Today In The Past

- Samson Lucero -
Today, September 28, 1894, the Cuerpo de Compromisarios is organized by the conservatives.

The deportation of Rizal halted the organization of the Liga; but, as the result of the efforts of Domingo Franco, Andres Bonifacio and others, the Liga was reorganized. Apolinario Mabini was named Secretary of the Supreme Council.

The Liga was most active in its early days, thanks to the efforts of Andres Bonifacio and others, who succeeded in organizing the Popular Councils of Tondo and Trozo, those of Santa Cruz, Ermita, Malate, Sampaloc, Pandacan, etc., having been previously organized.

After a few months the Liga betrayed no sign that it existed, because Andres Bonifacio himself, who was its most indefatigable propagandist, was firmly convinced that peaceful means were of no avail.

Finally, the Supreme Council decreed the dissolution of the society in order to obviate the danger of the discovery of its existence by the authorities, in view of the difference of opinion among its members.

The conservative organized the Cuerpo de Compromisarios; but Andres Bonifacio and the other radicals concerned themselves in giving form and substance to the Katipunan.

Soon after the founding of the Katipunan, its first Supreme Council was formed, called Kataastaasang Sanggunian and its first president was Deodato Arellano.

When the revolution was declared, the Supreme Council was again reorganized and this time Andres Bonifacio was chosen as President.
