On January 1, 1899, President Emilio Aguinaldo addressed the Malolos Congress to propose establishing "national solidarity" with the people of Sulu and Mindanao upon the basis of "real federation with absolute respect for their beliefs and traditions." Throughout 1898, the Aguinaldo-led government had made attempts to gain the support of the Muslim datus in the name of unity, highlighting how other ethnic groups such as those in the Cordillera have joined the cause of the Philippine Revolution. It had also warned how the Americans would curtail liberties as the Spanish had done. This was done as reports were received in Luzon on how some Muslim warriors fought against the revolutionaries as they had fought the Spanish.
