SUPREMO OF KATIPUNAN
The Katipunan was a Philippine revolutionary society founded by Filipino anti-Spanish people in Manila in 1892, which was aimed primarily to gain independence from Spain through revolution. The society was initiated by Filipino patriots Andrés Bonifacio, Teodoro Plata, Ladislao Diwa, and others on the night of July 7, when Filipino writer José Rizal was sentenced to banished to Dapitan. Initially, Katipunan was a secret organization until its discovery in 1896 that led to the outbreak of Philippine Revolution. The word "katipunan" (literally means association) came from the root word "tipon", an indigenous Tagalog word, meaning: "society" or "gather together".[3] Its official revolutionary name is Kataas-taasang, Kagalang-galangang Katipunan ng̃ mg̃á Anak ng̃ Bayan[1] (English: Supreme and Venerable Society of the Children of the Nation, Spanish: Suprema y venerable asociación de los hijos del pueblo). Katipunan is also known by its acronym, K.K.K.. Being a secret organization, its members are subjected to utmost secrecy and are expected to abide with the rules established by the society.[3] Aspirant applicants were given standard initiation rites to become members of the society. At first, Katipunan was only open for male Filipinos; not later then, women were accepted in the society. The Katipunan has its own publication, Ang Kalayaan (The Liberty) that had its first and last print on March 1896. Revolutionary ideals and works flourished within the society, and Philippine literature were expanded by its some prominent members. In planning the revolution, Bonifacio contacted Rizal for its full-pledged support for the Katipunan in exchange of promising Rizal's liberty from detainment by rescuing him. On May 1896, a delegation was sent to the Emperor of Japan to solicit funds and military arms.
