Ka Andres!
The man. Well, I didn’t really know him, but who does? Unless you are one of the guys he roamed around with in those times, but nahhh, you won’t be anywhere around here today! If Andres Bonifacio had lived, he should be celebrating his 142nd birthday right now! My, oh my!
Sure thing! Mr. Bonifacio, Andres was born on November 30, 1863 from a Meztiza (Filipino father and Filipino- Chinese mother) in Zambales. More can be said about Ka Andres. His life story which we, Filipinos, must have learned in our elementary years has always been a significant one. He initiated a secret society together with two more friends which varies the name: KKK (Kataastaasan Kagalang-galang na Katipunan nang mga Anak nang Bayan, or shortly called Katipunan with the sole aim of:freeing the Philippines from the rulings hands of the Spaniards, with force if needed.
Oh, so much of history. A million more facts about this man and his movement can fill a thousand more pages. They say, had Ka Andres listened to Dr. Jose Rizal(our national hero) and didn’t do his thing, then there would never have any revolution. I say, if Mr. Bonifacio just stood there quite and passive, then, he would have really failed of not trying to do what he thought would be a wiser move. Say you?
