In the course of the revolution against Spain, a split developed between the ''Magdiwang'' faction (led by Gen. [[Mariano Álvarez]]) and the ''Magdalo'' faction (led by Gen. [[Baldomero Aguinaldo]], cousin of General [[Emilio Aguinaldo]]), both situated in [[Cavite]].

At a [[Tejeros Convention|convention in Tejeros]], Cavite, the revolutionaries assembled to form a revolutionary government. There, on March 22, 1897, it was decided to dissolve the Katipunan and establish a [[republic]].<ref name=jose1992>{{cite book|author=Ricardo Trota Jose|title=The Philippine Army, 1935–1942|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=kGocnp15GQ8C|year=1992|publisher=Ateneo University Press|isbn=978-971-550-081-4|page=[https://books.google.com/books?id=kGocnp15GQ8C&dq=22+march+1897+%22dissolve+the+katipunan%22&pg=PA10 10]}}</ref> Bonifacio lost his bid for the presidency of the revolutionary government to Emilio Aguinaldo, who was in Pasong Santol, fighting the Spanish forces and instead was elected Secretary of the Interior. When members of the ''Magdalo'' faction tried to discredit him as uneducated and unfit for the position, Bonifacio declared the results of the convention as null and void, speaking as the ''Supremo'' of the Katipunan. Despite this, Aguinaldo took his oath of office as president the next day in Santa Cruz de Malabon (present-day Tanza) in Cavite, as did the rest of the officers, except for Bonifacio.<ref>{{Harvnb|Sagmit|2007|p=[https://books.google.com/books?id=SIq_FvJUr40C&dq=oath&pg=RA5-PT58 158]}}</ref> Bonifacio and a few others issued the [[Acta de Tejeros]], proclaiming the events at the Tejeros Convention to have been "disorderly and tarnished by chicanery.", followed by the [[Naic Military Agreement]] characterizing actions at Tejeros to have been treasonous. This led to Andrés Bonifacio and his brother [[Procopio Bonifacio|Procopio]] being arrested due to alleged incidents in [[Indang]] and, upon the orders of the Council of War and approved by Gen. Aguinaldo, they were both executed on May 10, 1897, at Mount Buntis in Maragondon, Cavite. He and his brother were buried in an unmarked grave.{{sfn|Agoncillo|1990|pp=180–181}}

The Katipunan revolution led to the eventual establishment of the First Philippine Republic. The Philippine Republic, more commonly known as the [[First Philippine Republic]] or the [[Malolos Republic]] was a short-lived nascent [[Philippine Revolution|revolutionary government]] in the [[Philippines]]. It was formally established with the proclamation of the [[Malolos Constitution]] on January 23, 1899, in [[Malolos]], [[Bulacan]], and endured until the capture of [[Emilio Aguinaldo]] by the [[Military of the United States|American forces]] on March 23, 1901, in [[Palanan, Isabela|Palanan]], [[Isabela (province)|Isabela]], which effectively dissolved the First Republic. The [[United States]] eventually destroyed the [[First Philippine Republic]] in the [[Philippine–American War]]. Afterwards, the Americans exterminated any remaining vestige of the Katipunan.<ref name=worcester1914p180>{{Harvnb|Worcester|1914|p=[https://web.archive.org/web/20150924093848/http://www.gutenberg.org/catalog/world/readfile?fk_files=56151&pageno=180 180]}}</ref>{{failed verification|date=February 2014}}
