Today in Philippine History (Philatelic Edition Series 2):
JUNE 27, 1863
Ladislao Diwa y Nocon (June 27, 1863 - March 12, 1930), a patriot and one of the founders of the Katipunan, was born in San Roque, Cavite.
He studied at the Colegio de San Juan de Letran and at the University of Santo Tomas for his priesthood studies.
He decided to abandon his ecclesiastical course to pursue law.
He became friends with Teodoro Plata and worked as a clerk of court in Quiapo. He joined a council of Jose Rizal's La Liga Filipina in Tondo with Andres Bonifacio as president.
Diwa, Plata and Bonifacio decided to create a secret society in 1892 and named it Katipunan. The three of them formed the Katipunan's first triangle.
Valentin Diaz, Deodato Arellano and Jose Dizon attended the first meeting.
Ladislao Diwa was known in the Katipunan as Balete.
