{{History of the Philippines}}
In 1892, after the ''Katipunan'' was founded, the members of the Supreme Council consisted of Arellano as president, Bonifacio as comptroller, Diwa as fiscal, Plata as secretary and Díaz as treasurer.<ref name=agoncillo1990p151>{{Harvnb|Agoncillo|1990|p=151}}</ref>

In 1893, the Supreme Council comprised Ramón Basa as president, Bonifacio as fiscal, [[José Turiano Santiago]] as secretary, Vicente Molina as treasurer and Restituto Javier, Briccio Pantas, Teodoro Gonzales. Gonzales, Plata and Diwa were councilors.<ref name=agoncillo1990p151 /> It was during Basa's term that the society organized a women's auxiliary section. Two of its initial members were [[Gregoria de Jesús]], whom Bonifacio had just married, and [[Marina Dizon]], daughter of José Dizon. It was also in 1893 when Basa and Diwa organized the provincial council of Cavite, which would later be the most successful council of the society.

The Filipino scholar Maximo Kalaw reports that Basa yielded the presidency to Bonifacio in 1894 because of a dispute over the usefulness of the initiation rites and Bonifacio's handling of the society's funds. Basa contested Bonifacio's practice of lending their funds to needy members, complete with promissory notes.<ref>{{harvnb|Kalaw|1926|p=[http://quod.lib.umich.edu/p/philamer/afj2233.0001.001/95?rgn=full+text;view=image 75]}}</ref><ref>{{Harvnb|Borromeo-Buehler|1998|pp=[https://books.google.com/books?id=RJnMSmXLvr4C&pg=PA169 169], [https://books.google.com/books?id=RJnMSmXLvr4C&pg=PA1711 171]}}</ref> Moreover, Basa refused to induct his son into the organization.

It was also in 1894 when [[Emilio Jacinto]], a nephew of Dizon who was studying law at the [[University of Santo Tomas]], joined the Katipunan. He intellectualized the society's aims and formulated the principles of the society as embodied in its primer, called ''Kartilla''. It was written in Tagalog and all recruits were required to commit it to heart before they were initiated. Jacinto would later be called the ''Brains of the Katipunan.''

At the same time, Jacinto also edited ''Kalayaan'' (Freedom), the society's official organ, but only one edition of the paper was issued; a second was prepared but never printed due to the discovery of the society. ''Kalayaan'' was published through the printing press of the Spanish newspaper ''Diario de Manila''. This printing press and its workers would later play an important role in the outbreak of the revolution.

In 1895, [[José Turiano Santiago]], a close personal friend of Bonifacio, was expelled because a coded message of the ''Katipunan'' fell into the hands of a Spanish priest teaching at the [[University of Santo Tomas]]. Since the priest was a friend of Santiago's sister, he and his half-brother Restituto Javier were suspected of betrayal, but the two would remain loyal to the ''Katipunan'' and Santiago would even join the Philippine revolutionary forces in the [[Philippine–American War]]. Jacinto replaced Santiago as secretary.

In early 1895, Bonifacio called for a meeting of the society and deposed Basa in an election that installed Bonifacio as president, Jacinto as fiscal, Santiago as secretary, Molina as secretary, [[Pío Valenzuela]] and Pantaleon Torres as physicians and Aguedo del Rosario and Doreteo Trinidad as councilors.<ref name=agoncillo1990p151-152>{{Harvnb|Agoncillo|1990|pp=151–152}}</ref>

On December 31, 1895, another election named Bonifacio as president, Jacinto as fiscal, Santiago as secretary, Molina as secretary, Pío Valenzuela and Pantaleon Torres as physicians and Aguedo del Rosario and Doreteo Trinidad as councilors.<ref name=agoncillo1990p152>{{Harvnb|Agoncillo|1990|p=152}}</ref>

The members of the Supreme Council in 1895 were Bonifacio as president, Valenzuela as fiscal and physician, Jacinto as secretary and Molina as treasurer. Enrico Pacheco, Pantaleon Torres, Balbino Florentino, Francisco Carreón and Hermenegildo Reyes were named councilors.<ref name=agoncillo1990p152 />

Eight months later, in August 1896, the fifth and last supreme council was elected to rename offices. Bonifacio was named President,<!--Supremo was never a title on its own, read the section--> Jacinto as Secretary of State, Plata as Secretary of War, Bricco Pantas as Secretary of Justice, Aguedo del Rosario as Secretary of the Interior and Enrico Pacheco as Secretary of Finance.<ref name=agoncillo1990p152 />
