DESCENDANTS

Please provide the direct descendants of the General like his children and grandchildren. The General's children have also done wonderful things to help the province and country in general. I noticed that the descendants was focused to his brother to link the relationship to Jazmine Trias. While I am glad to see the lineage of the "idol star", Jazmine Trias is not a direct descendant to the General. Please clear this issue. Thank You and may we see an addition tot he article as soon as possible.

Cabinet positions

This edit caught my eye. That led me to look at the points in the lead and in the infobox where has info about the article mentions cabinet positions held by Trias. In the infobox, I saw these positions set forth as:

[[Secretary of Finance (Philippines)|Minister of Finance]]
[[Secretary of National Defense (Philippines)|Minister of National Defense]]

A primary source, the Malolos Constitution (as published by the current Philippine government) says, in part:

Title IX — On the Secretaries of Government
Article 73 The Council of Government shall be composed of a President and seven Secretaries, who shall be put in charge of the portfolios of: Foreign Relations,
Interior, Finance, War and the Navy, Public Instruction, Public Works and Communications, Agriculture, Industries and Commerce.[1]

A reliable secondary source titled "MASTER LIST OF CABINET SECRETARIES/MINISTERS" (published by the current Philippine government) which lists current and historical holders of those articles lists Mariano Trías as having held two positions with the nomenclature of Secretary heading departments with the nomenclatures of Department of Finance (1/2/1899 – 5/7/1899) and Department of War (5/7/1899 – 11/13/1899).[2]

From these and other sources, I believe that it would be appropriate in this article to use the position titles Secretary of Finance and Secretary of War for those Malolos Republic cabinet positions which Trias held. I have edited the article to reflect that, citing the second of the two sources mentioned above in support. I have also edited the dates in office in those positions in the infobox to agree with the dates shown in that source.

I don't believe that there is a close enough association between those positions which Trias held in 1899 and cabinet positions with portfolios in Finance and National Defense in the current Philippine governemt to warrent wikilinking references to those positions held by Trias with WP articles about those departments in the current Philippine government. Accordingly, I have removed those wikilinks. Wtmitchell (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 03:43, 20 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
