Katipunan Member’s Identity Based on Outfit


The KKK involves three ranks of membership:

  1. Katipon,

  3. Bayani.


Similar to today’s military uniform in the Philippine Army, part of the Katipunan member’s clothing indicates their rank in the organization.

The Katipon (member) wears a black hood that is marked by a white triangle-shaped robbin with letters Z, Ll, and B inside.
