Arroyo, Nemia P. This year being the Andres Bonifacio Centennial, why don't you take a drive to Caloocan Circle and look up at the largest statue of Manila's Hero? If this is a physical impossibility, settle for any poster or picture of it and take a good, long look. Notice anything about, his weapons? The stature shows the Great Plebeian?

It represented the united effort, will and purpose of the Filipino people to secure for themselves and their posterity the blessings of freedom and to raise their country to the status and dignity of a free and independent nation. The initial step towards this goal was taken in 1892 when Andres Bonifacio organized that year the Katipunan Society. Starting with only a handful of members, the Katipunan ng Mga Anak ng Bayan, as the Society was formally known, propagated itself gradually, although slowly at the beginning, among the Filipinos. Persons initiated into the Katipunan went through the ordeal of the "blood compact." This consisted in the initiate' s making a small incision on his arm, and with his own blood pledging his adherence to the Society and his willingness and readiness to defend it and the cause for which it stood, even at the cost of his own life .

At times he was under the tutorship of an aunt of a Tondo teacher. Journal article. Article compiled at Andres Bonifacio volume. 1962-11-01T00:00:00Z
