Seal used on KKK Supreme Council
documents until 1896 |
1896 - Orders aimed at strengthening the internal organization, including the implementation of new secret signs, and the financial capacity of the Kataastaasang Kagalanggalangang Katipunan nang manga Anak nang Bayan (KKK),
the secret revolutionary organization aimed at liberating the
Philippines from Spanish colonial rule, are issued by the Supreme
Assembly and Supreme Council; during the same meeting, Katipunan
co-founder and Supremo Andres Bonifacio y de Castro reminds all members
to strictly follow said orders as the council also announces the
immediate expulsion of all erring Katipunan members; the 11-point orders
of the KKK Kataastaasang Kapisanan [Supreme Assembly] and the
Kataastaasang Sangunian [Supreme Council] include listing certain expelled members as "Traitors," such as Jose
Turiano Santiago (cousin-in-law of KKK official Emilio Jacinto) for supposedly disparaging the Katipunan before the
family of patriot and polymath Jose Rizal y Mercado; the new secret signs approved
include placing one's right hand on the left shoulder to signify that
everything is all right and the password "Na Sa Anak Bayan" [With the
Children of the People].
