1. Background of the
Author
Emilio Aguinaldo was born on March 22, 1869,
in Cavite El Viejo also known as Kawit, Cavite
today.
His parents are Carlos Jamir Aguinaldo and
Trinidad Famy-Aguinaldo. Emilio was a
Filipino leader and politician who fought first
against Spain and later against the United States
for the independence of the Philippines.
Emilio Aguinaldo was the first and youngest
President of the Philippines (1899–1901) and
the 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), then in the Spanish–
American War (1898), and finally against the
United States during the Philippine–
American War (1899–1901).
In 1935, Aguinaldo
ran unsuccessfully for
president of the
Philippine
Commonwealth
against Manuel
Quezon. He was also
one of the Filipino
historical figures to be
recommended as a
national hero of the
Philippines.
What is "Gunita of
Higmasikan"
Mga Gunita ng Himagsikan is the memoir of Emilio Aguinaldo
written based on a diary he kept, several documents he preserved,
and family lore he gathered from his elders. Aguinaldo was one of
the many members of the Katipunan and belonged to the Magdalo
faction. He led numerous attacks and won victories against the
Spaniards in the Cavite province. After the death of Bonifacio, he
assumed total leadership of the revolution. Later, Aguinaldo forcibly
set up a provisional dictatorship in the country, declared Philippine
independence on June 12, 1898, and sworn in as the first president
of the new, self-governed Philippine republic.
Believed to be of two volumes, Aguinaldo’s memoir includes
accounts beginning from his birth, his early life, and his
participation in the revolution. However, the first volume ends
the memoir only with the details of the Treaty in Biak-na-Bato.

“MGA GUNITA NG HIMAGSIKAN”
• It gave us essential information to visualize how Filipino revolutionaries
engaged in battle with the Spaniards which were important events in the
Philippine history.
• It chronicled the revolution which showed us how united and persistent the
Filipinos were to end the Spanish occupation.
• This allows us to grasp how great their struggles were during the colonial
era to the point that what they desired was nothing more than
independence.
• We were able to view history through the eyes of Aguinaldo , which leads
us to a better appreciation of heroism and efforts important to the freedom
we enjoy today.
