  1. ^ Aguinaldo ran for president in 1935 under the ticket of the National Socialist Party,[6] but in opening his campaign he disavowed association with any political party.[7]

Emilio Aguinaldo y Famy QSC CCLH PMM KGCR[e] (Spanish: [eˈmiljo aɣiˈnaldoj ˈfami]: March 22, 1869 – February 6, 1964) was a Filipino revolutionary, statesman, and military leader who is the youngest president of the Philippines (1899–1901) and became the first president of the Philippines and of an Asian constitutional republic. He led the Philippine forces first against Spain in the Philippine Revolution (1896–1898), then in the Spanish–American War (1898), and finally against the United States during the Philippine–American War (1899–1901).

Aguinaldo is known as a national hero in the Philippines.[10] However, he is also somewhat controversial in the country due to his alleged involvement in the deaths of the revolutionary leader Andrés Bonifacio and general Antonio Luna, and for his collaboration with the Japanese Empire during their occupation of the Philippines in World War II.[11]

  11. ^ Ara 2015, p. 170 "Aguinaldo's collaboration with Japan began with his contact with Gen. Masami Maeda, Homma's chief of staff.[...] Aguinaldo (ca. 1942) voluntarily met with Maeda at his residence in Cavite to suggest the creation of a provisional government to terminate American rule and cooperate with the Japanese."
