1897 - The Naik Military Agreement
declares that several Filipino revolutionaries (referring to but not
naming the camp of Emilio Aguinaldo y Famy) had committed treason
against the nation and the revolution by trying to forge a peace pact
with the Spanish colonial forces; signed by Generallissimo Supremo
Andres Bonifacio y de Castro and other Katipuneros; the
signatories resolve that they are no longer bound to recognize the
authority of the traitors and that all revolutionary forces shall be
unified under the command of Gen. Pio del Pilar , who, ironically,
will later betray Bonifacio and supposedly advise the latter's nemesis, Aguinaldo,
to have the Supremo executed; three days earlier, the Supremo reported
to Northern Manila chief commander, Emilio Jacinto, about how the
Magdalo faction led by Aguinaldo has negotiated with the enemy Spaniards to abandon the Revolution and explained that he needed to nullify all the resolutions that were adopted in the fraudulent and scandalously anomalous Tejeros Convention; many of the signatories of the Naic Military Agreement also earlier signed the “Acta de Tejeros”
that nullified the outcome of the Tejeros convention, thereby denying
that a republic, or a new revolutionary government, had just been created
and repudiating Aguinaldo’s election as president of the (new) revolutionary body that would supersede the Katipunan.

KKK Council/Supreme Council seal |
1896 - The Supreme Council of the Kataastaasang Kagalanggalangang Katipunan nang manga Anak nang Bayan (KKK),
the secret revolutionary society devoted to terminating Spanish
colonial hold on the Philippine Islands, holds a meeting wherein the
number of its members (kasangguni or councilors) is increased to twelve,
some four months before the Philippine Revolution erupts; what could
possibly have been the last change of membership in the Kataastaasang
Sanggunian before the Himagsikan is marked by the presence of a number
of non-Supreme Council activist members, indicating that attendance in
the governing bodies of the Katipunan was not rigidly and preclusively circumscribed,
and thus shows the democratic character of the KKK; the Kataastaasang
Sangunian members now include the Supremo Andres Bonifacio y de Castro,
Emilio Jacinto y Dizon, Dr. Pio Valenzuela, new member Enrique Pacheco,
and also Francisco Carreon, future Vice-President of the Katagalugan Republic that would continue the aspirations of the Supremo and the Katipunan during the
bloody and protracted Filipino-American War (1899-1914).
