EL Presidente –

In the Philippines, Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo (Jeorge "ER" Estregan) unites regional factions in the
battle for independence.

The El Presidente movie is all about the life of the first President of the Philippine Republic. The
story focus on the life of General Emilio Aguinaldo who was elected by the leaders of Katipunan
that roled by Governor Jeorge "ER" Estregan'

The Story tells me about the life of Emilio Aguinaldo and the hardships he had encountered
during his time to win the battles against Spanish Colonization to the Philippines and how he
joined and became a member of KATIPUNAN and have a name of MAGDALO.

In this movie it shows the flashback of life of General Emilio Aguinaldo that in his childhood life
he became a tax collector together with his friend that on his childhood he met a fortune teller
that tells him what he would be in future, it tells that he would become a king of his nation and
he will live a long life , but there is also a warning to him that there would be many
circumstances coming to his life as a President . Many of them will attempt to replace his throne
as a leader of his colony and being the President of the Philippines.

The movie also shows the battles of Emilio Aguinaldo to protect his members and his troops in
his jurisdiction or on his colony against the Spanish occupation for the freedom of the
Philippines. The movie also shows the preparation of Emilio Aguinaldo and his troop towards
sultan. In this movie shows how Emilio Aguinaldo was elected as a President of the Philippine
Republic. It was started when the committee of Katipunan decided to have an election of who
would be their President and leaders under the gabinet of the President. Immediately the
committee elected the following persons, Andres Bonifacio, Mariano Trias, and Emilio
Aguinaldo. The founder of Pamahalaang Himagsikan is Andres Bonifacio who also called their
SUPREMO of KATIPUNAN became angry when he got a lower position in the gabinet.

After the election Emilio Aguinaldo was proclaimed officially the newly elected and the first
President of the Philippine Republic, because of that Andres Bonifacio became bitter against
Emilio Aguinaldo and he decided to destroy Aguinaldo's leadership.

After the juries proved that Bonifacio brothers are found guilty, Emilio Aguinaldo sentenced
them into their own death.

After the Americans trick Aguinaldo that they will help the Philippines to get their freedom
against Spanish colony, but instead the Americans used Emilio Aguinaldo name for their own
agenda, but Aguinaldo do his best to fight and to get our freedom.

After I watched this movie El Presidente I've realize that there were so many trials and
circumstances they've trail, many self were sacrificed their lives fighting for freedom against
traitors and for those unreliable persons on that event. Before we got our freedom there were
super suffering they have experienced; blood shred and many died.

The movie El Presidente for me is very interesting movie, because it shows me a lots on how
our Filipino heroes are great to get back our freedom against all the colonies of Spanish,
Americans, and Japanese.
