I want to become ten million different things in one lifetime.
indiohistorian: When the bullet was fired 115 years ago on this day (May 10, 1897), it showed us that the Filipino race is as depraved as any other race on the face of the earth.  It is a sad fact that in our history as a people, while Filipinos were fighting for liberty against Spain, some could kill even their own for selfish ambition. The demise of the Bonifacio brothers, Andres and Procopio, sentenced to death by a one-sided Filipino tribunal on the mountains of Maragondon, Cavite in 1897 was a pure example of the depth of feudalism plaguing our country. Our leaders then were tested and were found wanting. In commemoration of the death of Andres Bonifacio, the “Ama ng Katipunan” and the one who ignited the Philippine Revolution of 1896, the first nationalist revolution in Asia. His fire was extinguished by his own fellowmen.   (Image above from La Ilustracion Espanola y Americana dated 1897)
