Pact of Biak-na-Bato
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Pact of Biak na Bato, signed in December 1897, created a truce between rival rebel groups in the Philippine Revolution: Magdiwang, led by Mariano Alvarez and Magdalo, led by Emilio Aguinaldo. Aguinaldo and his fellow revolutionaries were given amnesty and a monetary indemnity by the Spanish government in return for which the rebel Government would go into voluntary exile in Hong Kong.
