- We're ready to attack and fight them!
- In the evening of August 29, 1896, katipuneros attacked the Gunpowder factory. Since it was 4 am the Spaniards were surprised and not ready which resulted in their temporary retreat. This was The Battle of San Jose Del Monte led by Andres Bonifacio.
- let's go and seize the Gunpowder factory!
- But Spanish forces with Filipino armies known this and they clashed again. Spaniards weapons were powerful that led to katipuneros retreat
- On November 9- 11 1896, the battle was at the shores of Binakayan, in the town of Cavite Viejo. It lasted for two days until the Spanish army retreated. This led to the first victory of the Filipinos in Philippine history.
- We won the battle! Hurray, Hurrayy!!!
- Martial law is the temporary rule by military authority of designated areas in an emergency situation where suspected civilians rebel against their community.
- In November 30,1896, Roman Blanco declared a state of war under the Martial Law to the eight provinces in Luzon, where rebellion continues.
- Yes sir! We will help you capture all the rebels.
- I will declare martial law to stop the rebellion of these Filipinos
- Many Filipinos died and captured. They're either imprisoned or exiled. They even thought Jose Rizal was a part of this that caused them to shot him in Bagumbayan.
- This led the katipuneros to hold meetings in Imus Cavite but unfortunately, it didn't do any good. Some of them wanted a new government and leadership which were opposed by the others. So Katipunan was divided into 2 groups. The Magdalo led by Emilio Aguinaldo and Magdiwang by Andres Bonifacio
- The Imus convention failed since both groups disagree with each other. They held another meeting called Tejeros convention but the intention of Magdalo group was to insist a new government and they made Aguinaldo the president and Bonifacio was in the lowest rank. At first he was mad but he accepted it.
- WE need to change the leadership and have new government. Katipunan failed many times.
- No need to change it. I did everything in my power for our freedom that caused my men died for this.
- You weren't able to finish even high school hence no position should be given to you
- But Binifacio had enough and furious when Daniel Tirona said that he wasn't suited for any position since he didn't obtain any lawyer's diploma.
- Bonifacio insisted that the election was null and void and refused to acknowledge it. This sadly led to his death, together with his brothers. His wife was even raped.
- This is unfair! We still did everything for our country! I won't accept this new government!
- Aguinaldo's advisors thought that Bonifacio would be the hindrance to their new government's progress and needed to be removed by death.
- Nooo! Why did you kill my husband!
- After Bonifacio died, Aguinaldo led the Philippine revolution and established a republic of Biak-na-Bato. This was an agreement between them and Spaniards, it stated that there would be freedom of religion and the press, and right to education.
- Please let us end this war and live peacefully.
- Republic is form of government where the power is held by the people and their elected representative or president.
- I totally agree with you. We'll pay 800.000 to the Filipinos.
- But this agreement didn't take long since Filipinos and Spaniards didn't trust each other. Their fight continues while Aguinaldo was in Hongkong. It resulted Spaniards to not pay the remaining money that they should pay.
- This led to a failure agreement of Biak-na-Bato
