1897 - The Biak-na-Bato revolutionary republic is established upon the retreat of Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo's generals to the mountainous town in Bulakan amidst the revolutionaries' demoralization following the power grab against, kangaroo court trial, and the tragic execution, of Katipunan Supremo Andres Bonifacio during the Philippine Revolution against Spain; the revolution began by the Supremo through the secret society-turned-revolutionary-government Kagalanggalangang Katipunan nang manga Anak nang Bayan (KKK) was replaced by Aguinaldo's "so-called central government" based in Cavite; while the Biak-na-Bato's constitution declares the revolutionary aim to be "the separation of the Philippines from the Spanish monarchy and its formation into an independent state," Aguinaldo and company would soon forge a peace pact with the supposed enemy Spaniards.
