1897 - A day after Emilio Aguinaldo y Famy sealed tightly his revolutionary power grab by the elimination of Kataastaasang Kagalanggalangang Katipunan nang manga Anak nang Bayan Supremo Andres Bonifacio y de Castro, the former loses pitched battles against
the Spanish colonial forces under Governor-General Primo de Rivera in
Indang, Cavite, enabling the enemy colonizers to recapture a number of
upland towns including Mendez, Nunez,
Alfonso, Baileng, Magallanes, and Maragondon, the mountain site of
Bonifacio's murder; Apolinario Mabini y Maranan, Aguinaldo's future
trusted adviser and Prime Minister, will write decades later that
Aguinaldo's power-grab against and assassination-cum-execution of
Supremo Bonifacio was a tragedy that "smothered the enthusiasm for the revolutionary cause," with many revolutionaries from "Manila, Laguna, and Batangas, who were fighting for the province (of Cavite)" being demoralized and subsequently quitting.
