He was also a supreme head of the revolutionary forces. On February 1899, Flores signed the document surrendering Cebu to the Americans. Although he had fought valiantly against the Spaniards in the preceding war, he realized the point posited by the moderates regarding their inability to defend the city against any bombardment. Shortly after deciding to surrender the city to the Americans to avoid its destruction, Luis Flores called a meeting to elect a new set of officials. He resigned and was replaced by Julio Llorente.
