Andrés Bonifacio y de Castro (Tagalog: [anˈdɾes (anˈdɾez-) bonɪˈfaʃo], Spanish: [anˈdɾes βoniˈfaθjo]; [2] November 30, 1863 – May 10, 1897) was a Filipino revolutionary leader. He is often called "The Father of the Philippine Revolution", and considered a national hero of the Philippines. [3] [4] [5]
Since the start of the revolution, the city of Manila, and specifically its walled center Intramuros, was the primary target of El Supremo Andres Bonifacio and his Katipuneros. [ citation needed ] The takeover of Intramuros had been a logical move for any uprising trying to overthrow the Spanish colonial regime in the Philippines.
The Philippine Revolution (Filipino: Himagsikang Pilipino or Rebolusyong Pilipino; Spanish: Revolución Filipina or Guerra Tagala) [7] was a war of independence waged by the revolutionary organization Katipunan against the Spanish Empire from 1896 to 1898.
Rizal is later arrested after the Spanish authorities uncover the organization. Bonifacio then decides to form the Katipunan to lead a revolution against the Spanish colonizers. With the help of his friend Teodoro Plata, he meets Gregoria de Jesús, who is also known as Bantug and Oriang. Bonifacio visits the church, meeting Bantug again.
The Bolo knife was the primary weapon used by the Katipunan during the Philippine Revolution. [18] It was also used by the Filipino guerrillas and bolomen during the Philippine–American War. [19] [20] the bolo serves as a symbol for the Katipunan and the Philippine Revolution, particularly the Cry of Pugad Lawin.
The Cry of Pugad Lawin (Filipino: Sigaw sa Pugad Lawin, Spanish: Grito de Pugad Lawin) was the beginning of the Philippine Revolution against the Spanish Empire. [1]In late August 1896, members of the Katipunan [a] led by Andrés Bonifacio revolted somewhere around Caloocan, which included parts of the present-day Quezon City.
On July 25, 1987, former President Corazon C. Aquino signed Executive Order 292 which declared the last Sunday of August each year as a public holiday in the Philippines. This commemorates the Cry of Pugad Lawin and the start of the Philippine Revolution. [11] In 1974, the Pinaglabanan Shrine was unveiled in San Juan, along Pinaglabanan Street.
Historians believe that the monument was the first memorial dedicated to Andrés Bonifacio and his revolutionaries preceding the 1933 Bonifacio Monument. The monument is dedicated to the Philippine Revolution, particularly the Cry of Pugadlawin. [4]
