Admission System of KKK
Any person who wished to join the Katipunan was subjected to certain
initiation rites, resembling those of Masonic rites, to test his courage, patriotism
and loyalty. New recruits underwent the initiation rite three at a time so that no
member knew more than two other members of the society. The neophyte was first
blindfolded and then led into a dimly lighted room with black curtains where his
folded cloth was removed from his eyes. An admonition, in Tagalog, was posted at
the entrance to the room:

Kung may lakás at tapang, ìkaw'y

makatutuloy!
(If you have strength and valor, you
can proceed!)

Kung ang pag-uusisa ang nagdalá

sa iyó dito'y umurong ka.
(If what has brought you here is only
 Inside the candle-lit room, they would be brought to a table adorned with a
skull and a bolo. There, they would condemn the abuses of the Spanish
government and vow to fight colonial oppression:
1. In what condition did the Spanish find the Filipino people when they came?
2. In what condition do they find themselves now?
3. What hope do the Filipino people have for the future?
The next step in the initiation ceremony was the lecture given by the master
of ceremonies, called Mabalasig/Mabalasik (terrible brother), who informed the
neophyte to withdraw if he lacked courage since he would be out of place in the
patriotic society. If the neophyte persisted, he was presented to the assembly of the
brethren, who subjected him to various ordeals such as blindfolding him and
making him shoot a supposedly a revolver at a person, or forcing him to jump over
a supposedly hot flame. After the ordeals came to final rite–the pacto de
sangre or blood compact–in which the neophyte signed the following oath with
the blood taken from his arm:

Ako'y si ______________, Nanunumpa sa ngalan ng Dios at ng

bayan na ipagtatanggol nang buong katapangan ang mga kadahilanan He
ng K.K.K. ng mga A. ng B., ingatan ang kaniyang lihim na mamasdan was
at mapakinggan, sundin siya ng pikit -mata, saklolohan ang lahat na
mga kasama sa lahat na panganib at pagkakailangan nila, Nanunumpa
at nangangako rin naman ako na mag-pitagan sa kanilang mga
Pinuno, huag na magtaksil sa kanilang mga kautusan at bilin at
tatalaan kong aking dugo na kusang ibububo dito sa kasulatang
hinaharap.
