About This Book

A first-person account by a Filipino revolutionary leader recounts the uprising against Spanish colonial rule, early military successes, and the formation of a provisional government. It details the negotiation and terms of a peace agreement that involved the surrender of arms for indemnity, the perceived bad faith of Spanish authorities, later discussions with American naval officers, the formal proclamation of independence, and internal disputes over funds. The narrative blends battlefield chronicle, treaty clauses, and diplomatic exchanges to justify the author’s actions and explain the political course pursued during the struggle for national self-determination.
