Supremo ng Katipunan
Andres Bonifacio: Philippine Revolutionary Hero
Tula ni Andres Bonifacio
Filipino patriot Andres Bonifacio wrote this poem under the pseudonym Agapito Bagumbayan. Its title can be translated into English as “Love for One’s Homeland.”
Aling pag-ibig pa ang hihigit kaya
sa pagkadalisay at pagkadakila
gaya ng pag-ibig sa tinubuang lupa?
Aling pag-ibig pa? Wala na nga, wala.
Andrés Bonifacio (1863-1897)
Bonifacio Day is celebrated every year on November 30.
Andrés Bonifacio was born in Manila in 1863, the son of a government official. When both his parents died in the 1870s, 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.
Si Andrés Bonifacio y de Castro (30 Nobyembre 1863 – 10 Mayo 1897) ay isang Pilipinong makabayan at rebolusyonaryo na makikita sa sampumpisong barya na isyu ng Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas. Binansagan siyang “Ama ng Katipunan.” Siya ang nagtatag at lumaon naging Supremo ng kilusang Katipunan na naglayong makamtan ang kasarinlan ng Pilipinas mula sa Espanya at nagpasimula ng Himagsikang Pilipino.
