Founders of Katipunan

After Jose Rizal is thrown to Dapitan, in the evening of the same day July 7, Liga Filipina members
Ladislao Diwa, Teodoro Plata, Andres Bonifacio, Jose Dizon and Valentin Diaz  met at the house
of Deodato Arellano.  Here they organized the KKK or "Kataastaasan, Kagalangalangang Katipunan ng
mga Anak ng Bayan other known as "Katipunan”. It is a movement to advocate separation of the colony
from Spain. They formed the first two groups (triangles). A three-man unit designed to guarantee that
only two members would be known to any member at any time.  The triangulo or “tungko”, became a
cell called “Hasik” (to sow; scatter) whose job was to recruit members from their areas.  From these
beginnings, the Katipunan spread in the provinces until its discovery by the Spanish authorities ignited
the revolution of 1896.

1. Ladislao Diwa - Ladislao was from Logia Taliba No 165, Masonic name: Baguio.   A native of San
Roque, Cavite, he was working as "Escribano del Juzgado" when he was captured by the Spanish
authorities in Betis Pampanga,  after the exposure of the Katipunan.   He was  released after the
signing of the Pact of Biak-na-Bato.  Upon learning that he would be arrested again, he fled to
San Francisco de Malabon and joined the army of General Mariano Trias. Diwa served as 
delegate in the Malolos Congress. He is one of the two who survived the Philippine-American
war and returned to Cavite. Ladislao Diwa died on March 12, 1930.
2. Teodoro Plata - Teodoro was a member of Logia Taliba No 165, Masonic name Balany.  He was
the cousin of Gregoria de Jesus who became the wife of Andres Bonifacio.  He in turn married
Bonifacio's sister Espiridiona.  He was a close friend of Ladislao Diwa and both studied at the
"Universidad de Santo Tomas" (UST).  But he was not as fortunate as Diwa because he was
executed at Bagumbayan (Luneta) on February 1897.
3. Deodato Arellano - Deodato was from Logia Lusong No 185, Masonic name Buan.    He was the
first Supremo or president of the Supreme Council of the Katipunan, 1892-1893.  He was
present during Rizal’s founding of  La Liga Filipina and was elected  its secretary. He was
imprisoned in 1896 and went home to Bulacan after the first phase of the revolution.  At the
outbreak of the Philippine-American war, he joined the army brigade of his nephew, General
Gregorio del Pilar.  Arellano died of tuberculosis on October 7, 1899 while fighting in the
Cordillera mountains.
4. Jose Dizon – Jose, known as Masonic name Montgomery, was the  founder of Logia Taliba No.
165.  He served as Venerable Master of Taliba and  later became the Grand Fourth Vice-
President of the Gran Consejo Regional de Filipinas. He was the uncle of Emilio Jacinto. On
January 11, 1897 Jose Dizon and 12 other Masons and Liga members, were publicly executed at 
Bagumbayan (Luneta.)   
5. Valentin Diaz - Valentin  was a member of  Logia Taliba No 165, Masonic name Tupas.  He was
from Paoay, Ilocos Norte.  He became Oficial de Mesa del Juzgado de Binondo and like the
others, joined  Rizal's Liga Filipina.  He served as a councilor in the Supreme Council of the
Katipunan from 1892 to 1893.  He was one of the signatories of the pact of Biak-na-Bato and
joined General Aguinaldo in exile in Hong Kong.  He served as Colonel of the army and he is the
second one who survived the Philippine-American war. He died in 1916.
6. Andres Bonifacio - Also from Logia Taliba No 165, Bonifacio’s Masonic name was Sinukuan.
fourth and last Supremo of the Katipunan and led the start of the revolution in Manila in  1896.
He went to Cavite at the height of Spanish offensives to retake the province in late December
1896 reportedly, to mediate between the growing rivalry between the Magdiwang and Magdalo
Councils. In an assembly at the friar house in Tejeros, San Francisco de Malabon, on March 22,
1897, it was decided to replace the Katipunan  with a new  revolutionary government.  He
presided over the subsequent election where General Aguinaldo was elected president in
absentia. When he was elected as Director of the Interior, his qualifications were questioned
during his proclamation by Daniel Tirona. He refused to recognize the government of General
Aguinaldo.  For such actions, he and his brother Procopio were charged with treason and
sedition; captured  and tried by a Council of War.   They were found guilty and sentenced to
death.  Aguinaldo reportedly commuted the sentence to banishment but other generals
prevailed and the execution order was carried out on May 10 in the mountains of Maragondon,
Cavite.
