1897 - More than one and a half months after bloodily sealing sealed his usurpation of revolutionary leadership from Supremo Andres Bonifacio y de Castro, Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo y Famy has the nerve to call on everyone who possesses honor and the sense of personal dignity; the Filipino, the Asiatic, the American and the European all alike suffer; to join the Philippine national revolution against Spanish colonial rule; Aguinaldo had earlier dislodged Bonifacio from the helm of Katipunan (KKK) revolutionary power during the rushed and anomalously conducted Tejeros Convention and subsequently ordered Bonifacio's murder-by-execution on May 10, 1897 sometime after the latter had declared the election illegal with the Acta de Tejeros.
