Native boats on the run Aguinaldo’s navy
“27 feet. A splendid scene, showing a large number of curious Filipino boats being worked on the Pasig River near Manila by natives. The picture is unusually fine photographically” –American Mutoscope & Biograph picture catalogue.

Early motion pictures and the Copyright catalog indicate that the subject of this film is the Spanish-American War, but the film was taken in 1900, after the end of the war (August 1898). The title appears to be a facetious reference to Emilio Aguinaldo, who led Philippine forces against the United States during the Philippine American War (1899-1902). No naval ships are depicted and Aguinaldo does not appear in the film.

This report discusses the many notable achievements of the BARMM government during its first year while cautioning that these accomplishments are not irreversible, and that the BARMM will need international support—including from the United States—to confront future challenges.
