Sweet moments with Ms. B

The man, a hero. 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 here today, would you? If Andres Bonifacio had lived, he should be celebrating his 142nd birthday on this very day! My, oh my!

Sure thing! Mr. Bonifacio, Andres was born on November 30, 1863, from a Meztiza (mixed blood) mom and Filipino dad in Zambales. More can be said about Ka Andres, but i don't think i would go over and enumerate them all here. Perhaps, some of his important tasks and achievements might be useful though. 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 carried 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. History revealed, the Philippines was under the Spanish regime for over three hundred years! Can you imagine how long that was !

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?
