    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]

    Early life and career[edit]


    Emilio Aguinaldo y Famy was born on March 22, 1869[f] in Cavite el Viejo (present-day Kawit) in the
    province of Cavite to Carlos Aguinaldo y Jamir and Trinidad Famy y Villanueva,[e] a couple that had
    eight children, the seventh of whom was Emilio Sr. He was baptized and raised in Roman
    Catholicism.[18] The Aguinaldo family was quite well-to-do as his father, Carlos Aguinaldo, was the
    community's appointed gobernadorcillo (municipal governor) in the Spanish Viceregal administration.
    [19]
    He studied at Colegio de San Juan de Letran, but could not finish his studies because of an
    outbreak of cholera in 1882.
    He became a cabeza de barangay in 1895 when the Maura Law called for the reorganization of local
    governments. At the age of 25, Aguinaldo became Cavite el Viejo's first gobernadorcillo capitan
    municipal (municipal governor-captain) while he was on a business trip in Mindoro.
