The proclamation commenced with a characterization of the conditions in the Philippines during the Spanish colonial period. the declaration says:
The proclamation of independence also invokes that the established republic would be lead under the dictatorship of Emilio Aguinaldo. The first mention was at the very beginning of the proclamation. It stated that: “In the town of Cavite Viejo, in this province of Cavite,
On the twelfth day of June eighteen hundred and ninety-eight, before me,
Don Ambrosio Rianzares Baustista, Auditor of War and Special Commissioner
Appointed to proclaim and solemnized this act
By the Dictatorial Government of these Philippine Islands
For the purposes and by virtue of the circular addressed
By the Eminent Dictator of the same Don Emilio Aguinaldo y Famy.”The same was repeated toward the last part of the proclamation. It states:“We acknowledge, approve and confirm together
With the orders that have been issued therefrom,
The Dictatorship established by Don Emilio Aguinaldo,
Whom we honor as the supreme Chief of this Nation,
Which this day commences to have a life if its own,
In the belief that he is the instrument selected by God,
In spite of his humble origin
To effect the redemption of this unfortunate people,
As foretold by Doctor Jose Rizal in the magnificent verses
Which he composed when he was preparing to be shot,
Liberating them from the yoke of Spanish domination
In punishment of the impunity with which their Government allowed
The commission of abuses by its subordinates.”
Another detail in proclamation about on the Philippine flag that was first waved on the same day.
“And finally, it was unanimously resolved that this Nation, independent from this day, must use the same flag used heretofore whose design and colors and described in the accompanying drawing, with design representing in natural colors the three arm referred to. The white triangle represents the distinctive emblem of the famous Katipunan Society, which by means of its compact of blood urged on the masses of the people to insurrection; the three stars represent the three principal Islands of this Archipelago, Luzon, Mindanao and Panay, in which this insurrectionary movement broke out; the sun represents the gigantic strides that have been made by the sons of this land on the road of progress and civilization, its eight rays symbolizing the eight provinces of Manila, Cavite, Bulacan, Pampanga, Nueva Ecija, Bataan, Laguna and Batangas, which were declared and state of war almost as soon as the first insurrectionary movement was initiated; and the colors blue, red and white, the commemorate those of the flag of the United States of North America, in manifestation of our profound gratitude towards that Great Nation for the disinterested protection she is extending to us and will continue to extend to us.”
