The document summarizes the campaign for reforms and the rise of the Katipunan independence movement in the Philippines under the leadership of Andres Bonifacio. Filipinos were discontented with heavy taxes and lack of representation in government. Reformist societies aimed to make the Philippines a Spanish province and grant Filipinos citizenship rights. However, the reform movement failed, leading Bonifacio to found the secret Katipunan society in 1892 seeking independence. The Katipunan's discovery in 1896 sparked the Philippine Revolution against Spanish colonial rule.
