On August 3, 1902, Isabelo de los Reyes proclaimed the establishment of the "Iglesia Filipina Independiente" better known as Aglipayan Church, an independent Christian Protestant church in the catholic tradition, with Father Gregorio Aglipay as Supreme Bishop. Msgr. Aglipay, once a Roman Catholic priest but later excommunicated by the Vatican for inciting rebellion within the Filipino clergy, helped "Filipinize" the parishes and established religious freedom in the country during the Spanish rule. De los Reyes was excommunicated in 1903 as a schismatic apostate.
