00:00The problem that eventually cropped up with the Cavite Catipunan was that they had two factions.
00:08One was the Magdiwang that was controlled by, headed by Mariano Alvarez.
00:15And the second one, of course, was the Magdalo, headed by Baldomero Aguinaldo, the cousin of Emilio.
00:26But even though Baldomero headed the Magdalo, Emilio Aguinaldo was the recognized leader.
00:35The leader for them, for the entire thing.
00:38The problem was you have two factions in one single province.
00:42It's their own territory.
00:44So when you have now two organizations in one single province that became victorious,
00:50each and every one now will become one of its own territory.
00:54The only disadvantage that they had was that the Magdiwang in Cavite were located in the different towns that were on the mountain side.
01:08However, the towns owned by the Magdalo, the ones occupied by the Magdalo, were either on the boundaries of the province or near the seaside.
01:18So what happens now? When the Spanish attack, ang ulang natatamaan were the Magdalo people.
01:25It caused quite a lot of problems now because the Magdiwang doesn't want to help.
01:30The only way that they could find a solution for this was to go to the recognized leader and let him referee over our differences.
01:47This was suggested, of course, by both the Magdiwang and Magdalo, which they agreed to.
01:54Let Bolifacio come to Cavite, let him referee over us, let him decide on whatever decision that he has, we will agree too.
02:01So they called Bolifacio, they had a messenger sent to Bolifacio who was hiding in Rizal province, he was hiding in Morong.
02:08He goes now to Cavite, he was met of course by, he was well respected.
02:16December 1896, tatlong buwan bago ang pagpupulong sa Tejeros, nagtungo na sa Cavite si Andres Bonifacio, kasama ang kanyang mga kapatid, asawang si Gregoria de Jesus at mga membro na Magdiwang.
02:32Ayon kay Xiao Chua, dito raw mas nangibabaw ang pagkakaiba sa pamumuno ni Bonifacio at Aguinaldo.
02:39Pagkasama namang lumaban ng Magdiwang at Magdalo, sa totoo lang, pero maraming pang ano, meron pang isa pang kailangang layer na makita dito na hindi masyadong nadidiscuss.
02:51And what is this? Si Andres Bonifacio, when he was in Cavite, alam naman natin na si Andres Bonifacio, pambansa na siyang mag-isip, hindi siya nag-iisip in a local way.
03:04So, ang nangyari dito, tandaan natin, bakit faithful yung mga tao ni Aguinaldo sa kanya?
03:11Because he was acting like a mayor mga pataon. Siya ay Gobernador Silio, kapitan ng Bayan ng Kawit.
03:18So, ang tao niya, basically, inakalagaan niya.
03:22So, ibig sabihin nun, kung may mga hindi pagsunod, hindi siya masyadong natinegosiate.
03:28Eh, si Andres Bonifacio, pag hindi ka sumunod, hindi ka sumunod, tanggal ka.
03:33Eh, nakita niya, merong isang Caviteño na, tinanggal ko na yan, bakit pa nandito yan, sabi ni Bonifacio.
03:39So, una pa lang, sampan niya sa Cavite, nagkakainitan na.
03:44And then, of course, the other thing was, kasi sabi nga ng mga istoryang single-minded man si Andres Bonifacio.
03:51Kung ano yung naiisip niya, yun yung talagang gusto niya.
03:54So, one problem was, tandaan natin yung mga Caviteño, religious people.
03:59Now, the paradox of Caviteño is, alam natin na they're very strong people.
04:05Alam nyo naman na dyan nagkakaroon ng mga maraming election-related violence.
04:10Pero, they were also deeply religious.
04:14Deeply religious.
04:15Ang nangyari dyan, Aguinaldo, alam natin, yung Magdalo came from St. Mary Magdaling yan.
04:20Now, what happened was, Andres Bonifacio, meron silang nahuhuling mga praile ng Caviteño.
04:26Isa na dyan, si Antonio Pernabieja, isang praile na dating na taga Bulacan.
04:32And this guy, siya yung pumatay, o sa kristan niya yung pumatay ng isang bata,
04:41na yun ang naging inspirasyon ni Rizal dun sa kwento ni Crispin sa No Limit Angere.
04:46So, notorious itong praile na ito, na si Antonio Pernabieja.
04:52So, napunta siya sa Cavite, dun siya nabutan na revolusyon, nahuhuli siya ni Bonifacio.
04:58Ang ginawa ni Bonifacio ay pinatay niya itong mga praile na ito, o pinapatay niya.
