Confrontations between the cura and the local leaders went back years | Confrontations between the cura and the local leaders went back years starting on the year he was designated in Malolos. On a Holy Tuesday, April 9, 1895, an angry Fr. Moises Santos canceled the scheduled procession when the town's ''principalia'' did not join the religious activity. Don Antonio Bautista recounted that the cura took a vengeful attitude towards those who boycotted the procession and may have initiated the ''requiza'' or searches by the ''guardia civil'' on the residences of the ''principales'' of Malolos which sought copies of subversive ''La Solidaridad'', Plaridel's "''Soberania Monacal''" and other publications deemed illegal by the church.<ref>Bautista, A.

Harassment against these leaders continued. A Te Deum mass was ordered to be held in the whole of the country to celebrate the victory in Marawi. The cura in Malolos asked the people for money for the Te Deum which the same local leaders did not agree with as they argued that no payment was needed for the mass to be celebrated. On the appointed day for the Te Deum, the Parish Priest carried out the ceremony with no attendees other than the sacristan and the altar boys.<ref>Espanol, J. (1898, April 11).

Echaluse to try them in a tribunal, May 25. This would later result in the ''destitucion'' or removal of those in public offices, the arrest and imprisonment of many at Bilibid in Manila, and the exile of eight leaders in Jolo, Mindanao, and Palawan on June 15, 1895. The exiled Malolenos were Manuel Crisostomo, Ceferino, Valentin, and Juan Aldaba, Vicente Gatmaytan, Justo Teodoro, Saturnino Buendia, and Luis H. del Pilar. <ref>Bautista, A. (2000).
