Page "Andrés Bonifacio" Paragraph 7

For a time, Bonifacio worked with both the Katipunan and La Liga Filipina.

La Liga eventually split because less affluent members like Bonifacio lost hope for peaceful reform, and stopped their monetary aid.

Wealthier, more conservative members who still believed in peaceful reforms set up the Cuerpo de Compromisarios, which pledged continued support to the reformists in Spain.

The radicals were subsumed into the Katipunan.

From Manila, the Katipunan expanded into several provinces, including Batangas, Laguna, Cavite, Bulacan, Pampanga, and Nueva Ecija.

Most of its members, called Katipuneros, came from the lower and middle classes, with many of its local leaders being prominent figures in their municipalities.

At first exclusively male, membership was later extended to females, with Bonifacio's wife Gregoria de Jesús as a leading member.
