Today, I will be featuring some photos from when I went to the provincial capitol and snapped photos of the statue of the first president of the Republic of the Philippines, General Emilio Aguinaldo.
Had to feature the more colorful one because it's so much more beautiful. lol.
Now for you history aficionados, here's an excerpt from wikipedia.
"Emilio Aguinaldo y Famy (March 22, 1869 – February 6, 1964) was a Filipino revolutionary, politician, and a military leader who is officially recognized as the first and the youngest President of the Philippines (1899–1901) and first president of a constitutional republic in Asia. He led Philippine forces first against Spain in the latter part of the Philippine Revolution (1896–1898), and then in the Spanish–American War (1898), and finally against the United States during the Philippine–American War (1899–1901). He was captured in Palanan, Isabela by American forces on March 23, 1901, which brought an end to his presidency."
