REVOLT OF THE MASSES: THE STORY OF BONIFACIO AND THE KATIPUNAN

The Philippines had struggled much under the hands of the Spanish colonizers to the
point that our ancestors and national heroes had to put much effort in revolting and
fighting against the Spanish government. -The source of the document is the Story of
Andres Bonifacio and the Katipunan And is considered as a secondary source because
I have found out that teodoro agoncillo doesn't have direct involvement in the tejeros
convention but it those not mean that his claims are not authentic because the
information he written was narrated by the participants of the tejeros convention which
considered as a source. - Teodoro Agoncillo (November 9, 1912 - January 14, 1985)
considered as one of the most important historians of the philippines. He was the first
Filipino historians renowned for promoting a distinctly nationalist point of view of Filipino
history. He was also eassayist and poet. - Filipinos of the past had to face various
challenges and even had to offer their lives for us to finally claim the freedom we enjoy
to this very day. Such liberty, particularly the democratic government of the Republic of
the Philippines, was a fruit of the famous Tejeros Convention, an assembly between the
two factions of the Katipunan, namely the Magdiwang and the Magdalo, to establish a
reformed government in the country.

helpful in understanding the situations of the Filipino people under the Spanish regime.
Mga Gunita ng Himagsikan is the memoir of Emilio Aguinaldo written based on a diary
he kept, several documents he preserved, and family lore he gathered from his elders.
Aguinaldo was one of the many members of the Katipunan and belonged to the
Magdalo faction. He led numerous attacks and won victories against the Spaniards in
the Cavite province. After the death of Bonifacio, he assumed total leadership of the
revolution. Later, Aguinaldo forcibly set up a provisional dictatorship in the country,
declared Philippine independence on June 12, 1898, and sworn in as the first president
of the new, self-governed Philippine republic. Emilio Aguinaldo, (born March 22/23,
1869, near Cavite, Luzon, Philippines—died February 6, 1964, Quezon City), Filipino
leader and politician who fought first against Spain and later against the United States
for the independence of the Philippines.Emilio Aguinaldo led a revolutionary movement
against the Spanish colonial government in the Philippines. He cooperated with the U.S.
during the Spanish-American War but subsequently broke with the U.S. and led a
guerrilla campaign against U.S. authorities during the Philippine-American War.  On
September 1, 1896, Jose Tagle asks Emilio Aguinaldo to help him in invading the
Spaniards in Imus, Cavite. Aguinaldo create his strategy in invading the spaniards,
since it is his first time to make strategies he failed. His first attempt was to save the
rectory he tasks the group of General Baldomero Aguinaldo to go to south. On
December 30, 1896, Jose Rizal was imprisoned in Puerto Santiago, Manila and
punished por filibusterismo court-martial. Aguinaldo with the help of Bonifacio attempt to
save Rizal, however Don Paciano Rizal, said that they should not save Rizal to avoid
the death of many soldier. So they didn't pursue the plan. The election of the presidency

was Emilio Aguinaldo. The memoirs of the revolution revealed a lot of untold stories
behind the Philippine history. The memoirs of the revolution also focused on the war
