a powerful strike of his bolo and a gun powder on his side was his defense. aside from that, his enigmatic stature and his powerful mind had brought a lot of courage to his countrymen. he has been known as the great plebian and the father of revolution. who changed and built the true identity of oppressed filipinos in his times.
and yet, he had been drastically masked by the past. who is the real andres bonifacio and what lies beneath those white camisa de chino and red trousers.
according to the books that we have always been reading he was born on november 30,1986 on tondo, manila. an oppressed child and an orphaned during his times. he earned living with a lot of hardships as an abaniko vendor. he had become a messenger and used the money to buy old books. he dropped early in his school because of poverty, yet he was not dishearten by the fact. instead, this served as an inspiration to him and to uplift his siblings.
bonifacio was a member of freemasonry and la liga wherein rizal was also a member. after the deportation of rizal in dapitan, bonifacio fled and built his own organization known as the katipunan or kkk. for this, some people have said that bonifacio, and not aguinaldo, should be considered the first president for he had initiated the prime government during spanish era.
a man of honor and wit, he had his few words but always led his people to gradual change. because of this, a few people had become so envious. and at the middle of his battle, he was killed of unreasonable accused of disloyalty to the group he had built-but was taken by someone else. the sad part was, men who kiled him was his own group-his fellowmen.
until now, his body lied under the unkown land in cavite. neither of his man nor kin had found it. still, remains as a mystery.
bonifacio, a trail of our own blood.
