General Emilio Aguinaldo proclaimed the sovereignty and independence of the Philippine islands from Spanish colonization.

The declaration was never recognized by either the United States or Spain. Later in 1898, Spain ceded the Philippines to the United States in the 1898 Treaty of Paris that ended the Spanish-American War.
