    “I’m Felipe Buencamino y Siojo (August 23, 1848 – February 6, 1929). I was an infamous Filipino turncoat, lawyer, diplomat, and politician. I fought alongside the Spaniards in the Philippine Revolution but later I switched sides and I joined Emilio Aguinaldo's revolutionary cabinet. I was a member of the Malolos Congress and co-authored the Malolos Constitution. I was also appointed as Secretary of Foreign Relations in the cabinet of Aguinaldo. After I left the revolutionary government, I co-founded the Federalista Party and I’m became a founding member of the Philippine Independent Church.”
