Reynaldo Clemeña Ileto. Pasyon and Revolution: Popular Movements in the Philippines, 1840–1910. 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.
