1. Biography of Andres Bonifacio.

 The full name of Bonifacio is Andrés Bonifacio y de Castro. He was born on
November 30, 1863 in Maragondon, Cavite and he died in May 10, 1897, the
cause of his death was execution at the age of 33 years old. (November 30, 1863
– May 10, 1897) was a Filipino revolutionary leader and the president of the
Tagalog Republic. He is often called "The Father of the Philippine Revolution".
He was one of the founders and later Supremo (Supreme Leader) of the Kataas-
taasang, Kagalang-galangang Katipunan ng mga Anak ng Bayan or more
commonly known as the "Katipunan", a movement which sought the
independence of the Philippines from Spanish colonial rule and started the
Philippine Revolution. He was also one of the Filipino historical figures to be
recommended as a national hero of the Philippines.

2. Katipunan (KKK)
 Founded by Filipino patriots Andrés Bonifacio, Teodoro Plata, Ladislao Diwa
and others, on July 7, 1892 in a house on Azcarraga street (now Claro M. Recto),
in Tondo Manila.

The Katipunan was a secret organization until it was discovered in 1896. The
members agreed to recruit more people using the “triangle system” of
enlistment. Each original member would recruit tow new members who were not
related to each other. Each new member would do the same thing, and so on
down the line. Members were also asked to contribute one Real (about 25
centavos) each month in order to raise funds for the association.

The officers of katipunan

Andres Bonifacio Supremo
Pio Valenzuela Fiscal and Physician
Emilio Jacinto Secretary
Vicente Molina Treasurer
Enrique Pacheco Councilor
Pantaleon Torres Councilor
Balbino Florentino Councilor
Francisco Carreon Councilor
Hermenigildo Reyes Councilor
 The Katipunan being a secret organization, its members were subjected to the
utmost secrecy and were expected to abide by the rules established by the
society. Aspiring applicants were given standard initiation rites in order to
become members of the society. At first, membership in the Katipunan was only
open to male Filipinos; later, women were accepted into the society.

The Kartilya ng Katipunan served as the guidebook for new members of the
organization, which laid out the group's rules and principles. The first edition of
the Kartilya was written by Emilio Jacinto. Andrés Bonifacio later wrote a
revised Decalogue. The Decalogue, originally titled Katungkulang Gagawin ng
mga Z. Ll. B. (Duties of the Sons of the People), was never published because
Bonifacio believed that Jacinto's Kartilya was superior to what he had made.

3. Tejeros Convention
 Elected Officers
President Emilio Aguinaldo Magdalo
Vice-President Mariano Trías Magdiwang
Captain-General Artemio Ricarte Magdiwang
Director of War Emiliano Riego de Dios Magdiwang

 Conflict between Bonifacio and Aguinaldo

On March 22, 1897, the Magdiwang and Magdalo chapters of the Katipunan,
which also happened to be the two largest and most powerful Katipunan
branches in the country, were set to convene in Cavite in what will be known as
the infamous Tejeros Convention. The purpose of the Convention was to discuss
the Katipunan’s defense of Cavite, and to set up a revolutionary government, in
part to quell the rivalry between the Magdiwang and Magdalo groups. Bonifacio,
as the leader of the Katipunan, presided over the convention. Although
Bonifacio did not take sides in any faction, it was thought that Magdiwang was
more supportive of Bonifacio than Magdalo, whose leaders were composed of
disgruntled members of the rich principalia, including Aguinaldo. At the
Convention, while others were proposing a monarchy, Bonifacio moved to erect
a democratic republican government by electing leaders of the revolutionary
government. During the elections, he was nominated for the position of
President, but lost to Aguinaldo. He was again nominated for the position of
Vice President, but lost again. Bonifacio honorably accepted the losses. Finally,
he was nominated for the last and lowest position of Interior Secretary—a
position created presumably as a sign of respect for the Katipunan founder—
which he eventually won.
