– That Aguinaldo and his men would go into voluntary exile
– That primo de Rivera would pay Aguinaldo the amount of
800,000 pesos
– The latter would pay an additional amount of 900,000 to the
families of non-combatant Filipinos who suffered during the
revolution
The Failure of the Truce
• Both the Spaniards and the Filipinos did not trust each other that
resulted to mutual suspicion
• Bad faith on both sides,
“Where there is bad faith there can be no permanent
peace”
