    The Tejeros Convention was a meeting held on March 22, 1897 between the Magdiwang and Magdalo factions of the Katipunan in Cavite to elect officials for a new revolutionary government to replace the Katipunan. Andres Bonifacio opposed forming a new government, wanting to maintain the existing Katipunan system. Emilio Aguinaldo defeated Bonifacio in the presidential election. This led to Bonifacio's arrest and execution as he was seen as an obstacle to the new government. The convention planted the seeds of conflict between Bonifacio and Aguinaldo that would have long-term consequences for the Philippine revolution.

    Tejeros Convention

    Author:Santiago V. Alvarez-General for the Katipunan

    Santiago Virata Álvarez was born on  July 25, 1872 – October 30, 1930) was a revolutionary

    general and a founder and honorary president of the first directorate of the Nacionalista Party. Also

    known as Kidlat ng Apoy because of his inflamed bravery and dedication as commander of Cavite's

    famous battles (particularly that in Dalahican), he was celebrated in present-day Cavite City as the

    Hero of the Battle of Dalahican.

    The Tejeros Convention is the meeting held between the Magdiwang and

    Magdalo fanctions of the congregation in San Francisco De Malabon (General Trias),

    Cavite on March 22, 1897, these are the first presidential elections in Philippine history,

    though that only the katipuneros can participate, and not the general population. It was

    led by Magdiwang leader Andres Bonifacio and Magdalo leader Emilio

    Aguinaldo. Despite Bonifacio's concern on the lack of officials and representatives from

    other provinces, the Magdalo was obliged to proceed with the election.

    The purpose of this convention is to develop a plan and action to strengthen the

    defense in Cavite. However, instead of discussing the alleged reason for the meeting,

    the leaders of the Katipunan decided to form a new revolutionary government in place

    of the Katipunan and elect officials for it. Andres Bonifacio opposed this initiative and

    aimed at having a constitution and government that currently exists and this is the

    Katipunan. According to him, all of its members of any given rank shall serve under the

    principle of liberty, equality and fraternity, upon which republicanism was founded.

    Amidst implications on whether the Katipunan, which operated as an alternative

    revolutionary government,[5] should be established as a monarchy or as a republic,


    Bonifacio defended that it should be maintained as a republic. But the wishes of the

    Magdalo in Cavite members of the attendees prevailed. Although reluctant, bonifacio

    presided over the election with the guarantee that the majority would respect whatever

    the outcome would be. As opposed to the original agenda of the convention, the

    election of bonifacio was questioned by Daniel Tirona and it was said that only educated

    people could occupy the said position. As a result of this insult, bonifacio declared as

    chairman of the assembly and Supremo of the assembly that the said election was void.

    Later, bonifacio was considered an obstacle to the new revolutionary government so he

    was arrested before he could leave Cavite, tried and sentenced to death.

    This is the result of the Presidential elections

    Aguinaldo 146/ 256

    Bonifacio 81/256

    Mariano Trias 29/256

    This is the final result of the elections.

    Captain-General: Artemio Ricarte - Magdiwang

    Seed of discontent

    Teodoro A. Agoncillo-Filipino Historian

    Author:  J. Revell Carr

    The September 23, 1972 declaration of Martial Law planted the seeds of discontent that would

    make dissent and revolution necessary—even vital—to the restoration of democracy.

    Seeds of Discontent | sk. A narrative history of the largely unexplored events—starting almost

    a century before—that inspired the colonists to launch the American Revolution. ... The rebellion

    spread down the coast, and for the first time colonists risked their lives against English

    firepower.

    While these are the direct causes, J. Revell Carr takes a longer view, and in Seeds of Discontent,

    he locates the roots of the Revolution a century earlier, and argues that "the cumulative effect of

    more than one hundred years of British disrespect, mismanagement, and exploitation prepared the

    minds of the colonists ... SEEDS OF DISCONTENT. THE DEEP ROOTS OF THE AMERICAN

    REVOLUTION 1650-1750. Ahistory of the 100 years of “abuse, exploitation, mismanagement,

    and disrespect” suffered by the American colonies at the hands of Britain.
