On June 12, 1898 between four and five in the afternoon, General Emilio Aguinaldo ( later became the 1st Philippine President) in the presence of a huge crowd, proclaimed the independence of the Philippines at Cavite el Viejo (Kawit).

The Act of the Declaration of Independence was prepared by Ambrosio Rianzares Bautista, who also read and patterned it after the American Declaration of Independence. Gen. Aguinaldo invited Admiral Dewey to the festivities, but the latter declined the invitation and did not even report the event to Washington. The declaration was signed by ninety-eight persons, including an American office, L.M. Johnson, Colonel of Artillery.

The Philippine American War was formerly termed the "Philippine Insurrection" by the U.S. The conflict has now been termed the "Philippine American War" by the U.S. government. The Philippine American War began on February 4, 1899 (a month and a half after the Spanish American War ended). It was a conflict local to the Philippines, being fought between the U.S. and the Filipinos in the archipelago. The war lasted officially until 1902, though fighting did occur as late as 1906.
In short, the war was longer, much more bloody, but was not a global conflict. Significantly, the war was fought between the U.S. and the Filipinos. Spain was not involved. It was a separate and different conflict from the eight month Spanish American War.

"The Insurrection cost the U.S. about $8,000,000. More than 100,000 US troops had been used, fighting in 2,811 actions, losing 4,243 killed and 2,818 wounded. Filipino losses have been estimated at about 16,000 killed in combat and, perhaps, another 100,000 dying of famine and disease."
