Today in Philippine History (Philatelic Edition Series 2):
AUGUST 28, 1896
Andres Bonifacio issued the manifesto Katipunang Mararahas ng mga Anak ng Bayan (Society of Enraged Sons of the Country). This general proclamation called for all towns to rise and simultaneously attack Manila on August 29, 1896.
He sent generals to lead this offensive against the Spanish authorities. The manifesto also warned that those who will obstruct the ideals of the people shall be considered as traitors and enemies of the cause and be tried according to the regulations that are put in force.
The stamp included here is the Bonifacio Monument done by National Artist Guillermo Tolentino and is found in Grace Park, Caloocan City.
This memorial is dedicated to Katipunan Supremo Andres Bonifacio. Work on the monument began on November 30, 1929 and was finished on November 30, 1933.
