    1. The Katipunan was a secret society founded by Filipinos in Manila in 1892 to overthrow
    Spanish rule. It was a de facto government because it had a constitution, a system of
    laws, and a structure of governance. It was organized into several levels, with the
    Supreme Council at the top, followed by provincial and municipal councils. Bonifacio, as
    the Supremo of the Katipunan, acted as the head of this government. He led the
    revolution against Spain and declared independence in 1896. Therefore, he can be
    considered as the first President of the Philippines, even though he was not officially
    recognized as such.

    2.

    ● Mga Gunita ng Himagsikan by Emilgio Aguinaldo is written based on a diary he kept,


    several documents he preserved, and family lore he gathered from his elders. Aguinaldo
    was one of the many members of the Katipunan and belonged to the Magdalo faction.
    He led numerous attacks and won victories against the Spaniards in the Cavite province.
    After the death of Bonifacio, he assumed total leadership of the revolution. Later,
    Aguinaldo forcibly set up a provisional dictatorship in the country, declared Philippine
    independence on June 12, 1898, and sworn in as the first president of the new,
    self-governed Philippine republic. Believed to be of two volumes, Aguinaldo’s memoir
    includes accounts beginning from his birth, his early life, and his participation in the
    revolution. However, the first volume ends the memoir only with the details of the Treaty
    in Biak-na-Bato. Although its existence is still not proven, the second volume is assumed
    to continue with the Philippine Revolution against Spain and the Philippine-American
    War. The provided excerpts begin the memoir with Aguinaldo’s arrival to Cavite and
    his encounter with two of his generals which led to the confrontation of the three
    Filipino civil guards patrolling their territory.

    ● The Roots of Filipino Nation by O.D. Corpuz. It begins as the story of our ancestors,
    their differentiation into Muslims and non-Muslims, and then the division of the
    non-Muslims into Christians and non-Christians. It tells of their separation for centuries,
    and then of how the Natives, Chinese and Spanish mestizos, and even some
    full-blooded Spaniards born in Filipinas, united to form the Christian Filipino nation. It
    tells of the imperfect joining of Christians and Muslims during the American colonial
    regime, as distinguished from the vision of Rizal and Aguinaldo if a fraternal,
    all-archipelago union. The work on this story began as a quest for enlightenment on the
    nature and future of Filipino society and politics.
