Today in Philippine History (Philatelic Edition Series 2):
JUNE 23, 1898
Emilio Aguinaldo delivered a message made by Apolinario Mabini which cited his reasons for changing the dictatorial government to revolutionary.
On the same day, he issued a decree establishing the Revolutionary Government. Major changes were then made and implemented.
The Dictator title used by Aguinaldo was changed to President of the Revolutionary Government and Captain-General of the Army.
Four departments were established, delegates to the Revolutionary Congress were appointed to draft the constitution, and an Executive Board of the Revolutionary Committee based in Hong Kong was created.
The Revolutionary Government was established to attain independence for the country and pave the way for the creation of a true republic.
