apolinario mabini

A:Apolinario Mabini y Maranan (July 23, 1864—May 13, 1903), also known as the "Sublime Paralytic", was a Filipino theoretician who wrote the constitution for the first Philippine republic of 1899-1901, and served as its first prime minister in 1899. He was born in Talaga, Tanauan City, Batangas of poor parents, Inocencio Mabini and Dionisia Maranan. Mabini, it must be noted, was not entirely without nationalistic aspirations, for he was a member of Rizal's La Liga Filipina and worked secretly for the introduction of reforms in the administration of government. In 1898, while vacationing in Los Baños, Laguna, Emilio Aguinaldo sent for him. It took hundreds of men taking turns carrying his hammock to portage Mabini to Kawit. Aguinaldo, upon seeing Mabini's physical condition, must have entertained second thoughts in calling for his help. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apolinario_Mabini Mabini was most active in the revolution in 1898, when he served as the chief adviser for General Aguinaldo. He drafted decrees and crafted the first ever constitution in Asia for the First Philippine Republic, including the framework of the revolutionary government which was implemented in Malolos in 1899. He also headed the revolutionary congress and the cabinet. Mabini became known to the public because of his articles in La Liga Filipina. He wanted reforms in the government. He later served as Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo’s adviser and became instrumental in the government’s transfer from dictatorial to revolutionary. He made the revolutionary troops’ rules and regulations, thus getting the moniker Brains of the Revolution. He drafted the first constitution of the Philippine republic when the revolutionary congress was organized at Barasoain, Malolos, Bulacan. When the Filipino – American War broke-out, he was captured and exiled to Guam because of his alleged subversive articles. But he was able to return to the Philippines after he agreed to the terms and conditions offered by the United States. http://www.globalpinoy.com/ch/ch_category.php?category=heroes&name=Apolinario%20Mabini&table=ch_heroes&startpage=1&endpage=15

A:Apolinario Mabini y Maranan (July 23, 1864—May 13, 1903) was a Filipino theoretician who wrote the constitution for the first Philippine republic of 1899-1901, and served as its first premier in 1899. He was born in Talaga, Tanauan City, Batangas of poor parents, Inocencio Mabini and Dionisia Maranan. In his youth, Mabini studied at a school in Tanauan City, then conducted by a certain Simplicio Avelino. Much later, he transferred to a school conducted by the famous pedagogue, Father Valerio Malabanan. He continued his studies at the Colegio de San Juan de Letran, where he received his Bachelor of Arts and the title Professor of Latin, and at the University of Santo Tomas, where he received his law degree in 1894. His dream to defend the poor led him to forsake the priesthood, which his mother wanted him to take. Early in 1896, he contracted an illness, probably infantile paralysis, that led to the paralysis of his lower limbs. When the revolution broke out the same year, the Spanish authorities, suspecting that he was somehow involved in the disturbance, arrested him. The fact, however, that he could not move his lower limbs showed the Spaniards that they had made a mistake. He was released and sent to the San Juan de Dios Hospital. Mabini, it must be noted, was not entirely free from nationalistic association, for he was a member of Rizal's La Liga Filipina and worked secretly for the introduction of reforms in the administration of government. In 1898, while vacationing in Los Baños, Laguna, Emilio Aguinaldo sent for him. It took hundreds of men taking turns at carrying the hammock he was in to bring Mabini to Kawit. Aguinaldo, upon seeing Mabini's physical condition, thought that he must have made a mistake in calling for him to help him in this work. Mabini was most active in the revolution in 1898, when he became the chief adviser of General Aguinaldo. He drafted decrees and created drafts for the first constitution and the framework of the revolutionary government which was implemented in Malolos in 1899. He was also the head of the revolutionary congress and the cabinet. Apolinario Mabini was appointed premier and was also foreign secretary of the newly independent dictatorial government of Emilio Aguinaldo on January 2, 1899. Eventually, the government declared the first Philippine republic with a ceremony in January 23, 1899. Mabini then led the first cabinet of the republic. The cabinet was composed of the following leaders. Mariano Trias - Finance Apolinario Mabini - Foreign Affairs (and premier) Teodoro Sandico - Interior Baldomero Aguinaldo - War Gracio Gonzaga - Welfare (Agriculture, Industry and Commerce, Public Instruction, Public Works and Communications) Mabini was responsible for handling the country's problems during his tenure. Most notable of these were his negotiations with Americans, which began on March 6. The United States and the first Philippine republic were involved in exteremely violent hostilities at the time. During the negotiations for peace, Americans offered Mabini autonomy for Aguinaldo's new government, but the talks had failed because Mabini’s conditions included a ceasefire, which was rejected. Later, Mabini had negotiated again, seeking for an armistice instead on April 28, but the talks had failed again. Eventually, he wrote against the Americans, rallied the people, and supported war. He resigned from government on May 7, 1899. On December 10, 1899, he was captured by Americans but was later set free. In 1901, he was exiled to Guam but returned to the home in 1903, after agreeing to take an oath of allegiance to the United States. He took an oath on February 26, 1903 before the Collector of Customs. On May 13, 1903 Mabini died of cholera in Manila.
