CONTRIBUTION
• Gave an eyewitness account of how these events
really happened
• Proved the rumor that Aguinaldo ordered to
execute Bonifacio false
• Allows us to see a different perspective from
Aguinaldo’s insight since people mostly view
him negatively
• We aren’t always the kind of people who can’t
find back
• Helped historians in terms of what
governmental system they tried having back
then
RELEVANCE

• Aguinaldo set an example of what the

leaders of the nation should be like

• Sometimes, people have to fall to rise

back up again

• The people willingly followed Aguinaldo,

without him telling them to come along;
reflects on today’s citizens
