Editing Katipunan (section)

===Administration===
The Katipunan was governed by the Supreme Council (Tagalog: ''Kataas-taasang Sanggunian'').<ref>{{Harvnb|Kalaw|1925|p=87}}</ref> The first Supreme Council of the Katipunan was formed around August 1892, a month after the founding of the society. The Supreme Council was headed by an elected president (''pangulo''), followed by the secretary/secretaries (''kalihim''), the treasurer (''tagaingat-yaman'') and the [[Public Prosecutor (Autonomous Communities of Spain)|fiscal]] (''tagausig'').<ref name="Richardson: 2007"/> The Supreme Council also had its councilors (''kasangguni''); the number varied through presidencies.<ref name="Richardson: 2007"/> To distinguish from presidents of lower ''sanggunian'' or councils (below), the president of the Supreme Council was called the Supreme President (Tagalog: ''Kataas-taasang Pangulo''; Spanish: ''Presidente Supremo'').<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://filipino.biz.ph/history/council.html|title=Philippine History – The Katipunan: The Supreme Councils|access-date=April 10, 2014|archive-date=August 15, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170815151731/http://filipino.biz.ph/history/council.html|url-status=dead}}</ref>

At the outbreak of the [[Philippine Revolution|1896 Revolution]], the council was further reorganized into a 'cabinet' which the Katipunan regarded as a genuine [[Tagalog Republic|revolutionary government]], [[de facto]] and [[de jure]].<ref name=ricarte1926p27>{{Harvnb|Ricarte|1926|p=[https://books.google.com/books?id=8nlCAAAAYAAJ&q=de-facto 27]}}</ref>

In each province where there were Katipunan members, a provincial council called ''Sangguniang Bayan'' was established and in each town was an organized popular council called ''Sangguniang Balangay''. Each ''bayan'' and ''balangay'' had its own set of elected officials: ''pangulo'' (president); ''kalihim'' (secretary); ''tagausig'' (fiscal);'' tagaingat-yaman'' (treasurer); ''pangalawang pangulo'' (vice president); ''pangalawang kalihim'' (vice secretary); ''mga kasangguni'' (councilors); ''mabalasig'' (terrible brother); ''taliba'' (guard); ''maniningil'' (collector/auditor); ''tagapamahala ng basahan ng bayan'' (custodian of the people's library); ''tagapangasiwa'' (administrator); ''manunulat'' (clerk); ''tagatulong sa pagsulat'' (assistant clerk); ''tagalaan'' (warden) and ''tagalibot'' (patroller).<ref name="Richardson: 2007"/> Each ''balangay'' was given a chance to expand their own spheres of influence through the [[#Triangle system and grades|triangle system]] in order to elevate their status to ''Sangguniang Bayan''.<ref name="Richardson: 2007"/> Every ''balangay'' that did not gain ''Sangguniang Bayan'' status were dissolved and annexed by greater provincial or popular councils.<ref name="Richardson: 2007"/>

The towns/cities which supported the Katipunan cause were given symbolic names, such as ''Magdiwang'' (to celebrate) for [[Noveleta]]; ''Magdalo'' (to come) for [[Kawit]]; ''Magwagi'' (to win) for [[Naic]]; ''Magtagumpay'' (to succeed) for [[Maragondon, Cavite|Maragondon]]; ''Walangtinag'' (never-diminished) for [[Indang, Cavite|Indang]] and ''Haligue'' (wall) for [[Imus]]–all are in the province of [[Cavite]].<ref>{{Harvnb|Zaide|1984|pp=158–162}}</ref>

Within the society functioned a secret chamber, called Camara Reina,<ref>Lamberto Gabriel, Ang Pilipinas: Heograpiya, Kasaysayan at Pamahalaan (Isang Pagsusuri) {{ISBN|971-621-192-9}}</ref> which was presided over by Bonifacio, Jacinto and [[Pío Valenzuela]]. This mysterious chamber passed judgment upon those who had betrayed their oath and those accused of certain offenses penalized by Katipunan laws. Every ''katipunero'' stood in fearful awe of this chamber. According to José P. Santos, throughout the existence of the secret chamber, about five ''katipuneros'' were convicted and sentenced to die by it. The death sentence was handed down in the figure of a cup with a [[Serpent (symbolism)|serpent]] coiled around it.<ref>{{Harvnb|Santos|1930|pp=17–21}}</ref>
