The Central Executive Committee in the Philippines Template:Lang-fil was an insurgent revolutionary government temporarily established by Francisco Macabulos on April 17, 1898, shortly after the December 14, 1897 signing of the Pact of Biak-na-Bato.[1] That pact established a truce between Spanish colonial authorities in the Philippines and the Republic of Biak-na-Bato, an insurgent revolutionary movement headed by Emilio Aguinaldo.[2] The Central Executive Committee was intended to remain in existence "until a general government of the Republic in these islands shall again be established."[2] It had a constitution which provided for a President, Vice President, Secretary of War and Secretary of the Treasury.[3] The Committee was dissolved shortly after Aguinoldo's return to the Philippines from exile in Hong Kong on May 19, 1898.
