"THE COLLABORATIONOF FILIPINO AND AMERICAN"

“The Collaboration of Filipino and American”

Because of the Spanish – American war the Americans and Filipinos collaborate. The Spaniards gave the money to the Filipinos . Isabelo Artacho wanted the 400, 000 pesos to give equally to the Katipuneros. But Aguinaldo used the money to buy superior military weapons. And he want to join the Spanish – American War.

Aguinaldo talk to Howard Bray and they talk on April 23 1898. E. Spencer Pratt’s was an American Consul in Hong Kong. He encouraged Aguinaldo that the American can help them to buy superior military weapons. And Pratt recommend Rouseville Wildman . Aguinaldo give 50,000 pesos and 67,000 pesos for the purchase of military weapons. The 50,000 pesos was used but the other was not.

Because of this the Filipino assembled a Junta in Hong Kong on May 4 , 1898.They discussed about the events in the Philippines. Felipe Agoncillo headed the Junta in Hong Kong.

And the Junta decide that Aguinaldo should return to the Philippines to lead revolt against the Spaniards.

This what happened in the Collaboration of Filipino and American. The Americans goal is to remorse the bombing of US Battleship Maine over the Spaniards . And the Filipinos goal why they join, was to fight for the freedom of the Philippines.
