    "Aling pag-ibig pa ang hihigit kaya sa pagkadalisay at pagkadakila gaya ng pag-ibig sa

    Tinubuang lupa Aling pag-ibig pa? Wala na nga, wala."

    One from plenty of Andres Bonifacio's wise words on his fight for Philippine Independence. A
    line from his ablaze heart that screamed freedom and nationalism which we can reflect on as we
    commemorate Bonifacio Day, the birthday of one of the Philippines' greatest heroes.

    Born on November 30 1896 in Manila, Philippines, He lived his life in poverty after his parents
    died. He did not finish his formal education and worked instead as a broker to warehouse keeper
    in order to support his five younger siblings and yet was able to educate himself through reading.
    Despite being unfortunate, he together with other members was able to reorganize the 'La Liga
    Filipina', a secret organization he joined founded by Dr. Jose Rizal, and named it "Katipunan", a
    revolutionary society that instigate a revolt against Spanish colonizers and later on became the
    movement's "Supreme" Leader.

    However, he lost the power of the presidency to Aguinaldo at a convention held in Cavite on
    March 22, 1897. He lost all the positions due to discrimination which says Bonifacio possessed
    not have enough credentials to be elected. While Aguinaldo and his force won control over some
    towns, Bonifacio tried to rein him in. which triggered his arrest. He was charged with Treason
    and sedition and was executed on May 10, 1897. He was taken out of his cell in Maragondon and
    marched to the mountains where he was shot in an unknown place. His body has never been
    found.
    Andres Bonifacio is regarded as one of the Philippine National Heroes to be commemorated on
    his very birthday because he was executed not at the hands of foreign colonizers but by his
    fellow countrymen.
    The Supremo may have had a tragic end at the very hands of his own countrymen, but it was his
    life and existence, his forming of the Katipunan which had greatly influenced the struggle for
    Philippine independence.
    Col. Lazaro Macapagal to historian Jose P. Santos, describing how he and his men killed Bonifacio
    The first published photograph/illustration of Andres Bonifacio came out in the Spanish magazine La Ilustracion Espanola y
    Americana in 1897. Photo engraving by Sampietro. This picture was labeled in Spanish, "Andres Bonifacio, President of the
    Tagalog Republic"
