Magdalo (faction)

The Magdalo faction of the Katipunan chapter in Cavite. A Philippine revolutionary organization with the aim to gain independence from Spain during the Philippine Revolution. It was named after Mary Magdalene, patroness of Kawit, Cavite. It was officially led by Baldomero Aguinaldo, but his cousin Emilio Aguinaldo (whose own Katipunan codename was "Magdalo") was its most famous leader. Some of the civil and military officials of the First Philippine Republic came from this group.
