1. How did the two rival factions of Katipunan-Magdalo and Magdiwang come about?

ANSWER:

The two rival factions of the Katipunan, started out as mere sangguniang balangay (councils). Andres
Bonifacio presided over the founding of both. The Magdiwang was formed in Noveleta, Cavite on April 2,
1896; the Magdalo, in Kawit, Cavite, on April 3, 1896. Due to their rapid growth in membership, the two
branches were elevated by the Kataastaasang Sanggunian (Katipunan Supreme Council) to the status of
sangguniang bayan (provincial councils), after which the two groups were authorized to form balangays
under them and to expand their influence.
-The two factions began their own regional government with separate leaderships, military
units, and “mutually agreed territories.” The rivalry was limited to the province of Cavite and
some parts of Batangas because these areas were already liberated and thus revolutionists could
freely move and convene.

2. Who were the sources of the historical accounts? What were their roles in Katipunan?

Gregoria de Jesus Josefa Rizal, Marina Dizon and Angelica Lopez- The first
members
In 1893, women were given the chance to join the organization
, -They served as the keepers of important and confidential documents of the Katipunan
and staged galas as fronts for the regular meetings of the male members. By 1894, the
Katipunan spread throughout Manila.

Deodato Arellano-The first Supremo of the Katipunan

Ladislao Diwa- Diwa formed the Katipunan's first triangle with Bonifacio and Plata and
became the society's fiscal. He later formed a triangle of his own with Román Basa and
Teodoro Gonzales, who would respectively become president and councilor of the
Katipunan's supreme council. The following year, Diwa continued to serve as councilor

Diwa contributed to the Katipunan's expansion to the countryside because of his transfer to
the court of a justice of the peace in Pampanga province. Katipuneros
in Bulacan, Tarlac and Nueva Ecija claim to have been inducted into the Katipunan by Diwa
himself. One of the most notable was Francisco Macabulos, who would become one of the
most successful Filipino generals of the revolution

3. Why did Andres Bonifacio declare the election as null and void?

ANSWER:

In Bonifacio's statement voiding the outcome the probity of the election held has been
questioned, with allegations that many ballots distributed were already filled out and that the
voters had not done this themselves.
-the election at the convention had been invalid, they drew up a document titled Acta de
Tejeros giving their reasons for having rejected the convention results. They then proceeded
to Naik and drew up another document, sometimes referred to as the Naik Military
Agreement, resolving to establish a government independent of and separate from that
established at Tejeros. When the Naik agreement came to the attention of Aguinaldo, he
ordered the arrest of Andres Bonifacio and his brother, Procopio which involves an incident
in Indang several complaints notably from Severino de las Alas and Jose Coronel, presented
to Emilio Aguinaldo. The brothers were tried on charges of treason by members of the war
council on Aguinaldo's government on May 10, 1897 the brothers were EXECUTED.
