A Salute To A Filipino Hero, ANDRES BONIFACIO

Andres Bonifacio
Decades ago, when the Philippines was still under the hands of some foreign lands, a group of people immerged to fight for the Philippine' freedom. It was so hard that these groups should be stealth from the governing country. Our forefathers has been on greater heights of thinking on how to gain this liberty from Caucasians and Asians who wanted to dominate us , our country, our land. But our brave race were never born to be oppressed thus fighters are we Filipinos. 

Despite of the ups and downs of these battles against the other countries migrating in our land, we are now free from the bondages of the oppressors and we are now living a democratic life in this country called The Philippines. 

THank you to our great great forefathers who runned, fight and died for this Pearl of the Orient. And as traditions go, we salute one of those forefathers whom we owe our freedom, Andres Bonifacio.

Born on this day, November 30, 1863 in Tondo, Manila, Ka Andres is the eldest of the 6 siblings born to Santiago Bonifacio and Catalina de Castro

His noble job of defending the country was enormous as this has been a part of our history. Without him leading the KKK - Kataastaasang kagalanggalangang Katipunan ng mga Anak ng Bayan ("Highest and Most Respected Society of the Children of the Country"), Jose Rizal and the other Filipino freedom fighting groups will nto be able to pursue the seek for our own freedom in this land. 

Andres Bonifacio is one great hero that every Filipino is looking upon. He was the symbol of strength and a fighter and he will always be one great Filipino citizen who died for the sake of our land. 

This day is his 147th year of birth. Sadly, he has gone but with pride as the freedom of the Philippines is one of his greatest legacy that we are always looking back. 

Ka Andres, Salamat!
