    Reflection paper on the execution of Andres Bonifacio and

    his brother Procopio

    On May 10, 1897, Andres Bonifacio, the Father of the


    Philippine Revolution, and founder of the Katipunan, and his
    brother Procopio were executed in the mountains of
    Maragondon, Cavite by General Emilio Aguinaldo's men for
    being guilty of treason and sedition. This occurred after the death
    sentence was commuted to indefinite exile by Aguinaldo.

    Since the time the Katipunan was discovered, the rivalry


    between the Magdalo and the Magdiwang factions of Katipunan
    in Cavite led to a series of reverses. This prompted the Magdalo
    faction to invite Bonifacio to Cavite to settle their differences and
    remain united.

    On March 22,1897, an assembly was called at Tejeros, Cavite.


    Bonifacio presided the conference to establish the Republic of
    the Philippines. In the election, Gen. Aguinaldo was elected
    President, Mariano Trias, Vice President, and Bonifacio as
    Secretary of the Interior.

    Bonifacio, who acceded to the wish to establish a new


    government, was hurt and felt insulted when Daniel Tirona, one
    of Magdalo questioned his new position noting it was not proper
    for a person without a lawyer's diploma to occupy it.

    Notedly, orphaned at the age of 14, Bonifacio had to take on the


    task of caring for his younger brothers and sisters, being the
    eldest of six children. He quit schooling to look for ways to
    support his family.

    Hence, evoking his authority as the Supreme head of the


    Katipunan, he declared the proceedings void. Bonifacio moved to
    Naic, Cavite and started to form his own government and army.
    Bonifacio, with his family and men, left Naic for Indang on his
    way to return to Montalban. Aguinaldo sent men to arrest him,
    but Bonifacio resisted arrest and was wounded in the process.

    He faced a trial for acts inimical to the existence of the new


    government and was given the death sentence by a military
    tribunal which was commuted to indefinite exile.

    Bonifacio died at the age of 33.

    1. White triangle - The white triangle at the flag


    represents liberty, equality, and fraternity.

    2. Three stars - The three stars represent the three Grand


    Divisions of the state, East Tennessee, Middle Tennessee,
    and West Tennessee. All three divisions are sharply
    contrasting geographical divisions as well as culturally and
    economically distinct.

    3. Eight rays of the sun - The 8 rays represented the first 8


    provinces that courageously defied and revolted against the
    Spaniards – Manila, Cavite, Bulacan, Pampanga, Tarlac,
    Batangas, Laguna and Nueva Ecija.

    4. Color blue, red, and white -  A white equilateral triangle is


    based on the hoist side of the flag. The blue color stands
    for peace, justice, sacrifice, and truth. The red color
    symbolizes bravery, courage, and patriotism.
