Lost Memory for Tejeros Convention v.1

contrary to what many people know, tejeros convention happened in casa hacienda which is situated in the present day rosario, cavite - my hometown. it lies in the border of gen. trias and our small town so i won't blame some people who mistakenly say that it's found in gen. trias, cavite.

this convention very historic in nature. it is known to be the first presidential and vice presidential election in the philippine history. emilio aguinaldo became the president and mariano trias became his vice president. in this same convention, it was believed that the modern day armed forces of the philippines had its humble beginning. artemio ricarte became the first armed forces chief. so cool right? not many people knows how historic our little town is.

on another note, tejeros convention won't be famous without andres bonifacio and daniel tirona. tirona became the first filipino to question the credibility of the elected official. lol! he insulted bonifacio being "uneducated" so he should not have the post of director of the interior of the revolutionary government. funny right? what happened on march 22, 1897 still happens today. so for andres bonifacio, he became the first filipino to use his power (as the Supremo of the Katipunan) to nullify an election. he has his points. i am not taking sides but what would bonifacio expect in an election packed with magdiwangs?

so sad, for it concluded this way. anyways, look where we are right now. history repeats itself. di ba?
