Only known photograph of Bonifacio, c. 1890s. Today, November 30, 2018, marks exactly 155 years since Andres Bonifacio, the "Father of the Philippine Revolution", was born. In commemeration of this event, we Rizalines celebrate Bonifacio Day in memory of his bloodshed and patriotism. Andres Bonifacio (November 30, 1863 - May 10, 1897) was a Filipino revolutionary leader and President of the Tagalog Republic. He was also founder of the Katipunan, a society whose efforts led to Philippine independence. He fought the Spanish for his countrymen, defining what it means to be a patriot. Bonifacio is considered one of the national heroes of our nation, because he indirectly fought for what is now New Rizalia. Andres Bonifacio depicted on the $5 New Rizaline dollar (Caelus commomorative edition). Today, Andres Bonifacio is remembered in many ways in New Rizalia; with his own national holiday, a depiction in our nations currency, with a park named after him, and many more. His legacy will forever live on.
