a Tagalog weekly; the

memoirs are reproduced in this

volume together with the

English translation by Paula

Carolina Malay. Main

information that resides in this

book is from the experiences

of Alvarez. He would always

write down what is happening

in the movement of Katipunan.

His notes and records are the

guide that he used to make this

book.

Santiago Alvarez was an active

member of the Katipunan. He

was already a delegado general of

the provincial council of the

Katipunan in Cavite. He became

the captain general and after, the

commander-in-chief of the

Magdiwang forces. As one of the

members of Katipunan, he was a

direct participant of the event

and he wrote his experiences and

observations on an ordinary

paper that is why this book

exists.

All the information found

within the book is from

Alvarez’s own experiences. He

was a direct witness to all that

happened in the Katipunan

because he was an active

member of it and he

participated in the process of

the Revolution.

The date of the information is the

same as the actual time of the

event. It was indicated in the book

that it occurred in March 25, 1897.

Therefore, the milieu is the

Spanish colonization and conquest.

Masses: The Story of

Bonifacio and the Katipunan

book is an indepth discussion

on the Katipunan and the life

history of its Supremo Andres

Bonifacio through the use of

pertinent primary sources

concerning the Philippine

Revolution against Spain.

Teodoro A. Agoncillo is a

renowned Filipino historian and

national scientist. He was born in

November 9, 1912 at Lemery,

Batangas. He stands as the most

prominent 20th century Filipino

historians to emerge during the

post-war period. Agoncillo's

remains a popular standard

textbook in many Filipino

universities as are many of

Agoncillo's other works.

Katipunan and the

Revolution:

Memoirs of a

General

It is narrated in the book the

experiences of being an active

member of the Katipunan. The

main aim of the Katipunan was

to free Filipinos from the

conquest of the Spaniards. The

group was organized to

scheme the revolution in order

to free the country.

The people who are present in the

Tejeros convention were

members of the Katipunan.

Namely, the Magdiwang and

Magdalo. The Magdiwang

included Jacinto Lumbreras,

Andres Bonifacio, Mariano

Alvarez, Pascual Alvarez,

Santiago Alvarez, Ariston

Villanueva, Mariano C. Trias,

Diego Mojica, Emiliano De Dios,

It can be presumed that the way

Alvarez narrated the story may

be different because he was a

participant of the event. One of

the reasons why Alvarez has

the tendency of taking the side

of Magdiwang because he is a

member of it.

How Alvarez told the story of

the event may contrast how

Agoncillo narrated it especially

The narration of Alvarez is similar

to the narration of Agoncillo

except for the following details:

-It is Baldomero Aguinaldo whom

told that the meeting must be

finished because it is getting dark

outside not by Bonifacio.

-Diego Mojica point out the

anomalies on the ballots distributed

by Daniel Tirona being already
