    The Katipunan was a secret organization founded in 1892 by Filipinos seeking independence from Spanish rule. Led by Andres Bonifacio, the Katipunan operated as an underground government and carried out armed uprisings and assassinations against the Spanish. When the Philippine Revolution began in 1896 with the Cry of Balintawak, thousands of Katipunan members fought Spanish forces across Luzon, though they faced major losses. The Spanish cracked down harshly in response, arresting or exiling over 4,000 rebels and executing many others, including Jose Rizal. Emilio Aguinaldo later took advantage of Spanish victories over the Katipunan to establish himself as head of the revolutionary

    Katipunan
    In 1892 Filipinos interested in the overthrow of Spanish rule founded an organization
    following Masonic rites and principles to organize armed resistance and terrorist
    assassinations within a context of total secrecy. It operated as an alternative Filipino
    government complete with a president and cabinet. When Andrés Bonifacio assumed
    control over the organization, it became much more aggressive. With the Grito de
    Balintawak, the Philippine revolution began. Filipinos ripped up their tax and
    citizenship documents and started fighting through Luzon. Emilio Jacinto commanded
    Katipunan's troops in several decisive struggle where both sides sustained major
    losses. The Katipunan movement frightened the Spanish and their supporters in the
    country. Consequently, the authorities arrested or exiled some 4,000 rebels, not to
    mention the myriad executions. At this time, the Filipinos were by no means
    united; Emilio Aguinaldo served as president of the insurgent government while José
    Rizal headed the Liga Filipina.
    When General Camilo de Polavieja became the new Spanish military governor on
    December 3, 1896, he utilized the same strategy of reconcentration as did his
    counterpart Valeriano Weyler in Cuba. He also ordered the execution of Rizal and 24
    others. The spanish crackdown led to a series of victories against Andrés
    Bonifacio and the Katipunan that Aguinaldo was quick to take advantage of at the
    Tejeros Convention in March 1897 to force the Katipunan into his new revolutionary
    government. The Katipunan was revived briefly during the insurrection against the
    U.S. in 1900.
