Objective

It was essentially a campaign of information, as well as a bid for sympathy. Dr.

Domingo Abella, the learned Director of the National Archives, has made the
suggestion that the so-called Propaganda Movement was misnamed. It should have
been called the Counterpropaganda Movement, because their essential task was to
counteract the campaign of misinformation that certain Spanish groups were
disseminating in Spain, and later in Rome.

 To unite the whole archipelago into one vigorous and homogenous organization;
 Mutual protection in every want and necessity;
 Defense against all violence and injustice
 Encouragement of instruction, agriculture, and commerce; and

Objective
La Liga Filipina (lit. The Philippine League) was a progressive organization created by
Dr. José Rizal in the Philippines in the house of Doroteo Ongjunco at Ilaya
Street, Tondo, and Manila in 1892.
The organization derived from La Solidaridad and the Propaganda movement. The
purpose of La Liga Filipina is to build a new group sought to involve the people directly
in the reform movement.
The league was to be a sort of mutual aid and self-help society dispensing scholarship
funds and legal aid, loaning capital and setting up cooperatives, the league became a
threat to Spanish authorities that they arrested Rizal on July 6, 1892 on Dapitan.
Aims of Katipunan
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).

Objective
Under the leadership of Bonifacio, the Katipunan laid down three fundamental
objectives or aims: political, moral and civic. The political objectives consisted in
working for the separation of the Philippines from Spain. The moral objective revolved
about around the teaching of good manners, hygiene, good morals, and attacking
obscurantism, religious fanaticism, and weakness of character. The civic aim revolved
around the principle of self-help and the defense of the poor and the oppressed. All
members were urged to come to the aid of the sick comrades and their families, and in
case of death the society itself was to pay for the funeral expenses. For the purpose of
economy however, the society saw to it that the funeral was of the simplest kind,
avoiding unnecessary expenses so common under the rule of the friars.

Failure of Katipunan
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.
After hearing Patiño’s revelations, Father Mariano Gil-accompanied by several
Guardias Civiles immediately searched the premises of Diario de Manila and found
evidence of the Katipunan’s existence. The governor general was quickly informed. The
printing press was padlocked and hundreds of suspected KKK members were arrested.
