Titled bilingually as Pahayag sa mañga taga Filipinas / Proclama al pueblo filipino, the proclamation was printed on a broadside sheet measuring 71 x 61 cm. The proclamation boldly declared that US supremacy must be recognized by the Philippines. Whoever refused to do so “no podrán conseguir más fin que su propia ruina” (will not achieve anything other than their own downfall).
