5 NOVEMBER
1805 - Colonial Philippines' governor for Zamboanga, Francisco Bayot, concludes a treaty of peace with Mohamad Ali Mudin,
sultan of Jolo, during the Spanish era; the treaty, which was in
keeping with the policy of colonial propriety governor Gonzalez Aguilar
of delegating warfare with the Moros [and agreements]
to the provincial authorities under the colonial central government's
aid and directions, involved the agreement that the sultan prohibits
foreigners from residing in his dominions without prior consent of the Spanish government, and in case of war, to close his port to the enemies of Spain.
1897 - Filipino revolutionary head Emilio Aguinaldo authorizes Pedro A. Paterno "to
enter into harmonious relations" with the colonial Spanish government
they were supposed to be fighting against during the Philippine
Revolution; the development comes following the retreat of
Aguinaldo's generals to the mountainous town of Biak-na-Bato in Bulacan
as Cavite, where his "so-called central government" was based,
succumbed to the Spanish forces as the revolutionary fervor was
smothered by Aguinaldo's power grab against, and execution, of revolutionary leader Andres Bonifacio in May that year, with "many
[revolutionaries] from Manila, Laguna and Batangas, who were fighting
for the province (of Cavite), [having been] demoralized"; Paterno,
who was a "purely volunteer mediator," without official standing and who
had offered himself to the olonial Gov-Gen. Primo de Rivera as
negotiator, was bestowed with full powers by Aguinaldo with " to determine, fix, and receive the total sum of funds or values which the Spanish government will grant us."
