Before getting involved in revolutionary action, Bonifacio worked as a messenger

and warehouse manager. He was born into a low-income family in Manila and

received no formal schooling. But he was a good reader. Contrary to José Rizal, a
nationalist poet and author who favored changing Spanish authority in the

Philippines, Bonifacio favored total independence from the country's colonial

rulers. He established the Katipunan in Manila in 1892, emulating the Masonic

order's structure and ritual. The Katipunan first expanded slowly, but by 1896 it

was thought to have 100,000 members and branches, spread across Manila,

central Luzon, and the islands of Panay, Mindoro, and Mindanao. The majority of

its members were laborers and peasants, and it favored reform over revolution
