Naic Military Agreement Explained

The Naic Military Agreement was a document prepared on April 18, 1897 in which a number of participants in the Tejeros Convention repudiated the convention results. This repudiation, which followed the Acta de Tejeros issued on March 23, would later cost Andres Bonifacio his life. Bonifacio would be tried for treason at Maragondon, Cavite on May 10, 1897 and sentenced to death.[1] [2] [3]
