I happened to look at this article yesterday, and was confused by the infobox preceding / succeeding content until what I take to be the intent struck me.
This article uses {{ Infobox former country}}, which I see is in the process of merger with {{ Infobox country}}. Because of this, I am not going to make changes to the relevant infobox content at this time. I think it ought to be discussed, though.
My problem with that is that I had to stop and think in order to figure it out and, if it is important enough to this article to make that clear (and I think it is), it ought to be made clearer. I don't see how this would be easily possible with the current intentional infobox parameter misuse technique.
I looked at the code in the merge-from and the merge-to infoboxes and I see that they are both currently coded in wikitext. I don't know whether the merge target is intended to be coded as wikitext of in WP:LUA. Either way, though, I doubt that provision is being made to deal with this as part of the merge.
I've added a new section to the article headed "Background" in an attempt to clarify this. This new section needs more work. Something similar to this probably needs to be added to other articles about similar Philippine polities during Spanish and American colonial times ( Tagalog Republic, Tejeros Convention, Cantonal Republic of Negros, Central Executive Committee (Philippines), First Philippine Republic, Republic of Zamboanga, perhaps others articles).

This WP:BOLD edit caught my eye. Per WP:BRD, I have Reverted the edit. Please Discuss below as needed.
The edit inserts content which asserts that governmental power was divided between three organs of government. However, as I read the Constitution of Biak-na-Bato here, governmental power was vested in the Supreme Council, with the Supreme Council of Grace and Justice having no independent authority and the Assembly of Representatives only having authority to authorize privateering and issue letters of marque, to meet for elections to fill certain vacant offices, and to meet after two years to promulgate a new Constitution and the election of a new Council of Government and Representatives.

The actual flag that was used in Biak-na-Bato [ the plain red field with 16 rays and within the center was Baybayin Ka ᜃ ] was based on the illustration of Artemio Ricarte while the flag was lowered. When the Revolutionary Government of Biak-na-Bato made truce with the Spanish Colonial Government in the Pact of Biak-na-Bato. As seen on this image
The same design was also used by both the Katipunan factions of Magdalo and Magdiwang in Cavite and was used in the Battle of Noveleta.

The purported flag [ the red field with a white anthropomorphic sun ] was based on the "Evolution of the Philippine Flag" which has been long outdated and no evidence of historical usage. Please see the page
