Emilio Aguinaldo Killed Off His Rivals
« on: October 19, 2014, 07:09:46 PM »



Emilio Aguinaldo is adulated in his home province for his fight against foreign powers and for becoming the first president of the fledgling republic. Some historians, however, paint him in a more villainous light. In the 1890s, the Philippine revolution against Spanish rule was in full swing. Andres Bonifacio, leader of the Katipunan—a large rebel force fighting the Spanish overlords—was believed to have been at odds with Aguinaldo, a rising star in the group.

By 1897, tensions escalated within the Katipunan, as both Bonifacio’s and Aguinaldo’s factions vied for control. Historians state that Bonifacio cordially received Aguinaldo’s men in his camp, not knowing that there was a warrant for his arrest. Aguinaldo’s men suddenly attacked, stabbed Bonifacio in the neck and allegedly raped his wife.

Andres Bonifacio and one of his brothers were put on trial, but the judges and jury were loyal to Aguinaldo. Even their defense lawyer argued that his clients were guilty of treason and of conspiring to have their forces surrender to the Spaniards. They were executed on May 10, 1897.

Spain eventually relinquished its hold on the Philippines, though it was quickly supplanted by a new world power—the United States. Sources suggest that Aguinaldo knew that the Americans would be more welcoming to him, but first he had to dispose of another rival—General Antonio Luna, who was fiercely opposed to the Americans.

On June 5, 1889, Aguinaldo sent a telegram to Luna, asking to meet in a convent. When Luna and his aide arrived, they found not Aguinaldo but rather a group of assassins who shot and stabbed both men to death. According to theorists, Aguinaldo’s mother peeked from the window of the convent and asked, “Is he still moving?”

Even though Aguinaldo wasn’t directly linked to the killings, it wouldn’t have been out of character for him. Those who ran for the presidency years later used this to their advantage, casting doubt on Aguinaldo’s legacy by pointing out the unsolved intrigue behind the murders of both Luna and the Bonifacios. -- http://listverse.com/

well, no one assassinated him.  and if the the accounts of his villainy were true, he did spend quite a long time living with his conscience.
