Ika-128- Anibersaryo ng Pagbitay sa Supremo


Unang Mga Balita sa Masamang Sinapit ni Bonifacio
Noong Mayo 10, 1897, binitay si Supremo Andrés Bonifacio ng sariling pamahalaang Pilipino na pinamumunuan ni Pangulong Emilio Aguinaldo. Sa panahong iyon, hindi agad nalaman sa Maynila ang totoong sinapit ng Supremo. Gayunman, sa mga kumalat na balita, nabanggit na mayroong hidwaan sa pagitan ng panig ni Aguinaldo at ni Bonifacio. Narito ang isang ulat mula sa isang pahayagan sa Sevilla, Espanya, na may petsang ika-15 ng Mayo, 1897, na nagbabalita hinggil sa naturang pangyayari:
"Ang nasabing katutubo ay isa sa mga huling empleyado ng kompanyang Fessell, ngunit inihalal ng mga kasapi ng Katipunan upang gampanan ang tungkulin bilang pangulo ng konseho.
Ang iba pang mga ministro ay may kaparehong kalagayan at hindi rin higit ang taglay na katalinuhan, kaya’t maaaring ipagpalagay na ang tinatawag na pamahalaan ay isa lamang pantabing na ginagamit upang pagtakpan ang mga tunay na pinuno ng kilusang insurrekto.

May be an illustration of ‎1 person and ‎text that says '‎EDICION DE LA Andrés Bonifacio indigena, Fresset! vida a3 compañfa. katipunan las funciones menos igual do no alta into- ligenoia eran los comás Esto pretendido gobierno que para jefes dol movimiento insu- años Andrés Bonitacio tiene distinguido jamás por su valor.

Si Andrés Bonifacio, na may 24 na taong gulang, ay kailanma’y hindi pa nakilala sa kanyang talino o tapang. Mula nang siya’y sumapi sa kampo ng mga insurrecto, kakaunti lamang ang kanyang naiambag at, sa halip, ay naging sagabal pa sa kanyang mga kasama.
Tatlong araw na ang nakararaan, ipinahayag sa telegrama na may sumiklab na hidwaan sa loob ng kampo sa pagitan ni Bonifacio at ng generalissimo na si Aguinaldo. Si Bonifacio, na noon ay tila may hawak ng pamumunong sibil ng mga insurrecto, ay umano’y nasugatan ni Aguinaldo at napilitang umatras sa mga bulubunduking bahagi ng isla. Naiwan si Aguinaldo bilang tagapamuno ng kataas-taasang pamahalaan—ngunit hindi rin niya matagumpay na naisakatuparan ang tungkuling ito, batay sa mga kabiguang sinapit ng hukbong Katipunan."
~~Makikita sa balita ang pagka baluktot at pagka "one sided" ng mga impormasyong hinahayag. Natural lang ito sa panahong nasabi. Limang araw pa lamang ang lumipas matapos ang pagkakabitay sa Supremo, lumabas ang balita na siya ay sugatan at nag tatago.
Sa pangalawa naman reportahe may petsang ika 17 ng Junio 1897, ng El Regional ay binabangit ang mga pangungusap na:
"Tiniyak na namatay na ang pinunong si Bonifacio, na tumatawag sa sarili bilang "Hari ng Pilipinas."
~~Samakatuwid, nalaman na rin pala sa Espanya ang bansag kay Supremo Andrés Bonifacio bilang "Pangulo ng Haring Bayang Katagalugan." Maaaring nagmadali rin sila sa pagbibigay ng angkop na salin. Sa huli, masasabi na pagsapit ng Hunyo 1897, nabuo na sa mga ulat at impormasyong nakalap ng mga Kastila ang balitang patay na ang Supremo. Bagamat hindi ganap na malinaw, tila may hawak din silang balita na ang pagkamatay niya ay bunga ng hidwaan sa pagitan niya at ni Aguinaldo.
Pag ala-ala sa isang dakilang Pilipino, Andres Bonifacio!

Father Francisco de Paula Sanchez: Rizal's Batman

Image
   Father Francisco de Paula Sanchez (1849-1928) Father Francisco de Paula Sanchez, a Spanish Jesuit, held a special place in Rizal's heart as his favorite teacher at Ateneo, where the priest taught Literature. It was under Fr. Sanchez's guidance that the young Rizal delved into the treasures of Greek and Latin Classics. The priest's encouragement led Rizal to hone his literary talents, engaging in the crafting of essays and poetry. The relationship between mentor and student was characterized by mutual respect and admiration. Father Sanchez even staunchly defended Rizal's work, 'Noli Me Tangere.' However, in a letter to Blumentritt dated May 1890, Rizal shared a nuanced description of the priest: "Father Sanchez is a keen observer, albeit somewhat pessimistic, often inclined to view the darker aspects of life. During our school days, he was often playfully referred to as a 'dark spirit,' and students affectionately nicknamed him 'Paniki,' a...

Jose Rizal's Bomb Plot

Image
Victorian lamp The Plot Even before international terrorists adopted the horrific tactics of suicide bombers and bomb couriers in their campaigns of vengeance, Philippine national hero José Rizal conceived a plot in his novel El Filibusterismo that involved a catastrophic explosion to ignite a revolution. In Chapters 34 and 35, Simoun arrives at the wedding reception of Juanito Pelaez and Paulita Gomez bearing a seemingly innocuous gift – a lamp. However, concealed within it is a potent explosive: nitroglycerin. The reception takes place at the former residence of the deceased Captain Tiago, which Simoun has meticulously rigged with explosives beforehand. According to his plan, the lamp will remain lit for only twenty minutes before flickering. If anyone attempts to adjust the wick, a catastrophic explosion will ensue, claiming the lives of all those gathered – a significant portion of Manila's elite, including prominent figures from both civil society and the church hierarch...

Pinagbuhatan Fiesta -- San Sebastián

Image
Every year on January 20, the typically monotonous streets of Barangay Pinagbuhatan in the City of Pasig transform themselves into a vibrant place of merrymaking and festivities. The focal point of the Mardi Gras-like atmosphere in the barangay is always the parish church, as January 20 marks the feast day of its revered patron saint—San Sebastian. "Viva San Sebastian!" At the break of dawn on the said day, brass bands parade the streets, as if calling the people to start the festivities—the traditional early morning rounds called "djana" (or diana to some bands). Now and then, that heroic sound of martial music would be broken by the distant sounds of exploding fireworks. The formal celebration starts with the morning mass officiated by the parish priest. In truth, the building excitement would not be found inside the church where mass is being held but instead outside. In the church grounds, the brewing festivities heat up. People gather outside, young and old ali...
