Wazzup Pilipinas!
It's has been long overdue! Wag ng magpatumpik tumpik pa! Give credit to whom credit is due. It's about time. This has been long delayed.
Kung nanonood kayo ng mga documentaries at "Katipunan" sa GMA 7, malamang ay maiintindihan ninyo kung bakit may ganyang usapan na gawing unang presidente si Gat Andres Bonifacio. Kung may pagpapahalaga ka sa pagbabago at hindi basta-basta stagnant, malamang maiintindihan mo ang kahalagahan nito. Nang dahil sa programang "Katipunan" ay marami tayong nalaman tungkol sa buhay ni Andres Bonifacio at may resolution pa na sinusulong na kilalanin siyang naging unang presidente ng Pilipinas.
However, this may lead to a lot of confusion because historians would need to rewrite so many history books, including textbooks from elementary up to college reference books. However, if there are verified historical documents and other evidences then history should and must be corrected. We do not know yet what would be the impact or effect to the Filipino society yet "Dapat lang talagang itama." Worrying about the possible costs it will require to correct our history is stupid.
Andres Bonifacio was the very first and only legitimate President of the Commonwealth. We could even say the Emilio Aguinaldo secession was not a succession. Neither it respects the very law of succession in a government. Aguinaldo was a dictator - a presumptive con-president that not even a monarchy would manifest in favor to his political warmongers and crimes.
Bonifacio was left behind the scene due to: 1. Aguinaldo's ambition to govern the new found Tagalog government; 2. political discrimination; 3. education of his men and the masses (shallow and selective education); 4. inferiority complex; and 5. corruption
Title pala dapat ng history books natin eh: The Philippine History ( Draft Form and Editable) based on rumors. Ahaha! What we should have is the establishment of a History Commission - whose function is to compile, investigate history entries so that it will be based on facts not rumors . The lawmakers must have ran out of streets to rename, now they are into revising historical facts. Our history is so distorted! Ang hirap nang paniwalaan kung ano ang totoo. Ibig sabihin lahat ng pinag-aralan at pinag-aaralan ay puro tsismis?
Though there is an unverifiable rumor that our history have some facts hidden by our trusted historians. They say that the Katipunan is a masonic movement who fights against the Spanish friars who didn't recognize the movement. Most recognized national heroes of ours are members of masonic orders and benefited during Spanish regime became scholars, professional and generals. Only when the Americans came that the revolution started.
We already have115 years of independence and yet we are still politically immature. We could not change the present situation of our country by changing our history; unless all traditional politician will back off from their personal interest upon legislating or serving.
The right first president was Andres Bonifacio not Emilio Aguinaldo. They say that when Aguinaldo knew that Bonifacio will win, he ordered the assassination of Bonifacio through his Gen. Artemio Ricarte.
Pero ang Andres Bonifacio "atapang a tao" ay sapat nang dahilan upang magtanong tayo at saliksikin kung bakit may ganoong bansag siya. Sa pagkilos na ito, higit nating makikita ang napakalaking pagmamahal niya sa Bayan, higit pa sa kanyang sarili. Kung tutuusin hindi dahil sa gusto niyang maging Pangulo kaya isinulong niya ang rebolusyon; ito ay dahil sa nakikita niyang inaapi ang kanyang kapwa Filipino.
It will be a morality changing legislation that will bring back the sense of heroism among our law makers. Biruin mo kikilalanin nila ang isang Andres Bonifacio na Unang Pangulo na namatay dahil pinanghahawakan niya ang dangal ng kanyang pagkapangulo. Sino kaya ang hindi mahihiyang gumawa ng pagnanakaw?
It would be hard on the Aguinaldo's of Cavite, but its about time we correct what is wrong and put Bonifacio where he truly deserve to be in the pages of Philippine history. He should even be declared our national hero for he really wanted us to be independent from Spain unlike Rizal who only wanted equal rights between Spaniards and Filipinos.
Sana ma-approve. Doing so will make the beginning of our political history in the right direction with Bonifacio as the first president. With Aguinaldo as the first president, one would normally think: "Ito ba ang simula ng republika namin - ganid at corrupt kaagad?"
