Ang respeto ko kay Gat Andres Bonifacio ay hindi nangangahulugang anti-Aguinaldo ako, gusto ko lang matuwid ang kasaysayan at mabago ang maling perception sa ama ng KKK. Ang masalimuot na kinahinatnan ng kanyang pakikibaka ay sinisimbolo ng pang araw-araw na pakikipagsapalaran ng mga ordinaryong Pilipino hanggang sa ngayon. MABUHAY ka Magdiwang! Ako at ng pamilya ko ay nanunumpa na ipagpapatuloy ang iyong mga adhikain at pagmamahal sa bayan. After the Revolution, Nakpil fell in love with and eventually married Bonifacios widow Gregoria de Jesús. They moved to Manila and raised six children, one of whom married the architect Carlos Santos-Viola. Julio continued to compose until his death in 1960. Before his death he also contributed to a book on his life that was published by his heirs in 1964. In his memoirs titled Apuntes Sobre la Revolución Filipina (Notes on the Philippine Revolution), Nakpil wrote I swear before God and before History that everything related in these notes is the truth and I entreat the historian not to publish this until after my death. On page 30 of his memoirs can be found Nakpils notes on the death of Bonifacio, and on page 130 is his account of the assassination of Antonio Luna where Nakpil wrote When General A. Luna was dastardly assassinated on the stairs of the Convent of Kabanatuan and already fallen on the ground, the mother of Emilio Aguinaldo looked out the window and asked: Ano, humihinga pa ba?(So, is he still breathing?) On pages 157-158, Nakpil wrote of Aguinaldo, Emilio Aguinaldos surrender to the Americans was a cowardly act. There was no doubt that he coveted the presidency. He surrendered for fear that others more competent than he would occupy the post of president of the Republic. Had he fought with his captors, regardless of whether he succumbed so that he might be considered a hero, at least to vindicate his crimes, by this time we would be admiring a monument to the second hero of the Philippines, unlike what he did delivering himself as prisoner and afterward taking an oath of allegiance to the American flag. The crimes he committed against Andrés Bonifacio and Antonio Luna, and his attempt to assassinate the undersigned [Julio Nakpil] should be condemned by history, and Universal Freemasonry ought to expel him and declare him a spurious son. The coward finds many dangers where none exist!
