This is a fact glossed over in our history books like Historia:Pag-usbong, Pakikipag-tagpo at Pagbubuo by Prof. Raul Roland Sebastian and Dr. Amalia C. Rosales. Aguinaldo, a bachelor and the capitan municipal of Cavite El Viejo (now Kawit), was induced into the Katipunan, a secret revolutionary society founded by Bonifacio, the Katipunan Supremo. This was in March 1895, before Aguinaldo's twenty-sixth birthday (based on my report), in a house on Clavel Street, in Tondo, Manila. It was Santiago Alvarez, his bosom friend and son of Mariano Alvarez, capitan municipal of Noveleta, Cavite, who persuaded Aguinaldo, a mason, to join the Katipunan. Aguinaldo in turn persuaded Alvarez to join the Free masonry.…

    On February 28, 1888, a year after the publication of Noli Me Tangere, and six months after his arrival in the Philippines, José Rizal sailed from Manila again, by "advice" of the government. The controversy over the Noli took its toll on Rizal. He soon found that he had to travel abroad once again to guarantee his intellectual and personal freedom. He would have to go to some country where he would be free from spies or plots. As he prepared for his return to Europe, Rizal had an intensified sense of his own country.
