm"> <FONT color=#0000ff face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size=1> JOSE LAUREL - Oct 14, 1943 - Aug 15, 1945</A> <BR><BR> <A HREF="roxas.htm"> <FONT color=#0000ff face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size=1> MANUEL ROXAS - Jul 4, 1946 - Apr 15, 1948</A> <BR><BR> <A HREF="quirino.htm"> <FONT color=#0000ff face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size=1> ELPIDIO QUIRINO - Apr 17, 1948 - Nov 10, 1953</A> <BR><BR> <A HREF="magsaysay.htm"> <FONT color=#0000ff face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size=1> RAMON MAGSAYSAY - Dec 30, 1953 - Mar 17, 1957</A> <BR><BR> <A HREF="garcia.htm"> <FONT color=#0000ff face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size=1> CARLOS GARCIA - Mar 18, 1957 - Dec 30, 1961</A> <BR><BR> <A HREF="macapagal.htm"> <FONT color=#0000ff face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size=1> DIOSDADO MACAPAGAL - Dec 30, 1961 - Dec 30, 1965</A> <BR><BR> <A HREF="marcos.htm"> <FONT color=#0000ff face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size=1> FERDINAND MARCOS - Dec 30, 1965 Feb 25, 1986</A> <BR><BR> <A HREF="aquino.htm"> <FONT color=#0000ff face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size=1> CORAZON AQUINO - Feb 25, 1986 - June 30, 1992</A> <BR><BR> <A HREF="ramos.htm"> <FONT color=#0000ff face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size=1> FIDEL RAMOS - June 30, 1992 - June 30, 1998</A> <BR><BR> <A HREF="estrada.htm"> <FONT color=#0000ff face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size=1> JOSEPH ESTRADA - 1998 - 2001</A> <BR><BR> <A HREF="arroyo.htm"> <FONT color=#0000ff face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size=1> GLORIA MACAPAGAL-ARROYO - 2001 - Present</A> </CENTER> </TD> </TR> </table> <CENTER> <font face="Trebuchet MS,Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="1" color="#000000"> The copyright to this site, the script 'The History of the Philippines' and all concepts are held by Robin Jacob.
