That source does not give a list of names, but the contradictions I see are:

Kalaw cites "Taylor, Volume II, 2 AJ." as his source . I interpret that as an attribution to Volume II, Galley 2 of Major J. R. M. Taylor's translation and compilation of captured insurgent records —*War Department, Bureau of Insular Affairs (1907), “I. Telegraphic Correspondence of Emilio Aguinaldo, July 15, 1898 to February 28, 1899, Annotated”, in Taylor, John R.M., Compilation of Philippine Insurgent Records, Combined Arms Research Library, <http://cgsc.cdmhost.com/cgi-bin/showfile.exe?CISOROOT=/p4013coll11&CISOPTR=374&filename=374.pdf>. Retrieved on 10 March 2008 —.
Kalaw says on page 121 that there were a total of 68 elected and 68 appointed members, vs. the 54 asserted in the infobox.
Hmmm... an alternative verifiable and citeable source —Agoncillo (1970), History of the Filipino People, Malaya Books, <http://books.google.com/books?id=VTwMAAAAIAAJ>— disagrees with both this article and with Kalaw. Agoncillo says on page 205 That because of peace and order conditions in some provinces Aguinaldo appointed 50 delegates to the Congress on September 4 and appointed 10 more on September 10, for a grand total of 60 appointed delegates.
Another alternative verifiable source, this one not citeable because of WP:SELFPUB, —Constantino, Renato (1975), The Philippines: A Past Revisited (Twentieth printing, July, 2005 ed.), Manila, Philippines: self-published, ISBN 971-895-800-2, <http://books.google.com/books?id=881tJgAACAAJ>— says on page 216 that that Aguinaldo appointed "more than sixty" delegates. Onp age 217 he says "out of a total of 136 members, only around 50 were present at the inaugural session". -- Boracay Bill (talk) 05:21, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
