Emilio Aguinaldo ca. 1919 (Restored).jpgEmilio 
Aguinaldo y Famy
 (March 22, 1869 – 
February 6, 1964) was a Filipino revolutionary, 
statesman, and military leader who is officially 
recognized as the first and the youngest 
president of the Philippines (1899–1901) and the 
first president of a constitutional republic in 
Asia. He led Philippine forces first against 
Spain in the Philippine Revolution (1896–1898), 
then in the Spanish–American War (1898), and 
finally against the United States during the 
Philippine–American War (1899–1901).

Aguinaldo remains a controversial figure in Filipino history. Though he has 
been recommended as a national hero of the Philippines, many have criticized him 
for his involvement in the deaths of revolutionary leader Andrés Bonifacio and 
general Antonio Luna, as well as his sympathies for the Japanese Empire during 
their occupation of the Philippines in World War II.

On May 28, 1898, Aguinaldo gathered a force of about 18,000 troops and fought 
against a small garrison of Spanish troops in Alapan, Imus, Cavite. The battle 
lasted from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. After the victory at Alapan, Aguinaldo 
unfurled the Philippine flag for the first time and hoisted it at the Teatro 
Caviteño in Cavite Nuevo (present-day Cavite City) in front of Filipino 
revolutionaries and more than 300 captured Spanish troops. A group of American 
sailors of the US Asiatic Squadron also witnessed the unfurling. Flag Day is 
celebrated every May 28 to honor the battle.

Main articles: Philippine Declaration of Independence and Revolutionary 
Government of the Philippines

On June 12, Aguinaldo promulgated the Philippine Declaration of Independence 
from Spain in his own mansion house in Cavite El Viejo, believing that 
declaration would inspire the Filipino people to eagerly rise against the 
Spaniards. On June 18, he issued a decree formally establishing his dictatorial 
government in which he also provided the organization of the local government 
and the establishment and the composition of the Revolutionary Congress.

On June 23, Aguinaldo issued a decree replacing his dictatorial government 
with a revolutionary government with himself as president upon the 
recommendation of his adviser Apolinario Mabini. The decree defined the 
organization of the central government and the establishment and the election of 
delegates to the Revolutionary Congress and to prepare the shift from a 
revolutionary government to a republic.

By May 1898, Filipino troops had cleared Cavite of Spanish forces. In late 
June 1898, Aguinaldo, with the help of American allies, who were now landing in 
Cavite, was now preparing to drive the Spaniards out of Manila. The first 
contingent of American troops arrived in Cavite on June 30, the second under 
General Francis V. Greene on July 17, and the third under General Arthur 
MacArthur Jr on July 30. By then, 12,000 US troops had landed in the 
Philippines.

Aguinaldo had presented surrender terms to Spanish Governor-General of the 
Philippines Basilio Augustín, who refused them initially since he believed that 
more Spanish troops would be sent to lift the siege. As the combined forces of 
Filipinos and Americans were closing in, Augustín realized that his position was 
hopeless, secretly continued to negotiate with Aguinaldo, and even offered 
₱1 million, but Aguinaldo refused. When the Spanish Cortes learned of Augustín’s 
attempt to negotiate the surrender of his army to Filipinos under Aguinaldo, it 
was furious and relieved Augustín of his duties effective July 24. He was 
replaced by Fermin Jáudenes. On June 16, warships departed Spain to lift the 
siege, but they altered course for Cuba where a Spanish fleet was imperiled by 
the US Navy.


The
Philippines
,  officially known as the Republic of the 
Philippines
(Filipino: Republika ng Pilipinas), 
is a sovereign island 
country
in Southeast Asia situated in 
the western Pacific  Ocean. It consists of about 7,641 islands that are 
categorized broadly under  three main geographical divisions from north 
to south: Luzon , Visayas 
, and Mindanao . The capital city of the 
Philippines  is Manila and the most 
populous city is Quezon City , both part of
Metro Manila
.

 
The  Philippines’ location on the Pacific Ring of 
Fire
and close to the equator makes the  Philippines prone to 
earthquakes and typhoons, but also endows it with abundant  natural 
resources and some of the world’s greatest
biodiversity
. The Philippines has an area of  approximately 
300,000 square kilometers (115,831 sq mi), and a population of  more 
than 100 million with faster growth than any other east Asian country. It  
is the seventh-most populated country in Asia 
and the 12th most populated country in the 
world. An  additional 12 million Filipinos live 
overseas
, comprising one of the world’s  largest
diasporas
. Multiple ethnicities and 
cultures are found throughout  the islands. In prehistoric times,
Negritos
were some of the archipelago’s  earliest inhabitants. 
They were followed by successive waves of
Austronesian peoples
. Exchanges with Chinese,
Malay
, Indian , and
Islamic
states occurred. Then, various nations 
were established under the rule of Datus ,
Rajahs
, Sultans
Lakans
..

The arrival of Ferdinand 
Magellan
Homonhon,
Eastern Samar
in 1521 marked the beginning of  Hispanic 
colonization. In 1543, Spanish explorer Ruy López de 
Villalobos
named the archipelago Las Islas 
Filipinas
in honor of Philip II of Spain 
. With the arrival of Miguel López de Legazpi 
from Mexico City, in  1565, the first Hispanic settlement in the 
archipelago was established. The  Philippines became part of the
Spanish Empire
for more than 300 years. This  resulted in
Roman Catholicism
becoming the dominant  religion. During this 
time, Manila became the western hub of the  
trans-Pacific trade connecting
Asia
with Acapulco in the
Americas
using Manila galleons .

As the 19th century gave way to the 20th, there followed in quick succession  
the Philippine Revolution , which spawned the  
short-lived First Philippine Republic
followed by the  bloody Philippine–American War 
of conquest by US  military force. Aside from the period of
Japanese occupation
, the United States 
retained sovereignty over the  islands until after
World War II
, when the Philippines was  recognized as an 
independent nation. Since then, the Philippines has often had a  
tumultuous experience with democracy, which included the overthrow of a  
dictatorship by a non-violent revolution .

The nation’s large population and economic potential 
have led it to be classified  as a middle power 
. It is a founding member of the United Nations 
, World Trade Organization ,
Association of Southeast Asian Nations
, the
Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation
forum, and  the
East Asia Summit
. It also hosts the  headquarters of the
Asian Development Bank
. The Philippines is  considered to be an
emerging market
and a newly industrialized 
country
, which has an  economy transitioning from being one 
based on agriculture to one based more on  services and manufacturing.

USPS First Class mail takes about 3-5 business days to arrive in the U.S. International shipping times cannot be estimated as they vary from country to country.

Standard international mail to many countries does not include a tracking number, and can also be slow sometimes. For a tracking number and signature confirmation, you may want to do Express Mail International Shipping, which costs more, however, is the fastest and most secure. Additionally you may be able to receive your order in as little as 3-5 business days using this method. For Express Mail International, it may be possible to place up to 10-15 items in one package (for the one shipping cost) as it is flat rate envelope, which may be the most cost-effective, secure and fastest way to receive items internationally. Send me a message about this and I can update your invoice should you want this method.

With every purchase, you are leveraging my many years of experience to get a more complete context and understanding of the piece of history you are getting.
