Since the time the Katipunan was discovered, the rivalry between the Magdalo and the Magdiwang factions of Katipunan in Cavite 

led to a series of reverses. This prompted the Magdalo faction to invite Bonifacio to Cavite to settle their differences and remain united.

On March 22,1897, an assembly was called at Tejeros, Cavite. Bonifacio presided the conference to establish the Republic of the Philippines. In the election, Gen. Aguinaldo was elected President, Mariano Trias, Vice President, and Bonifacio as Secretary of the Interior.

Bonifacio, who acceded to the wish to establish a new government, was hurt and felt insulted when Daniel Tirona, one of Magdalo questioned his new position noting it was not proper for a person without a lawyer's diploma to occupy it.

Notedly, orphaned at the age of 14, Bonifacio had to take on the task of caring for his younger brothers and sisters, being the 

eldest of six children. He quit schooling to look for ways to support his family.
