159th Bonifacio Day
November 30, 2022 PLMun Comm

The Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Muntinlupa (PLMun) joins the
nation in commemorating the 159th birth anniversary of Andres Bonifacio.
Bonifacio Day is a national public holiday in the
Philippines celebrated every 30th of November to remember the birth anniversary
of one of the country’s heroes, Andres Bonifacio. He was born on November 30,
1863. He was one of the founders of a secret society of revolutionaries
commonly known as the Katipunan. Acknowledged as the ‘Father of the Philippine
Revolution,’ he initiated the Philippine revolution against the Spanish Empire.
Bonifacio is remembered on his birthday, rather than the date of his death (as in the case of the main national hero, José Rizal) as he was executed by the Filipino revolutionary government and not by the Spanish.
Up to this day, Andres Bonifacio's life is celebrated and commemorated for his bravery and love for his country. He remains an inspiration, in his life struggles and achievements as one of our nation's heroes.
