Reynaldo Clemeña Ileto. Pasyon and Revolution: Popular Movements
in the Philippines, 18401910. Quezon City: Ateneo de Manila University
Press, 1979.
NYPL, General Research Division
Ileto's modern treatment of the secret codes, symbolism, and language of the
Katipunan has greatly contributed to an understanding of the movement's underlying
semi-religious appeals and popular support. This triangular sketch demonstrates
that the movement was organized in a sophisticated way in order to guarantee
secrecy. Ultimately the movement was led by Aguinaldo, who promoted Western
precepts of liberty, equality, and fraternity, and maintained a firm authority
over the movement's leadership even during its temporary exile in Hong Kong.
