It was General Emilio Aguinaldo who was inducted into the Katipunan such great revolutionary figures as the three Riego de Dios brothers (Emiliano, Mariano, and Vicente) of Maragondon;
Marcelino Aure of Mendez, Ambrocio Mojica of Indang, Vito Belarmino of Silang, Gregorio Jocson of Naik, and many others.
So impressed was Aguinaldo by Aure's performance in the Battle of Talisay that he promoted the latter from captain to colonel, skipping one or two ranks. Other people said that Aure was given the rank of brigades general, hence he came to be known as Heneral Alapaap.
