1898
On this day, September 29, in 1898, the Malolos Congress passed into law its first act two weeks after it first convened on Sept. 15, 1898.
In its inaugural session, Congress ratified the Declaration of Independence that Ambrosio Rianzares Bautista wrote and proclaimed in Kawit, Cavite on June 12, 1898, upon orders from President Emilio Aguinaldo.
The ratification established nationwide recognition for the independence of the Philippines and Aguinaldo’s Revolutionary Government, repeating but with much wide recognition the events during the Bacoor Assembly on August 1, 1898.
In his speech after the Malolos Congress passed into law, Aguinaldo said, “Now, we witness the truth of what the famous President Monroe said to the effect that the United States was for the Americans; now I say that the Philippines is for the Filipinos.”(http://everydayhistory.ph)
