Andrés Bonifacio y de Castro (30 November 1863 – 10 May 1897)

Andrés Bonifacio was born in Manila in 1863, the son of a government official. When both his parents died in the 1870's, he left school to support his five brothers and sisters. By the mid-1880s, he had become a fervent Filipino nationalist. When José Rizal established the Liga Filipina in 1892, Bonifacio was one of its first members.

After the Spanish arrested Rizal in July 1892, Bonifacio decided that the Philippines would only achieve independence through revolution. On July 7, he founded the Katipunan, a secret society open to both peasants and the middle class that employed Masonic rituals to impart an air of sacred mystery. It insinuated itself into the community by setting up mutual aid societies and education for the poor. By 1896, the Katipunan had over 30,000 members and functioned at the national, provincial, and municipal levels.

Following the execution of Rizal in 1896, Bonifacio proclaimed Filipino independence on August 23, 1896. This time, the Spaniards moved against him, forcing his flight to the Marikina mountains, while other forces headed by Emilio Aguinaldo were more successful and won control over some towns. When Bonifacio tried to rein him in, Aguinaldo ordered him arrested and charged with treason and sedition. He was tried and convicted by his enemies and executed on May 10, 1897. Today he is regarded as a national hero of the Philippines.

    The Philippines also known as “The Pearl of the Orient” like all other great countries had difficult beginnings. Andres Bonifacio and Jose Rizal two of the proponents that instigated our great struggle for freedom, they who reminded us of the pride and strength of a Filipino, they who showed us that we are people who will never give up and will fight no matter what. One became the voice of the people; leading the propaganda movement that inspired the nation to fight against the tyranny and, the other became the leader of the people “The Supreme Leader” that thoroughly ignited the flames of revolution. Jose Rizal wrote and gave us hope; he preferred the pen over the sword while Andres Bonifacio gave life to that hope. He fought and bled for our freedom and instilled in our hearts, our love for our country. Well it is true that Bonifacio has somewhat got this idea of freedom from Rizal but it is Bonifacio who put it into action, what is an idea without an action? . . . action speaks louder than words of ideas. Bonifacio was not chosen as our national hero because the Americans are afraid on Bonifacio's way of liberating our country. The Americans want to colonize our country but in order to fulfill this dream there should be a man to be catapulted from below in order for us to have national hero. Our national hero serves as our idol, and as an idol we must follow his steps. The Americans chose Rizal because he is a reformist; a reformist is not a hindrance in their colonization. Since Bonifacio is a separatist, he is a thorn in their throats. Reformist seek only for reforms but separatist seek for FREEDOM!. In our eyes Andres Bonifacio is the true hero of the Philippines.…
