After the Mutiny, he would meet up with the rest of the Katipuneros. after he meet up he would quickly rush back to Kawit and Noveleta to assist their Uprising and fully boot the Spanish Colonial troops within the Province of Cavite. A few weeks after, he would be fortifying the defenses within Neuva Ecija although it's seen as a Filipino Victory this isn't the case since the Spanish occupied major key areas within Neuva Ecijija which cause them to fight the Spanish in Guerilla warfare.

### Post Revolutionary Era

After the Signing of the Treaty of Tejeros, there would be a Convention held in the same area. This caused a nationwide rivalry with what was formerly the Katipunan splitting into two factions: Magdiwang and Magdalo. Magdalo followed the ideas of expanded nationalism, an open and free market economy as well as a “guided republic” (essentially a dictatorship) under the wing of Francisco Rizal and Carlos Aguinaldo y Jamir. Magdiwang on the other hand believed that the state should have a similar system as a constitutional monarchy, however a Lord Protector-esque type of head of state instead of a monarch. This faction consisted of combined conservatives, liberals, centrists, and clergy in the national assembly. This would be dominantly led by **Mariano Alvarez** and Joaquin Luna, Narcisco's brother. With the unclear results of the Tejeros Convention, Carlos Aguinaldo would launch a "Cleansing Operation" this would cause many of the **Magdiwang and pro-Bonifacio high-ranking officials** either get kidnapped or assassinated even the Founder the Katipunan was poisoned during his sleep. This rivalry would continue for three months, it wouldn’t help with the fact that the economy was crumbling and agriculturally dwindling.
