Magdalo. Talisay in Batangas Was Under Magdalo While The Nasugbu, Tuwi, and Look

The document discusses two factions, the Magdiwang and Magdalo, that the Katipunan of Cavite divided into. The Magdiwang had its own organizational structure and leadership while the Magdalo controlled certain areas. As the supreme head, Bonifacio expected to be obeyed by all but seeds of discontent emerged as the two factions did not see themselves as united and had different preferences for leadership, causing conflicts at their assembly in Tejeros.

SEEDS OF DISCONTENT

The Katipunan of Cavite, divided into two factions, the Magdiwang and the

Magdalo. Talisay in Batangas was under Magdalo while the Nasugbu, Tuwi, and Look

were under Magdiwang. The Magdiwang had the following organizational structure:

Mariano Alvarez, President; Pascual Alvarez, Executive Secretary; Emiliano Riego de

Dios, Minister of the Interior between the Magdalo leaders. As supreme head of the

Katipunan, Bonifacio took it for granted that he would be obeyed by all. In this seeds of

discontent, I notice that the Magdalo and Magdiwang are not considered as one. They

are having partition or factions. They have their own plans. In electing new officers and

having new government, they were not able to agree Andres Bonifacio being the

president. Everyone has their own opinions and they want to recognize the government

organized by the Association of the Sons of the People but the Magdalo wants another

organization. They always want to separate. But when the time they had the election,

Andres Bonifacio was not the one who became president. And when he won in the

secretary of interior, Daniel Tirona requested for restoration of order because according

to him, the lawyer, Jose del Rosario, must be the one in the position. Supremo got

angry and in his letter to his friend, Emilio Jacinto and to his uncle-in-law, Mariano

Alvarez, this left a large poisonous thorn in his heart because they have an agreement

that the majority of the votes will be the one elected but they didn’t follow it.
THE KATIPUNAN AND THE REVOLUTION

As the assembly in Tejeros on March 25, 1897 was organized, they discussed

on how do they addressed the problem of their organization and the strengthening of

defenses. They had an election of president, vice president, minister of finance, minister

of welfare, minister of justice and captain general. They agreed that no matter what the

candidate’s station in life or his educational attainment is, if he would get the majority of

the votes, he will be the one elected. Voters had the freedom to vote but Diego Mojica

warned Supremo that the ballots distributed by Daniel Tirona were already filled out and

the voters had not done this themselves. Supremo ignored it. They proceeded to the

counting of the votes. The newly elected president was Emilio Aguinaldo; for vice

president, Mariano Trias; for captain, General Vibora; and, for secretary of war,

Emiliano de Dios. When Andres Bonifacio won over Mariano Alvarez as the secretary of

interior, Daniel Tirona requested for restoration of order because according to him, the

lawyer, Jose del Rosario, must be the one in the position. Supremo voided all matters

approved in the meeting because they didn’t follow what they had agreed upon. The

next day, they continue the meeting with the Magdalo leaders but no one came. Rumors

said that Magdalo had their own meeting. They posted troops to guard the Tanza parish

house for their oath-taking ceremonies. However, I didn’t know why there such people

who were secretly breaking the agreement and the trust of everyone. Also, I notice that

they are an organization but they were not able to have a good communication that will

help their organization better.


BUTUAN OR LIMASAWA?

THE SITE OF THE FIRST MASS IN THE PHILIPPINES:

A REEXAMINATION OF THE EVIDENCE

As I have read the article, I think the first ever Christian Mass in the Philippines

was celebrated in the island of Limasawa and not in Butuan City. Some evidences cited

were: Pigafetta’s Mazaua, the site of the first Christian Mass held on Philippine soil, is

an island lying off the southwestern tip of Leyte while Masao in Butuan is not an island;

the measurement of distances between Homonhon and Limasawa between Limasawa

and Cebu matches the delineations made by Pigafetta of the distances between

Homonhon and Mazaua and between Mazaua and Cebu; and, Magellan’s fleet took a

route from Homonhon to Mazaua and Mazaua to Cebu that did not any time touch any

other part of Mindanao. Also, some of the English translation of the primary source from

Pigafetta’s account is not reliable. They said that the most reliable was James

Robertson’s English translation. Maybe there is just the misunderstanding among the

other translations and that the description of the place in Pigafetta’s account was like

the Butuan City.
