General Aguinaldo or General Tinio?

Source critic to "The First Philippine Republic at Malolos"

Rene N. Sumodobila, Executive Director of PAWCI informed me recently, that the man in the center of this picture is General Tinio not General Aguinaldo. He wrote:

"Exactly the same photo appears in the book of Orlino A. Ochosa titled the 'Tinio Birgade', ..., which has a caption 'Amnesty awaited Generals Tinio and Natividad (center) and their 23 remaining officers after they surrendered to Gen. Bell at Sinait.' ... "

The same is the case with this picture.
