Aims of Katipunan

To win Philippine independence by means of revolution

Recruitment
They first used the triangle method on recruiting members
Later on, since the triangle method was slow, Bonifacio allowed them to recruit as many members as possible
The First Edition of Kalayaan (the Katipunan newspaper) also helped a lot in recruiting more members.

Rizal and the Katipunan Rizal and the Revolution
The Katipunan was founded on the day Dr. Rizal was exiled
Bonifacio sent Dr. Pio Valenzuela to Dapitan to ask for Dr. Rizal’s opinion about the Revolution
Dr. Pio Valenzuela

Rizal’s answer Rizal and the Revolution
Rizal said that a revolution without sufficient arms should not be started against an armed nation. He suggested that they should find a way so that the elite of those times will join the Katipunan.
But Dr. Pio Valenzuela reasoned out that it would be difficult to make the elites join the poor. This was one problem Rizal was not able to find a solution.

Katipunan led the Revolution
