THE KKK AND THE “ K A RT I LYA N G K AT I P U N A N ” Group 2 In 1892, KKK or the Kataastaasan, Kagalanggalangang Katipunan ng mga Anak ng Bayan was founded by Andres Bonifacio. Previous armed revolts had already occurred before the foundation of the Katipunan, but none of them envisioned a unified Filipino nation revolting against the colonizers. For example, Diego Silang was known as an Ilocano who took up his arms and led one of the longest running. revolts in the country. Silang, however, was mainly concerned about his locality and referred to himself as El Rey de Ilocos (The King of Ilocos). It is the only organization that envisioned. 1. A united Filipino Nation that would revolt against the Spaniards 2. The total independence of the country from Spain. On the other hand, the propaganda movements led by the ilustrados like Marcelo H. del Pilar. Graciano Lopez Jaena, and Jose Rizal did not envision a total. separation of the Philippines from Spain, but only demanded equal rights, representation, and protection from the abuses of friars.

What thou dost not desire done unto thy wife, children, brothers and sisters, that do not unto the wife, children, brothers and sisters of thy neighbor 13.