05:05Pinapatay niya sa maragondon, Cavite.
05:07So, yun, si Telesporo Canseco, a Caviteño, recorded that that is one of the reasons why some Caviteños,
05:15especially the rich people, did not like Bonifacio because of what he did to the priests.
05:20Why was Bonifacio in Cavite so early?
05:24Because we know that he was in Tejeros to help patch things up between Magdiwang and Magdalo.
05:32But back in November, may hidwaan na ba itong dalawang faction?
05:36Or may ibang dahilan kung bakit siya naandun sa Cavite?
05:40So, yes. Actually, yun na yung konteksto talaga, yung hidwaan.
05:44So, November pa lang, nandun na siya.
05:46The sources cannot tell us why he stayed so long.
05:50But I guess, he was really concerned with the Cavite affairs.
05:53Or, he really trusted yung iniwan niya doon sa Haring Bayang Katagalugan,
06:00doon sa tinatawag na Sangguniang Bayan ng Hilagahan.
06:03Who are, of course, Julio Nactil and Emilio Asinto.
06:06Dahil si Bonifacio ang kinikilala pa rin Supremo ng Katipunan,
06:11buong akala niya ay mananahalo siya sa halalan.
06:13So, he actually fought side by side with people who eventually became his enemies, no?
06:22Yes.
06:23And, yun na nga eh, papasukin na nga natin, no?
06:26So, going to the Tejeras Convention,
06:28people always depicted na parang it was a battle against Magdiwang and Magdalo.
06:35But for some strange reason, and I will tell you this,
06:38even if I am a Bonifacio advocate,
06:40ang nangyari dito, parang at some point,
06:45these two already were coalescing.
06:48Yan yung context ng Tejeras Convention.
06:51Apparently, it was sa Magdiwangay,
06:54si Berrino de la Salas,
06:55who suggested na dapat magpa-eleksyon na tayo.
07:01Magpa-eleksyon na tayo.
07:02Bakit?
07:04What is the need?
07:05May have a government.
07:07The Katipunan government,
07:08yung Haring Bayang Katagalugan ng Bonifacio,
07:10was a government.
07:12Ang sinasabi ni Severino de la Salas,
07:15hindi lahat ng Katipunan,
07:16at magdiwang ito,
07:17magdiwang siya,
07:19hindi lahat ng members ng revolution sa Kabite
07:24ay Katipunan.
07:25Yun na yung sinasabi natin.
07:26Kasi ka, they discarded the Katipunan method.
07:29At that premise,
07:30parang Andres Bonifacio
07:32agreed to an election
07:34thinking that he will still win.
07:37Sabi ko nga eh,
07:40kung ako si Bonifacio,
07:41dapat eh giniit ko,
07:42may pamahalaan tayo.
07:43Tapos eto pa yung nangyari.
07:46This is an election
07:48to overhaul
07:49the Katipunan hierarchy.
07:54Haring Bayang Katagalugan,
07:55bakit hindi in-invite
07:58yung ibang chapter?
07:59Bakit hindi pumunta si Jacinto
08:01from Pantayanin?
08:03Bakit hindi sila invited?
08:05Bakit itong Kabite lang yung invited?
08:07So parang ako,
08:08parang paradox sa akin yun.
08:09Hindi ko maintindihan
08:10bakit pumayag si Bonifacio.
08:12Unless he was thinking,
08:14hindi talaga siya tagilip.
08:15Di ba may mga taga Batangas
08:17na nandun?
08:17Nandun si Miguel Malvar, di ba?
08:20Well, yes,
08:20because they already joined the forces
08:22in Kabite.
08:24Si Irillo,
08:24taga Batangas yun,
08:25yung nagsabi na
08:26ituloy yung konbensyon
08:27kahit na umalis si Bonifacio.
08:29I will not discount the fact
08:30that there are other chapters.
08:32Pero nagtataka ako,
08:32bakit walang representative
08:34yung mga tao ni Bonifacio?
08:36Di ba?
08:37Yun yung ano doon.
08:38Unless yun na nga,
08:39he was really thinking
08:40that he would win.
08:41If you're going to look at the sources,
08:43that is what it seems to be.
08:45Kampante siya na
08:46susuportahan pa rin siya.
08:47Of course,
08:48what he did not know
08:49was what is already
08:50the brewing thinking
08:52about him
08:53among Kabiteños,
08:56especially the Kabiteño elite.
08:57Kampante siya.
