Emilio Aguinaldo for his "recent military achievements" and claims that his arrangement for the latter's meeting with US Admiral Spencer Dewey is right; Dewey and the American government has actually conned Aguinaldo into stupidly believing that America is an ally, as will later be shown in the Mock Battle of Manila and most clearly, in the eruption of the Filipino-American War.
