Emilio Aguinaldo was he a traitor or a hero?

Emilio Aguinaldo is a traitor and a villain! He usurped the authority of the Supremo Andres Bonifacio citing that Bonifacio has no education! Bonifacio was the founder of the KKK and who begun the Philippine Revolution against Spain! After an election, Bonifacio was name Director of the Interior but still protested by Tirona due to his lack of education! After that, Bonifacio became angry and declared that the election was void and left to form his own government. Aguinaldo ordered his men to hunt him and they succeeded to kill the man who was the originator of the Philippine Revolution! With this hideous act by Aguinaldo, can you consider him a hero? For me he is a villain and a traitor!