Connected ito sa sistema ng gobyerno natin ngayon kasi kahit madami hindi diyan maniwala. Si Aguinaldo kasi ang unang kurakot na presidente (based sa aking sariling pagri-research). Kaya ano pa ine-expect ninyo kung ang mismong unang kinilalang presidente ay siya mismong unang "kurap". Buti na lang may papalit na sa trono niya.Sang-ayon ako rito, ngunit napansin ninyo ba na lahat ng may-akda ng panukalang batas na ito ay mga kinatawan ng mga partylist na kasapi ng National Democratic Front (alam niyo yung CPP-NPA-NDF di ba? yon)? Some, if not most of the member groups of NDF consider Bonifacio as the first communist, at kinokonekta pa nila yung pulang watawat ng KKK sa hammer and sickle flag ng CPP.
Maganda iyan para ma-korek ang history ng Pilipinas. Correction of history is not bad at all. Read our history - analyze it. Too much history errors were imprinted. History will correct present and future mistakes. This is not waste of time or money. Political killings and corruption started in this period of time. This is why this is critical.
I am very much interested because Aguinaldo ordered the murder of Bonifacio to steal the leadership. Yes, I am convinced, Bonifacio was the first true leader of the Philippine revolution - the first organized government (KKK).
From the history that I learned, he was called by Aguinaldo and went to Kawit Cavite for the elections of Katipunan officials. He was not even nominated due to lack of school education. He was so upset, felt insulted that he and his brother along with few independence fighters left, boycotted and dishonored the unfinished election. Then he was mysteriously ambushed on their way home by foot to Novaliches.Simula pa lang ng ating kasaysayan ipinakita na ang dayaan. Iyan ay ugat na hindi mawawala sa ating kasaysayan. Kahit na nga sa pambansang bayani, ang mga amerikano ang bumoto kay Jose Rizal para maging National Hero. Ayaw nila kay Bonifacio kasi isang radical na tao. Katulad din ng pag-alipusta o sa pag-discriminate sa kaniyang katauhan...dahil hindi nakapag-aral o hindi mataas ang pinag-aralan. Sumasalamin talaga sa ating kultura na ang mayayaman ang siyang may kontrol sa mga ating bansa.
Malungkot mang isipin marami sa mahihirap ay nabibili at nadadala sa simpatiya. Kailangang mamatayan para manalo at makuha ang minimithi...at isa pang sitwasyon dito sa atin ay ang makinarya ng mga telebisyon at ang mga magagaling na anchormen at newscasters. Isama na yung mga magagaling na reporter na lumilihis sa panuntunan. Kumbaga, mayroon silang kinikilingan at iyan ang katotohanan.
Kalokohan ang sinasabing walang pinoproteksiyunan at walang kinikilingan. Isa iyang malaking kasinungalingan dahil kung susuriin sa mga pahayag at mga komentaryo makikita mo ang mga gusto nila tingnan at suriin. Si Winiie Monsod, ang pagkadisgusto niya sa mga walang pinag-aralan na lalahok sa eleksiyon ang pambabastos niya kay Erap...kaya mas una munang tingnan o pagkatitigan yung mga tao sa loob ng pamunuan. Isa ako sa sumusubaybay sa "Katipunan" na nagpamulat sa aking isipan.
Dapat naman talaga siyang kilalanin bilang unang pangulo ng Pilipinas kasi siya ang nagpasimuno ng himagsikan kaya ngayon ay tinatamasa natin ang kalayaan at nabubuhay ng normal.. Panahon na para siya ay kilalanin dahil sa pagmamahal niya sa inang bayan. Mabuhay ka, Supremo! Ito ang katotohanan. Maraming mga lihim at kasinungalingan sa kasaysayan ang pilit na binabago at pinipilit para mabago ayon sa kagustuhan nila. Ang problema din sa mga historyador ay hindi sila tapat o prangka sa kung anu ang katotohanan na siyang magiging bahagi ng kasaysayan kaya sabi ni Gregoria de Jesus, "Matakot kayo sa kasaysayan dahil sa paghahayag nito ng katotohanan".
