Katipunan
• The Spanish authorities confirmed the existence of the
Katipunan on August 19, 1896. Hundreds of Filipino
suspects, both innocent and guilty, were arrested and
imprisoned for treason. José Rizal was then on his way
to Cuba to serve as a doctor in the Spanish colonial
army, in exchange for his release from Dapitan. When
the news broke, Bonifacio first tried to convince Rizal,
quarantined aboard a ship in Manila Bay, to escape and
join the imminent revolt. Bonifacio, Emilio Jacinto and
Guillermo Masanghay disguised themselves as sailors
and went to the pier where Rizal's ship was anchored.
Jacinto personally met with Rizal, who rejected their
rescue offer. Rizal himself was later arrested, tried and
executed.
• was influenced by Freemasonry through its rituals and
organization, and several members aside from Bonifacio
were also Freemasons. Within the society Bonifacio
used the pseudonym May pag-asa ("There is Hope").
