Tejeros Convention

1. The Tejeros
Assembly

3. The first day of the Philippine Revolution
saw the defeat of Katipunan in Manila,
focusing Bonifacio and his me to retreat
to the mountains of Montalban.
Meanwhile, in Cavite, the Katipunan
under Emilio Aguinaldo managed to
subdue the Spanish forces by surprise
and take control of the province.
However, the Cavite Katipuneros –
which consisted of two groups, the
Magdiwang and Magdalo were fighting
each other over territory and logistics.

4. So that so, Aguinaldo invited the Supremo
to Cavite to mediate. The two groups finally
agreed to form a revolutionary government.
The assembly was set to be held in the friar’s
state house in Barrio Tejeros, a part of the
town of San Francisco de Malabon.

5. • The Tejeros Convention
• (alternate names include Tejeros
Assembly and Tejeros Congress) was the meeting
held on March 1897 between
the Magdiwang and Magdalo factions of
the Katipunan.
• These are the first presidential and vice
presidential elections in Philippine history,
although only the Katipuneros (members of the
Katipunan) were able to take part, and not the
general populace.

6. • Purpose:
• The convention was called to discuss the defense of Cavite
against the Spaniards during the Philippine Revolution.
• To discuss the escalating tension between
the Magdalo and Magdiwang forces;
• And also to settle once and for all the issue of governance
within the Katipunan through an election.

7. •Conversely, Emilio Aguinaldo was not at
the assembly as he was commanding the
Filipino forces at the frontlines in Pasong
Santol, Barrio Salitran, Dasmariñas, facing
the imminent attack of the Spanish forces.

8. • ELECTION RESULTS:
• Andrés Bonifacio, the
contemporary Supremo (supreme leader)
of the Katipunan, presided over the
election.
