Senator Loren B. Legarda will lead the commemoration of the 162nd birth anniversary of Andres Bonifacio on 30 November 2025, 8:00 AM at the Bonifacio National Monument, Caloocan City. She will be joined by NHCP Chairperson Regalado Trota Jose Jr., AFP Chief of Staff General Romeo S. Brawner, Representative Oscar G. Malapitan of the 1st District of Caloocan, Representative Edgar R. Erice of the 2nd District of Caloocan, Representative Dean Asistio of the 3rd District of Caloocan, Caloocan City Mayor Dale Gonzalo Malapitan, Caloocan City Vice-Mayor Karina Teh-Limsico and descendant of the hero, Atty. Arsenio Bonifacio.
With the theme: βIsang Bayan, Isang Laban: Katapatan at Katarungan Kontra Katiwalian,β the commemoration serves to call on Filipinos to stand together in the fight for truth and justice, especially in these trying times.
Wreaths were also offered in other monuments to Bonifacio in his birthplace in Tutuban Center, Manila; Pinaglabanan Memorial Shrine in San Juan City; Cloverleaf in Quezon City; and Bonifacio Global City in Taguig City.
Andres Bonifacio is one of the Philippinesβ national heroes. He co-founded the Kataas-taasan, Kagalang-galangan, Katipunan ng mga anak ng Bayan or the K*K in 1892 and later became the leader of this underground organization that sought to liberate the country from Spanish colonial rule. The movement initiated the Filipino Revolution then and ultimately won Philippine independence from Spain in 1898.
Created through Act No. 2946 approved on 16 February 1921, Bonifacio Day is the second-oldest history-based national holiday following Rizal Day which was created by a decree of President Emilio Aguinaldo on 20 December 1898. For a long time, it was also celebrated as National Heroes Day until it was scheduled separately through another legislative act in 1931.
