What is aguinaldo doctrine?

Answer 1

The "Aguinaldo Doctrine" is a repeatedly upheld Supreme Court jurisprudence that moots all administrative cases filed against any public official during his previous term, immediately after the official's reelection.

The central argument of the doctrine is that an erring public official has been forgiven by his constituents of his administrative liabilities if they reelect him in office.

Answer 2

The Aguinaldo Doctrine is a principle in international law that states that the Filipino government should not interfere with the payment of compensation by the United States to the Philippines for the latter's colonial rule. This doctrine emerged from the settlement of financial claims between the two countries after the Spanish-American War in 1898.
