In fact Mabini tried to convince Aguinaldo to veto said Constitution drafted by Felipe Calderon and approved by the convention of delegates in Barasoain Church. He thought it was inappropriate to adopt a Constitution in times of turmoil and when our nation was then still shackled by two world powers negotiating on the terms under which one of them will cede the country to the other.
