1898 Controversies.1898 … one of the most significant years of our history, when independence was declared and the first republic in Asia was born. It is an era in history we can be proud of, but one that is also shrouded in controversy. Two leaders of the revolution stand out: General Emilio Aguinaldo and Katipunan Supremo Andres Bonifacio. Were they friends or rivals? Was Bonifacio defrauded during the election at Tejeros, when Aguinaldo was made head of the Katipunan? Did Aguinaldo indeed sell our independence for the sum of P400,000? How did Bonifacio really die?Sandra Aguinaldo of I-Witness discovers the fascinating answers to these questions. She goes back in time through the history books, the actual journals written by both heroes, the museums and libraries which contain the original documents of the Katipunan. She also meets the families of both Bonifacio and Aguinaldo, who over a hundred years later still seem to be at each others’ throats. The secrets and controversies of 1898 will be revealed on I-Witness this Monday right after Saksi.
