Interview with Atty. Gregorio Gary Bonifacio
“Andres Bonifacio’s mother was a mestiza, of Spanish origin,” – explains relative
Finally! It took me twelve months to meet a direct descendant of Procopio Bonifacio, the brother of Andres Bonifacio. Last year, I was able to interview their other relatives from the line of Espiridiona “Nonay” Bonifacio. But it took me a year to finally meet and talk with the only lawyer within the clan who came from the siblings who joined the Philippine Revolution (because not all of their family members did). Andres Bonifacio didn’t have any known descendant, so it currently leaves us to talk with those who came from his siblings. So far, Attorney Gary Bonifacio is the one who has been interviewed several times already about the late hero.
( Related Blog: Bonifacio’s relative speaks – part 1 )
“It’s quite wrong to say it often that Andres Bonifacio came from a very poor family,” explains Attorney Gary. “His mother was a mestiza, of Spanish origin. He came from the middle class.”
A source would say that his father was a teniente mayor (Chief Lieutenant) in the Spanish Colonial Government. While, another would claim that his maternal grandparents are Spanish (grandfather) and Filipino-Chinese (grandmother).
Gary points out to the nose and ears of Andres Bonifacio. The nose was pointed and his ears were quite bigger compared to the average Filipino during that time.
This would somehow explain Bonifacio’s capacity to read and understand Spanish plus a little of English as he was self-studying while working. All of these are pointing out that Andres Bonifacio could’ve been from a middle class origin. He wasn’t entirely impoverished from the beginning.
When asked about the Katipunan, Attorney Gary explained that it was a national movement. Before that, Filipinos revolted by regions or by their class. However, the Katipunan was a movement whose members are from Luzon to Mindanao ranging from the lower to the upper class of society.
(Related Blog: Bonifacio’s relative speaks – PART 2 )
“There are documents from the Archivo Militar de Madrid that came only in 2013 that even suggest that the Katipunan was more than that,” added Gary. “Some historians may find it hard to believe that it could’ve been a government already. In the documents from the Archivo, the Katipuna even has rules on citizenship, on who can be considered a Filipino. I’m part of the movement that wishes to have Andres Bonifacio acknowledged as president.”
On this part, I clarified if he wanted Bonifacio to be acknowledged as “First President.”
Gary replied, “He could be considered as a Revolutionary President.”
There are laws that acknowledge the existence and powers of a “Revolutionary President” and it is different from the plain term “President.” A Revolutionary President can also have the authority to shape legislation and other responsibilities of a Political Leader, whether appointed or elected.
Is there any politician in their family?
“So far, as to what I know, there are none. Because the Bonifacios hid themselves. Espiridiona (Bonifacio) appeared in public a few times, but then she would (shy away),” Gary explained. “In fact, in the lines of Procopio and Espiridiona, I’m the only lawyer. Besides me, there are no other descendant who has achieved thus in terms of education. I know there is a nurse and two who went to the military and the police. We have a dentist, but no doctor.”
“How about Engr. Edgardo Bonifacio from Novaliches?” I asked.
“Oh, he’s from the line of Andres and Procopio’s cousins. Today, they have a company.”
Gary Bonifacio currently serves at the COMELEC office at the 3rd District of Manila. After Andres and Procopio Bonifacio were killed, the rest of the family hid themselves. They didn’t even know each other until Manila City Mayor Alfredo Lim organized a get-together for them.
Gary finished his undergraduate in Philosophy at the University of the Philippines (UP). Before that, he was enrolled as a Political Science student at the Polytechnic University of the Philippines (PUP) for one year. After graduating from his undergrad, he enrolled in San Sebastian College of Law in Manila. He admits to be a descendant of a “love child” between Procopio Bonifacio and a woman who was in Mindoro when Procopio was already helping the Revolution.
It wasn’t only after decades of Andres Bonifacio’s death when other relatives showed up because of the fear of what may happen next.
Many thanks to Mrs. Marilou “Ninang” Chua and Sir Aldwin from COMELEC for assisting me so that I may interview Attorney Gary Bonifacio in person.

