Aguinaldo, Emilio (b. 23 Mar. 1869, d. 6 Feb. 1964). Founder of the Philippine Republic Born in Cavite, he studied at the Colegio de San Juan de Letran. He became hostile to Spanish rule, and after leading a successful attack on a Spanish garrison at the outbreak of the revolution against Spain (1896–7), he became acknowledged as one of the nationalist leaders. As such, he was elected president of the revolutionary government. When this was defeated by the Spanish and he was forced into exile, he accepted US help, and in 1898 returned to found the Philippine Republic on 23 January 1900. He turned against the US forces, who soon defeated him and made him swear allegiance to the USA, an act which marked the decline of the Filipino resistance movement. He retired into private life, though in 1935 he stood unsuccessfully for President. Accused in 1945 of collaboration with the Japanese in World War II, he was arrested but never went on trial. On his release he was appointed a member of the Philippines Council of State, and devoted the rest of his life to improving US–Philippines relations.
