History Today.
130 years ago today, on 7 July 1892, the K.K.K.N.M.A.N.B. or Kataastaasan Kagalanggalang na Katipunan Ng Mga Anak Ng Bayan was founded in a house [upper right] that used to stand at the corner of today’s C.M. Recto and Elcano streets in downtown Manila.
The original house, still standing before World War II was marked by a bronze plaque [lower right] that translated from the original Spanish reads:
“The Filipino People through the durability of bronze, consecrates and perpetuates the historical value of this house, cradle [of the Revolution] where on 6 (sic) July 1892 was born to fight and triumph, under the leadership of Andres Bonifacio, the very highest, most respectable association of the sons of the country, the Katipunan.”
Largely ignored 364 days a year, the area is spruced up on July 7 by the City of Manila that holds a commemorative program before a historical tableau [Left] was erected near the street corner that depicts the founders of the Katipunan: Deodato Arellano, Andres Bonifacio, Valentin Diaz, Ladislao Diwa, Jose Dizon, and Teodoro Plata.

Tomorrow is the 130th anniversary of the Katipunan, a social movement that aimed to overthrow Spanish colonial rule and establish an independent nation.

Let's look back at the Katipunan's pivotal role in Philippine history through this article by Mr. Christian Bernard A. Melendez, Senior Shrine Curator of the NHCP - Museo ng Katipunan-Pinaglabanan Memorial Shrine.

This July 7 Thursday is a most meaningful day to have a good feel of movies. On this date in 1892, the Filipino nation may be said to have been born with the founding of the secret revolutionary society by a band of brave patriots who would later anoint plebeian Andres Bonifacio as its Supremo. UPFI Film Center teams up with Altermidya to present select features in anticipation of the 50th anniversary of the Declaration of Martial Law in September 1972 by then President Ferdinand Marcos. The films unravel in no uncertain terms the ruthlessness of the dictatorial regime and its betrayal of the ideals for which freedom for all Filipinos had been fought from the time of Katipunan - to give rise to a country never to be enslaved again.
