Many rumors began to spread that Emilio Aguinaldo planted this tree while he was in the monastery of the Cathedral of Malolos. The monastery served as his office and official residence as President of the First Republic of the Philippines from 1898–1899.

This proves that this tree was already present at the first Philippine Congress in September 1898, disproving the rumor. | Many rumors began to spread that Emilio Aguinaldo planted this tree while he was in the monastery of the Cathedral of Malolos.
