June 12 proclamation modified later by another
proclamation done at Malolos, Bulacan, upon
the insistence of Apolinario Mabini, chief
adviser of General Aguinaldo, who objected to
the original proclamation, because it placed the
Philippine under the protection of the united
states.
 Aguinaldo’s declaration was never recognized
by either United states or Spain. Later 1898,
Spain ceded the Philippines to the US in the
Treaty of Paris that ended the Spanish-American
