Note 36 — Chapter XXVI · Murder As a Governmental Agency
Reading edition
Mabini made this vicious and cruel order the subject of bitter protest, writing to Aguinaldo, on March 6, 1899, a letter in which he says that Luna has grossly exceeded his powers, and making the very pertinent inquiry “if an educated man36 can hardly understand his duties, how will the uneducated one understand his?” He suggests that it would be better to remove Luna.37 It does not appear that this order was ever modified.
