The unveiling ceremony and the signing of the certificate of transfer and acceptance were led by town Mayor Nelia Angeles, Vice Mayor Louel Golfo, NHCP Executive Director Restituto Aguilar, and NHCP Commissioner Emmanuel Calairo in front of the old municipal hall.

Angeles, in her speech, said the character of every resident in the town reflects the heroic life of Gen. Aguinaldo.

“Kagaya niya (Gen. Aguinaldo), ang mga taga-Bailen ay matitikas, matatapang, maprinsipyo at mapagmahal sa pamilya at sa bayan,” Angeles said.

“Hindi po ba isang napakalaking karangalan na mapangalan sa kauna-unanahang president ng republika ng Pilipinas, sa isang bayani at higit sa lahat, sa isang kapwa Kabitenyo,” the town mayor added.

Formerly known as Bailen, this 5th class municipality became Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo in accordance with the Republic Act No. 4346 signed by President Diosdado Macapagal in 1965.

‘Senate proves flaw on PH democracy on Sara Duterte impeachment case’

The International Coalition for Human Rights in the Philippines (ICHRP) Chairperson, Peter Murphy, has criticized the Philippine Senate's return of Vice President Sara Duterte's impeachment articles to the House, calling it a "blot on Philippine democracy." Murphy highlighted concerns over trial delays and potential cancellation, emphasizing the well-founded nature of the impeachment grounds, which include misuse of funds, unexplained wealth, and betrayal of public trust. He noted strong public and institutional support for the trial's continuation, urging the Senate to uphold its constitutional duty amidst protests. Murphy also called on the international community to uphold democratic standards and cease military aid to the Marcos Jr. administration, which he described as a "rogue state."
