"Bonifacio Day"

November 30, a date marked as red on the Philippine Calendar which signifies holiday. This holiday is exclusively for Andres Bonifacio to commemorate him as one of the National Heroes who fought for the liberation and freedom of all Filipinos and to celebrate his birthday.

The odd thing here is that all national heroes like Jose Rizal were remembered on the day of their death but Andres Bonifacio was remembered on his birthday. Strange and ironic.
In addition to the irony and strangeness of Andress Bonifacio’s life, first he is the “Supremo” (Supreme) of all the “Katipuneros” (Council) and he formed the “Kataas-taasang Kagalang-galangan Katipunan or KKK” a revolutionary organization formed to fight against the Spaniards and yet he was not proclaimed as the Philippine National Hero. Second, he was a member of the Mason, only few and educated person are eligible on that time but still he was coined as a poor man who wears farmer’s clothes with a bolo on his hand and little education. And the third, he fought for the Filipinos and yet he was executed by his fellow Filipino.

Remember Andres Bonifacio, enlighten history and forget what you have learned.
