Naik Military Agreement
sunduang Militar sa Bayan ng NaikWe who sign this below with our true names, all leaders of the Army convened at a meeting presided over by the Supreme President to discuss the critical situation of the pueblos and the revolution; having discerned that certain chiefs have committed Treason by destroying the strength that comes from unity, by coming to an agreement with the Spanish enemy and deceiving the soldiers, and also by neglecting to tend to the wounded, it is therefore our resolve to rescue the people from this grave danger by the following means:
- First: all troops shall be unified, by persuasion or force, under the command of General Pio del Pilar.
- Second: we shall recognize no authority other than reason, and all the loyal leaders who from the outset and until now have been seen not to have committed Treason or turned their backs on their sworn duty.
- Third: whoever commits treason shall immediately merit the ultimate punishment.
This is our agreement, and we swear before God and the country of our birth not to betray it unto the grave.

The Katipunan, officially known as the Kataastaasang Kagalanggalangang Katipunan ng mga Anak ng Bayan and abbreviated as the KKK, was a revolutionary organization founded in 1892 by a group of Filipino nationalists Deodato Arellano, Andrés Bonifacio, Valentin Diaz, Ladislao Diwa, José Dizon, and Teodoro Plata. Its primary objective was achieving independence from the Spanish Empire through an armed revolution. It was formed as a secret society before its eventual discovery by Spanish authorities in August 1896. This discovery led to the start of the Philippine Revolution.

The Philippine Revolution was a war of independence waged by the revolutionary organization Katipunan against the Spanish Empire from 1896 to 1898. It was the culmination of the 333-year colonial rule of Spain in the archipelago. The Philippines was one of the last major colonies of the Spanish Empire, which had already suffered a massive decline in the 1820s. Cuba rebelled in 1895, and in 1898, the United States intervened and the Spanish soon capitulated. In June, Philippine revolutionaries declared independence. However, it was not recognized by Spain, which sold the islands to the United States in the Treaty of Paris.

The Acta de Tejeros was a document prepared on March 23, 1897 which proclaimed the events at the Tejeros Convention on March 22 to have been disorderly and tarnished by chicanery.

This and the later Naic Military Agreement repudiating the Tejeros Convention results would later cost Andres Bonifacio his life. He would be tried for treason at Maragondon, Cavite on May 10, 1897 and sentenced to death.
