Author: Jose Victor Z. Torres

Emilio Aguinaldo: Politics and Remembrance (1901–1963) is a multifaceted exploration of one of the greatest and most controversial heroes of Philippine history.

With masterful insight and expertise, Jose Victor Z. Torres weaves a compelling narrative of how—over tumultuous decades of revolution, war, and occupation—General Emilio Aguinaldo’s public image slowly evolved from hero and patriot to traitor and power-grabber.

Shedding light on the struggles, resilience, and contradictions that defined the hero’s life, this book upholds a nuanced understanding of the man and his actions. This sets the stage for a deeper appreciation of Philippine political history as not just a collection of struggles but rather a testament to the Filipino’s indomitable spirit amid adversity.

REVIEW:

“Vibal had done great service to the nation in publishing this original work on Emilio Aguinaldo by Palanca Award-winning writer and historian Vic Torres. It opens chapters in the otherwise still unknown part of the biography of a controversial historical figure.”
—Michael Charleston “Xiao” B. Chua, PhD, Filipino public historian