SUMMARY
=======
The Philippines ( (listen) FIL-ə-peenz; Filipino: Pilipinas [ˌpɪlɪˈpinɐs] or Filipinas [ˌfɪlɪˈpinɐs]), officially the Republic of the Philippines (Filipino: Republika ng Pilipinas), is an archipelagic country in Southeast Asia. Situated in the western Pacific Ocean, it consists of about 7,641 islands that are categorized broadly under three main geographical divisions from north to south: Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. The capital city of the Philippines is Manila and the most populous city is Quezon City, both part of Metro Manila. Bounded by the South China Sea on the west, the Philippine Sea on the east and the Celebes Sea on the southwest, the Philippines shares maritime borders with Taiwan to the north, Vietnam to the west, Palau to the east and Malaysia and Indonesia to the south.
The Philippines' location on the Pacific Ring of Fire and close to the equator makes the Philippines prone to earthquakes and typhoons, but also endows it with abundant natural resources and some of the world's greatest biodiversity. The Philippines has an area of 300,000 km2 (120,000 sq mi), according to the Philippines Statistical Authority and the WorldBank and, as of 2015, had a population of at least 100 million. As of January 2018, it was the eighth-most populated country in Asia and the 12th most populated country in the world. Approximately 10 million additional Filipinos lived overseas, comprising one of the world's largest diasporas. Multiple ethnicities and cultures are found throughout the islands. In prehistoric times, Negritos were some of the archipelago's earliest inhabitants. They were followed by successive waves of Austronesian peoples. Exchanges with Chinese, Malay, and Indian nations occurred. Then, various competing maritime states were established under the rule of datus, rajahs, sultans or lakans.
The arrival of Ferdinand Magellan, a Portuguese explorer leading a fleet for the Spanish, in Homonhon, Eastern Samar in 1521 marked the beginning of Hispanic colonization. In 1543, Spanish explorer Ruy López de Villalobos named the archipelago Las Islas Filipinas in honor of Philip II of Spain. With the arrival of Miguel López de Legazpi from Mexico City, in 1565, the first Hispanic settlement in the archipelago was established. The Philippines became part of the Spanish Empire for more than 300 years. This resulted in Catholicism becoming the dominant religion. During this time, Manila became the western hub of the trans-Pacific trade connecting Asia with Acapulco in the Americas using Manila galleons.As the 19th century gave way to the 20th, the Philippine Revolution quickly followed, which then spawned the short-lived First Philippine Republic, followed by the bloody Philippine–American War. Aside from the period of Japanese occupation, the United States retained sovereignty over the islands until after World War II, when the Philippines was recognized as an independent nation. Since then, the unitary sovereign state has often had a tumultuous experience with democracy, which included the overthrow of a dictatorship by a non-violent revolution.It is a founding member of the United Nations, World Trade Organization, Association of Southeast Asian Nations, the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum, and the East Asia Summit. It also hosts the headquarters of the Asian Development Bank. The Philippines is considered to be an emerging market and a newly industrialized country, which has an economy transitioning from being based on agriculture to one based more on services and manufacturing. Along with East Timor, the Philippines is one of Southeast Asia's predominantly Christian nations.

SUMMARY
=======
Valenzuela, , Tagalog: [ˌbɐlenswelɐ, ˌbɐlensuwelɐʔ], officially the City of Valenzuela, (Tagalog: Lungsod ng Valenzuela), or simply known as Valenzuela City, is a 1st class highly urbanized city in Metro Manila, Philippines. According to the 2015 census, it has a population of 620,422 people, making it as the 13th most populous city in the Philippines.It is the 119th largest city in the country located at about 14 kilometres (8.7 mi) north of the capital city of Manila. Valenzuela is categorized under Republic Act Nos. 7160 and 8526 as a highly urbanized, first-class city based on income classification and number of population. A landlocked chartered city located on the island of Luzon, it is bordered by the province of Bulacan, and cities of Caloocan, Malabon and Quezon City. Valenzuela shares border and access to Tenejeros-Tullahan River with Malabon. It has a total land area of 45.75 square kilometers, where its residents are composed of about 72% Tagalog people followed by 5% Bicolanos with a small percentage of foreign nationals.
Valenzuela was named after Pío Valenzuela, a physician and a member of the Katipunan, a secret society founded against the colonial government of Spain. The city, as a town, was originally called as Polo, initially formed in 1621 after separation from Meycauayan, Bulacan. The Battle of Malinta of the Philippine–American War was fought in Polo in 1899. In 1960, President Carlos P. Garcia ordered the split of Polo's southern barangays to form another town named as Valenzuela. The split was revoked by President Diosdado Macapagal in 1963 after political disagreements and the new merged town was named Valenzuela. The modern-day Valenzuela with its borders was chartered in 1998.
Owing to the cross migration of people across the country and its location as the northernmost point of Metro Manila, Valenzuela has developed into a multicultural metropolis. A former agricultural rural area, Valenzuela has grown into a major economic and industrial center of the Philippines when a large number of industries relocated to the central parts of the city.
Emilio Aguinaldo
Emilio Famy Aguinaldo QSC PLH (22 March 1869 – 6 February 1964) is the First Revolutionary President of the Philippines (1899-1901) and led Philippine forces first against Spain in the latter part of the Philippine Revolution (1896-1897), and then in the Spanish-American War (1898), and finally against the United States during the Philippine-American War (1899-1901). He was captured in 1901. In 1935 Aguinaldo ran unsuccessfully for president of the Philippine Commonwealth against Manuel Quezon. After the Japanese invasion of the Philippines in 1941, he cooperated with the new rulers, even making a radio appeal for the surrender of the American and Filipino forces on Bataan. He was arrested as a collaborationist after the Americans returned but was later freed in a general amnesty. He explained his action by saying, I was just remembering the fight I led. We were outnumbered, too, in constant retreat. I saw my own soldiers die without affecting future events. To me that seemed to be what was happening on Bataan, and it seemed like a good thing to stop.

SUMMARY
=======
The Philippine presidential and vice presidential elections of 2016 was held on Monday, May 9, 2016, as part of the 2016 general election. This was the 16th presidential election in the Philippines since 1935 and the sixth sextennial presidential election since 1986.
Incumbent president Benigno Aquino III was ineligible for re-election, pursuant to the 1987 Philippine Constitution. Therefore, this election determined the 16th President. The position of president and vice president are elected separately, thus the two winning candidates could come from different political parties.
Rodrigo Duterte led the preliminary count with 38.5% of the vote. The Congress met in late May to canvass the results and issued an official result with Rodrigo Duterte and Leni Robredo emerging as the winners of the presidential and vice presidential races, respectively. They were proclaimed on May 30, in the House of Representatives.
