 With the growing suspension
of both parties against each
other, a convention assembly
was held in Imus which was
meant to mend the rift
between two factions.
 The assembly ended with no
tangible results and was
rescheduled.
 The Magdiwang organized
another assembly while the
Magdalo battled the Spanish.
 Election occurred.
 Daniel Tirona objected with
the election of Jose del
Rosario as better officer.
 Bonifacio pulled a gun against
Tirona.
 Election was annulled.
 Bonifacio sent a letter to his
uncle in law, Mariano Alvarez
mentioning that he was
belittled during the assembly.
He also wrote to Emilio
Jacinto stating that he was
against the idea of establishing
a new government.
Tejeros Convention occurred on
March 22, 1897 which was
Aguinaldo’s birthday. It was not
mentioned that the Magdalo President
Baldomero Aguinaldo intended to
continue the disrupted assembly,
however the Magdalo members didn’t
show up on the agreed place.
Agoncillo’s events covered up what
happened before the Tejeros
convention ensued. He mentioned
important events that took place
before or prior to the said convention.
 and was also present in the Tejeros during and after the assembly. But
convention which leads it to being there was also events that weren’t at
bias because he was only able to all mentioned in the primary source
write his experience and the group and vice versa.
where he belonged from his own
perspective. The content from this
account seems to be shorter than the
secondary source.
