Lesson12
July 7, 1892
• Upon learning that Dr. Jose P. Rizal was to be deported and that his works
were to be banned in the country, a secret council was convened in No.
72 AzcarragaStreet.
• In attendance were Andres Bonifacio, Deodato Arellano, Valentin Diaz,

Teodoro Plata, Ladislao Diwa, Jose Dizon, and a few others, all members
of La Liga Filipina, a progressive organization founded by Rizal.
• The men assembled came to the agreement that a revolutionary secret

society must be founded, and thus the Kataastaasang Kagalang-
Kagalang na Katipunan ng mga Anak ng Bayan was born.

Lesson12
The Objectives of the Katipunan
• The objectives of KKK, as popularly known, were

threefold: political, moral, and civic.
• They advocated for freedom from the yoke of Spain, to

be achieved through armed struggle. They also saw it
as their personal responsibility to help the poor and the
oppressed, and to teach them good manners, hygiene,
and morality.

Lesson12
Membership
• The candidate was expected to respond that the Filipinos were once
independent, and that the Spaniard colonizers had not improved the
conditions of the Philippines, but that soon the Philippines would be free
once more.
• The master of ceremonies would once more try to discourage him by telling
him to back down if he does not have enough courage; should he persist,
he is led blindfolded into another room for a physical test.
• The final rites involved the neophyte signing the oath of membership in
his own blood,
usually drawn from a cut made by a scalpel to the left forearm.

Membership
• Though the organizational structure of the Katipunan was constantly in flux, it is

generally believed that they formed small branches, governed by the
sangguniang balangay, and these small branches would form larger provincial
councils, governed by the sangguniang bayan.
• All these would be overseen by the Supreme Council of the Katipunan

(Kataastasang Sanggunian), which was composed of a president (pangulo),
secretary (kalihim), fiscal (tagausig), treasurer (tagaingat yaman), and six
councilors (kasanguni).

Lesson12
Membership
• The legislative body of the Katipunan was known as the Katipunan Assembly, and it was
composed of the members of the Supreme Council, along with the presidents of the popular
and provincial councils.
• Judicial power rested in the sangguniang hukuman, which were provincial courts that decided
on internal matters; however, judgement on grave matters (such as betraying the Katipunan or
committing acts penalized by the organization’s laws) were meted by the “Secret Chamber,”
composed of Andres Bonifacio, Emilio Jacinto, and Dr. PioValenzuela.

Lesson12
Lesson12
Branches
• Contrary to popular belief, Andres Bonifacio—though undoubtedly one of the
more prominent founders of the Katipunan—was not its first Supremo or the
President of the Supreme Council.
• On July 15, 1892, the members of the Supreme Council were Deodato Arellano
(Supremo), Bonifacio (Comptroller), Ladislao Diwa (Fiscal), Teodoro Plata
(Secretary), and Valentin Diaz (Treasurer).

Lesson12
Branches
• Unsatisfied with Arellano’s performance as Supremo, Bonifacio later had him

deposed, and supported the election of Roman Basa as Supremo on February
1, 1893. The Supreme Council was then composed of Basa, Jose Turiano
Santiago (Secretary), Bonifacio (Fiscal), and Vicente Molina (Treasurer).
• Bonifacio would only become Supremo on January 5, 1894, with Santiago

(Secretary), Emilio Jacinto (Fiscal), and Molina (Treasurer). Further
reorganization in 1896 led to Jacinto becoming Secretary, and Pio
Valenzuela becoming Fiscal.

Lesson12
Branches
• The Supreme Council in August 1896, prior to the outbreak of the Philippine
Revolution, was led by Bonifacio as the Supremo, with Jacinto as Secretary of
State, Teodoro Plata as Secretary of War, Briccio Pantas as Secretary of Justice,
Aguedo del Rosario as Secretary of Interior, and Enrique Pacheco as Secretary
of Finance.
• Much discussion surrounds who was actually in Balintawak at the outbreak of

the Philippine Revolution in August 1896. Perhaps the closest one can come to
a definitive list is based on an interview given by Guillermo Masangkay to the
newspaper Bagong Buhay in 1952, almost 60 years after. This was reproduced
in Jim Richardson’s site (you may access it here: Katipunan: Documents and
Studies) and have been translated into English from the original mix of Tagalog
and Spanish.

Lesson12
Katipunan created the first-ever Philippine
Republic
• It has been debated for years whether Katipunan

was a de facto government or not. But, it does
not change the fact that it has successfully
organized and established its own republic way
before the Malolos Republic.

Lesson12
Bonifacio is not the only Supremo
• Many Filipinos would say that there is only one Supremo. But
little do they know that there were actually three Supremos
– Deodato Arellano, Roman Basa, and Andres Bonifacio.
• The first Supremo was Deodato Arellano, who is also one of

the founders of Katipunan. But Bonifacio deposed him
because of his inefficiency.
• Bonifacio became the last Supremo of theKKK movement.

Lesson12
Katipunan has its own National Anthem
• Juan Felipe’s “Lupang Hinirang” is not actually the country’s first

National Anthem. The first one is titled “Marangal na Dalit ng
Katagalugan” which was composed by Julio Nakpil in 1896.
• Nakpil composed it since Bonifacio requested him to do so. When

Bonifacio died, Marangal na Dalit ng Katagalugan was overlooked by
the composition of Felipe.

Lesson12
Rizal was called a coward by the
Katipunan Supremo
• Rizal’s writings became the guiding force for other patriots to

rally for the country’s cause. But Rizal, Philippine’s national
hero, was religiously held aloof from all politics since his
deportation.
• Bonifacio sent a messenger to Dapitan to ask for Rizal’s

advice. But the Katipunan plan was denounced as a premature
move. Upon hearing the reply, Bonifacio called Rizal a coward.

Lesson12
• This fact led Filipino professor, Renato
Constantino, to claim that Rizal was not a leader
of the Philippine Revolution, but a leading
opponent of it.
• In the manifesto of 15 December 1896 written

by Rizal himself, he said:

Lesson12
• “I had no notice at all of what was being planned until the first or second of
July, in 1896, when Pio Valenzuela came to see me, saying that an uprising
was being arranged. I told him that it was absurd, etc., etc., and he
answered me that they could bear no more.
• I advised him that they should have patience, etc., etc. He added then that
he had been sent because they had compassion on my life and that probably
it would compromise me. I replied that they should have patience and that if
anything happened to me I would then prove my innocence.
• Besides, said I, don’t consider me, but our country, which is the one that will
suffer. I went on to show how absurd was the movement. Then later, Pio
Valenzuela testified. -He did not tell me that my name was being used,
neither did he suggest that I was its chief, or anything of that sort.”
Lesson12
• “Those who testify that I am the chief (which I do not know, nor do I know of
having ever treated with them), what proofs do they present of my having
accepted this chiefship or that I was in relations with them or with their
society?
• Either they have made use of my name for their own purposes or they have
been deceived by others who have. Where is the chief who dictates no order
and makes no arrangement, who is not consulted in anything about so
important an enterprise until the last moment, and then when he decides
against it is disobeyed?
• Since the seventh of July of 1892 I have entirely ceased political activity. It
seems some have wished to avail themselves of my name for their own
ends.”
Lesson12
• The revolution ensued and even Rizal disagreed with it because of the
discovery of the Katipunan.
