Good Morning From Manila! House Bill No.3431 was recently filed declaring Andres Bonifacio as the National Hero instead of Dr. Jose Rizal. Are you in favor to such move? Or its just a plain lunacy? Rizal advocated peace and education and used his writings to bring change. Bonifacio advocated revolution and founded the Katipunan to revolt against the Spanish colonization that led to Philippine independence. Rizal used his pen to inspire Filipinos to rise against Spain but Bonifacio used not only his pen but included action that catalyzed revolution against the oppressive Spain. Rizal the idealist. Bonifacio the activist. The rich guy. The poor guy. Rizal was never been explicitly proclaimed as a National Hero by the Philippine government. It was the Americans who proclaimed him as the national hero because Bonifacio was an activist whose radical ideas could inspire resistance to American rule. Rizal or Bonifacio? Bonifacio o Rizal? Sino ang pipiliin mo? Please read more of my comments or read todays Manila Newspapers Headlines by clicking the link below: palawanboracay/?p=1761
