- Philippine municipal election, 1895
In 1893, the Maura Law was passed to reorganize town governments with the aim of making them more effective and autonomous, changing the designation of town head from "gobernadorcillo" to "capitan municipal" effective 1895. Municipal elections were held for municipal posts throughout the Philippine Archipelago on January 1, 1895. Famous lawyers and doctors including the rich and the wealthy, political families were elected. Emilio Aguinaldo was elected as "capitan municipal" in his town of Kawit, Cavite.
