SUMMARIZATION OF DECLARATION PAPER
•BEFORE ME, Ambrosio Rianzares Bautista, War Counsellor and Special Delegate designated to proclaim and solemnize this
Declaration of Independence by the Dictatorial Government of the Philippines, pursuant to, and by virtue of, a Decree issued
by the Engregious Dictator Don Emilio Aguinaldo y Famy,
•The undersigned assemblage of military chiefs and others of the army who could not attend, as well as the representatives of
the various towns,
•Taking into account the fact that the people of this country are already tired of bearing the ominous yoke of Spanish
domination,
•Because of arbitrary arrests and abuses of the Civil Guards who cause deaths in connivance with and even under the express
orders of their superior officers who at times would order the shooting of those placed under arrest under the pretext that
they attempted to escape in violation of known Rules and Regulations deportations of illustrious Filipinos, especially those
who decreed by General Blanco at the instigation of the Archbishop and friars interested in keeping them in ignorance for
egoistic and selfish ends, which deportations were carried out through processes more execrable than those of the Inquisition
which every civilized nation repudiates as a trial without hearing.
•Resolved to start a revolution in August 1896 in order to regain the independence and sovereignty of which the people had
been deprived by Spain through Governor Miguel Lopez de Legazpi.
22
•After the Spanish Squadron and the Bombardment of the Americans. Emilio Aguinaldo went back to issue the revolution and
defeated their enemies from each place of the Philippines.
•After the speech of the Supreme Judge of the Universe in the United states, he declared that the Philippines has their own
right and freedom in their own country. Turning into an independent country.
•That they are and have the right to be free and independent; that they have ceased to have allegiance to the Crown of Spain
•And imbued with firm confidence in Divine Providence, we hereby mutually bind ourselves to support this Declaration with
our lives, our fortunes, and with our sacred possession, our Honor.
•We recognize, approve, and ratify, with all the orders emanating from the same, the Dictatorship established by Don Emilio
Aguinaldo whom we reverse as the Supreme Head of this Nation.
•And in punishment for the impunity with which the Government sanctioned the commission of abuses by its officials, and for
the unjust execution of Rizal and others who were sacrified in order to please the insatiable friars in their hydropical thirst for
vengeance against and extermination of all those who oppose their Machiavellian ends
•Unjust execution of Rizal and others who were sacrificed in order to please the insatiable friars in their hydropical thirst for
vengeance against and extermination of all these who oppose their Machiavellian, Execution of the decree-sentence issued by
the Council of State in the appeal in the administrative case interposed by the secular clergy against Royal Orders that
directed, Recollects in exchange for those controlled by them in Mindanao which were transferred to the Jesuits, Adjoining of
regions of the province where the unequalled heroism of its inhabitants fought a one sided battle against superior forces and
General Blamco and General Polavieja for a period of three months, without proper arms nor ammunitions, except bolos,
pointed bamboos and arrows.
23
•Dictator Don Emilio Aguinaldo all the necessary power to enable him to discharge the duties of Government, including the
prerogatives of granting pardon and amnesty.
•The Declaration that the Nation was already free and independent as of this day were in the same flag must be used and the
symbol in the flag that symbolize the Philippines History; The white triangle signifying the famous society "Katipunan" , Three
stars signifying the Philippine Islands, The Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao, and the colors Blue, Red and White commemorating
the flag of the United States of The North America, as a manifestation of our profound gratitude towards great Nation for its
disinterested protection which it lent us and continues lending us.

AUTHOR’S POINT
The heroin of this topic is definitely Emilio Aguilnaldo. He really fought hard for
the independence of our country. From Spanish war, Philippine- American war and
Japanese war. Building alliances, Katipunan, form of government and sacrificing his
life for sake of our freedom and his fellowmen.
That is why we should not take this for granted and learn this history about our
heroes and be grateful that we are living this solemnly freedom because of their
braveness fighting this independence.
26
READERS POINT
The Importance of these study for me was to give honour and respect for those who
sacrificed and fight for our independence; and as a Filipino we must know the history on
how we achieve the independence of our country, having enough knowledge about it
because Globalization occurs now and modernization of new things and sometimes The New
Generation have less interest when it comes in this kind of topic but have more interest
when it comes to new trends that’s why it is so sad when a Filipino did not have any
background of his/her story.
The Declaration of Independence of Filipinos in June 12, 1898 is very important for the
whole country of the Philippines. This is the Day of Freedom in Filipino people under the
Spanish domination. We need to be thankful to all the heroes and forefathers who fought
hard for our freedom from the frightful oppression and colonization by the Spaniards. We
need to reminisce all the efforts of our forefathers and heroes who loves our nation and
fought just for our mother country even this cost of their lives. So as a Filipino we need to
have a devotion love to our country or by having a heart of a nationalism. What we are now
today is because we achieved the day of our freedom, the independence of the Philippines.
