One name for Bonifacio's concept of the Philippine nation-state appears in surviving "Katipunan" documents: "Haring Bayang Katagalugan" ("Sovereign Nation of the Tagalog People", or "Sovereign Tagalog Nation") - sometimes shortened into "Haring Bayan" ("Sovereign Nation"). "Bayan" may be rendered as "nation" or "people". Bonifacio is named as the president of the "Tagalog Republic" in an issue of the Spanish periodical "La Ilustración Española y Americana" published in February 1897 (""Andrés Bonifacio - Titulado "Presidente" de la República Tagala""). Another name for Bonifacio's government was "Repúblika ng Katagalugan" (another form of "Tagalog Republic") as evidenced by a picture of a rebel seal published in the same periodical the next month.
