The Pact of Biak-na-Bato, signed in December 1897, ended the Philippine Revolution against Spanish colonial rule by establishing a temporary truce. The agreement involved the payment of 800,000 pesos from Spain to the revolutionaries and the exile of key leaders, including Emilio Aguinaldo, to Hong Kong. While it temporarily halted hostilities, the pact ultimately failed to resolve the underlying issues, leading to renewed conflict in the Philippines and the eventual outbreak of the Spanish-American War in 1898.
