2. Chapter 30: Magdiwang Council Reorganized
This Chapter tackles about the split nature of the KKK, divided unto two factions called
o
“Magdalo” and “Magdiwang”, the latter of which was led by Bonifacio while the former was led
aC s
by Aguinaldo. In this Chapter, Aguinaldo drew a comparison between the Magdalo and
vi y re
Magdiwang, claiming that the Magdiwang was a monarchical faction being led by their “king”
which is Bonifacio, while he claims that his faction (Magdalo) stood for Republican Ideals. In
the reorganization of the Magdiwang council, they took up effort on dividing up the territories
they have liberated through the use of regional governments.

3. Chapter 38: My Election to the Presidency
is
This chapter focused on the assembly meeting between the two factions (Magdalo and
Magdiwang) and their effort to streamline the leadership of the revolutionary government by
Th
electing a universal leader among the two factions. The election was in Aguinaldo’s favor since
he was elected as the President of the Republic while Bonifacio was relegated to a lesser position
albeit it’s of huge significance as well. When the election was held, Aguinaldo was away from
sh
Tejeros, being just informed by the results of the election from his brother (which persuaded him
to take oath at Tejeros) with that, Bonifacio held a meeting on which he declared the election in
Tejeros as null and void.
