The Katipunan Finally Starts a Revolution

The Katipunan is born

Andres Bonifacio was also a member of La Liga Filipina, although he soon
lost hope in gaining reforms though peaceful means. This feeling was
especially heightened when Jose Rizal was exiled to Dapitan. Bonifacio
became convinced that the only way the Philippines could gain
independence was through a revolution.

Bonifacio then founded the “Katastaasang Kagalanggalangang

Katipuanan ng mga Anak ng Bayan” (KKK) on July 7, 1892 in a house on
Azcarraga street (now Claro M. Recto), in Tondo Manila.

The Katipunan had colorful beginnings. As a symbol of the member’s

loyalty, they performed the solemn rite of SANDUGUAN (blood compact),
wherein each one signed his name with his own blood..

the members of the katipunan?
The members agreed to recruit more people
using the “triangle system” of enlistment. Each
original member would recruit two new
members who were not related to each
other. Each new member would do the same
thing, and so on down the line. Members
were also asked to contribute
one Real (about 25 centavos) each month in
order to raise funds for the association.

 The KKK members agreed on the following objectives:
▪ The political goal was to completely separate the Philippines
from Spain after declaring the country’s independence.
▪ The moral goal was to teach the Filipinos good manners,
cleanliness, hygiene, fine morals, and how to guard themselves
against religious fanaticism..
▪ The civic goal was to encourage Filipinos to help themselves
and to defend the poor oppressed.

The “Kataastaasang Sanggunian” (supreme council) was the
highest governing body of the Katipunan. It was headed by a
supremo, or president. Each province had a “Sangguaniang
Bayan” (Provincial Council) and each town had a “Sangguniang
Balangay” (Popular Council).

Jose Rizal and the Katipunan

Jose Rizal never became involved in the organization and
activities of the Katipunan; but the Katipuneros still looked up to
him as a leader. In fact, Rizal’s name was used as
a password among the society’s highest-ranking members, who
were called bayani.

Andres Bonifacio had already known
Rizal during his La Liga Filipina days,
although Rizal did not know Bonifacio
personally Nevertheless, Bonifacio so
respected Rizal’s intelligence and
talent that in June 1896, he sent Dr. Pio
Valenzuela to Dapitan to seek Rizal’s
advice on the planned revolution.

He had already known Rizal

during his La Liga Filipina days.
 The Katipunan is Discovered

Rumors about a secret revolutionary society had long been in

circulation, although no solid evidence could be found to
support them. The big break as far as the Spanish authorities was
concerned, came on August 19, 1896 when a KKK member,
Teodoro Patiño told his sister Honoria about the existence of the
Katipunan. Patiño was a worker in the printing press of Diario de
Manila. Honoria was then living with nuns in a Mandaluyong
orphanage.

 The information upset Honoria so much that she told the

orphanage’s Mother Superior, Sor Teresa de Jesus, what her
brother had revealed. Sor Teresa suggested they seek the advice
of Father Mariano Gil, the parish priest of Tondo.

Patiño told his sister Honoria about the
existence of the Katipunan.
