Today in Philippine History (Philatelic Edition):
JUNE 23, 1898
Emilio Aguinaldo issued a decree written by Apolinario Mabini that changed his dictatorial government established on May 24, 1898 to a revolutionary one.
Aguinaldo assumed the post as president and created different departments.
The decree also provided for the creation of Congress that was advisory and ministerial.
The aim of the new government was to "struggle for the independence of the Philippines until all nations, including Spain, shall expressly recognize it, and to prepare the country so that the true republic may be established."
