2. After promulgating the Malolos Constitution, the
Filipino leaders made preparations to inaugurate the
first Philippine Republic .

3. The Malolos Congress or formally known as the "National
Assembly" of representatives was the constituent
assembly of the First Philippine Republic. It met at
the Barasoain Church in Malolos City, Bulacan. It drafted
the Malolos Constitution.
The Congress was not much more than a decoration. "That
is to show to the foreign correspondents that we Filipinos
are civilized, but the bulk of the work in nation building were
done at the Malolos Cathedral by the executive branch of
government led by(Phiilppine President Emilio) Aguinaldo,
who was in command of the army fighting the Americans,"
said attorney Cris Santiago, past president of the historical
society of Bulacan (known as Samahang Pangkasaysayan
ng Bulacan or Sampaka).

4. POLITICAL CONSTITUTION
Following the declaration of independence from Spain on June 12, 1898 and transformation of the
dictatorial government to a revolutionary government on 23 June, the Malolos Congress
election was held between June 23 and September 10. On 15 September 1898, the revolutionary
congress convened in Barasoain Church in Malolos (now Malolos City, Bulacan) with Pedro
Paterno as president and Gregorio S. Araneta as vice president.[3] On 29 September, the 12
June Declaration of independence was ratified.[4] The congress then decided to draft a Constitution,
a decision opposed by Apolinario Mabini, the Prime Minister of the revolutionary government
(President of the Council of Government).[4] The resulting Malolos Constitution was ratified on
November 29, 1898, signed into law on December 23, approved on January 20, 1899, sanctioned
by President Emilio Aguinaldo on January 21, and promulgated on January 22.[5][6] The document
states that the people have exclusive sovereignty. It states basic civil rights, separated the church
from the state, and called for the creation of an Assembly of Representatives (A.K.A. National
Assembly) which would act as the legislature. It also calls for a parliamentary republic as the form
of government with the president elected for a term of four years by a majority of the Assembly.
