A list of heroes

Yesterday, November 30, was Bonifacio day – a day set aside each year to honor a person recognized as a national hero. Andres Bonifacio, called the Father of the Katipunan, is a name synonymous with the proverbial “matapang na tao” – the Brave Man. We guess the label came from that image of him passed on from generation to generation of Filipinos: That of a bolo-wielding warrior who feared none – not even a colonizing force which had superior arms and superior military know-how.
