7.  Bonifacio was not born and raised a
plebeian, his mother was half-Spanish

understanding of the socio-historical process.

11.  Four days after the establishment of the Liga
(La Liga Filipina), July 7,1892, the arrest and
banishment of Jose Rizal the day before
made it practically nonexistent as an
organization.

Calle Azcarraga,
Manila.

16. BY EMILIO
JACINTO
AS A
OFFICIAL
CODE OF
CONDUCT
OF
KATIPUNAN

20.  The First Meeting of Tejeros
 On March 22, 1897, the Magdiwang
(KATIPUNAN FACTION) and Magdalo
(CAVITENIO) councils met once more, this
time at the friar estate house in Tejeros, a
barrio of San Francisco de Malabon.

21.  Decided to elect the officers of the
revolutionary government, thus
unceremoniously discarding the supreme
council of the katipunan under whose
standard the people had been fighting and
would continue to fight.

22.  The results were:
 President Emilio Aguinaldo
 Vice-President Mariano Trias
 Captain-General Artemio Ricarte
 Director of War Emiliano Riego de
Dios
 Director of the Interior Andres
Bonifacio

23.  It must have been a bitter pill to swallow,
especially since even the Magdiwangs who
were supposed to be his supporters did not
vote for him either for President or Vice-
President.

24.  Evidently, the Caviteño elite could not
accept an "uneducated" man, and a non-
Caviteño at that, even for the minor post of
Director of the Interior. Daniel Tirona
protested Bonifacio's election saying that the
post should not be occupied by a person
without a lawyer's diploma. He suggested a
Caviteño lawyer, Jose del Rosario for the
position.

25.  The Second Meeting at Tejeros
 Bonifacio and his men, numbering forty-five,
again met at the estate-house of Tejeros on
March 23.
 Convinced that the election held was
invalid, they drew up a document, now
called the Acta de Tejeros, in which they
gave their reasons for not adopting the
results of the convention held the previous
day.

26.  Bonifacio and his men proceeded to Naik in
order to be as far as possible from Magdalo
men who, they thought, were responsible for
the commission of anomalies during the
Tejeros election.
 Aguinaldo, wanting to bring back Bonifacio
to the fold, sent a delegation to him to
persuade him to cooperate with the newly
constituted government. But Bonifacio
refused to return to the revolutionary fold
headed by Aguinaldo.

27.  Bonifacio's anger over what he considered
an irregular election and the insult heaped
on him by Daniel Tirona.
 They resolved to establish a government
independent of, and separate from, that
established at Tejeros. An army was to be
organized "by persuasion or force" and a
military commander of their own choice was
to take command of it.

28.  The document posed a potential danger to
the cause of the Revolution, for it meant a
definite split in the ranks of the
revolutionists and an almost certain defeat
in the face of a united and well-armed
enemy.

29.  Charges of Andres Bonifacio
 That Andres Bonifacio had been paid by the
friars to organize the Katipunan and to send
forth unarmed Filipinos into a struggle
against the Spanish government which
possessed everything necessary for a harsh
campaign.

30.  That Andres Bonifacio had ordered his men
to burn the church and convent of Indang
should the Spaniards capture the town.
 That Andres Bonifacio’s men stole carabaos
and other work animals by force and killed
them for food.
 That Andres Bonifacio had misspent all the
funds of the Katipunan.
 That Andres Bonifacio intended to surrender
with all his men to the Spaniards.

31.  The President of the Philippine Republic
received these charges, he immediately sent
Colonels Agapito Bonson and Jose Ignacio
Paua with all their forces to Limbon.
 They killed Ciriaco Bonifacio, the eldest
brother of Andres, and threw themselves on
Bonifacio’s forces, immediately disarming
them.

32.  Bonson fired his revolver at Bonifacio,
wounding him in the left arm, and Paua,
with an unsheathed dagger in his hand, also
sprang at him, striking him in the left side of
the neck.

33.  The wounded Bonifacio was placed in a
hammock and brought back to Naic, along
with Gregoria and Procopio, for a pre-trial
hearing. Based on sufficient cause, a military
court was quickly convened in Maragondon,
Cavite, on May 4. The following day, the
court charged the Bonifacio brothers with
treason and sedition. On May 6, they were
sentenced to death.

34. The Roderico
Reyes
Ancestral House,
the Bonifacio
Trial House, is a
historic house an
d museum in
Maragondon,
Cavite,
Philippines.

36.  The Bonifacio shrine at the foot of Mount
Nagpatong and Mount Buntis
in Maragondon, Cavite where it is believed
he was executed, on May 10, 1897.

37.  Lazaro Macapagal, said in two separate
accounts that the Bonifacio brothers were
shot to death, which is the orthodox
interpretation. Macapagal's second account
has Bonifacio attempting to escape after his
brother is shot, but he is also killed while
running away. Macapagal writes that they
buried the brothers in shallow graves dug
with bayonets and marked by twigs.