Clearly, Bonifacio was a great hero and Aguinaldo was a power grabber, opportunist, isang dakilang traydor! Aguinaldo ordered the killing of Bonifacio and Gen. Antonio Luna and hundreds of unknown Katipuneros during Fil-Spanish war. Aguinaldo should have the title of father of the trapos. Its time to correct the history written in books so the the old and new generation wont be ignorant anymore.
Ang pulitika noong panahon nila Aguinaldo at Bonifacio ay patunay na may mga taong handang mang-gago ng kapwa Pilipino para sa sariling kapakanan sa ngalan ng pulitika kaysa sa ipinaglalaban ng bayan. Hindi baleng malaking gastos ang dulot ng pagbabago nito sa ating kasaysayan bastat maipahayag lang natin sa mga kabataan at sa susunod na henerasyon ng kabataan ang tungkol sa katotohanan ng ating kasaysayan.
Ang problema pa, sariling kababayan pa natin ang gumahasa sa asawa ni Bonifacio, at nilitis si Bonifacio na wala man lang abogado. Naturingang may pinag-aralan ang mga taga-usig at malamang na alam nila ang impluwensya ng karapatang pantao at mga aral ng French at American revolution pero nilitis nila si Bonifacio na may kawalang katarungan.
Hindi ba't isang kahihiyan sa ating bayan at kasaysayan na ang taong pinagmulan ng pagbabago sa pamamagitan ng dahas at pinaslang ng mga taong sa una'y sumuporta at sa bandang huli ay nag-traidor sa kanila? At hanggang sa ngayon, wala pa ring linaw kung saan ba sa Marogondon siya ipinapatay. Ang naturang halalan noon ay nagpapatunay na likas talaga sa mga Pilipino ang pagiging pasaway at ayaw mag-isip na ang taging layunin ng K.K.K. ay paglaya sa bansa.
"Cleaning our past is cleaning our moral grounds" Kaya "kurap" ang pulitika ay dahil may kasaysayan silang itinuturo at kaya walang maparusahan at nanatiling tulala at tahimik ang taumbayan dahil sa pananaw na "noon pa naman may kurapsyon at kinikilala pa ngang unang pangulo (Emilio Agunaldo)". Kung malilinis ang kasaysayan, malilinis ang kunsensya nating maghabol at ipaglaban ang walang dungis nating pinagmulan.
Will this change anything? Kay Andres Bonifacio, "Bayan ang Hari" Kay Andres Bonifacio, May mabuting budhi at dangal ang tao... Kaya si Andres Bonifacio bilang Unang Pangulo ang magbabalik ng hiya at kunsensya sa lahat ng Pilipino. Samakatuwid, Oo mababago nito ang bayan, ang sistema at ang bansa!
Ang katuwiran ng mga maka-Aguinaldo ay malaking halaga ang gagastusin upang baguhin ang sitwasyon ng kasaysayan sa mga libro. Hindi mahalaga kung ilan ang mga school history textbook ang babaguhin. Ang solusyon ay huwag ng maglimbag ng mga luma at bulok na libro ng kasaysayan bagkus ay gumawa ng tama at bagong libro ng kasaysayan. Ang mabahong libro ay ipunin at itambak sa bahay ni Aguinaldo sa Kawit, Cavite bilang simbolo ng huwad na kalayaan gawa ng pakikipag-sabwatan niya sa mga kolonyalistang bansa. Magkano nga ba niyang ibinenta ang bayan ng siya ay magpahuli sa mga Amerikano upabg pag-bakasyunin sa Hong Kong? Magkano tinanggap niya sa mga dayuhang mananakop upang patayin ang dakilang Gat Andres Bonifacio?
Bonifacio should be the national hero and the first president. He was the very core founder of our self determining government. Viva el Bonifacio. Jose Rizal is a great Filipino romanticist and novelist. He should be regarded instead as the Father of Philippine Literature.
Mga Amerikano ang nagdeklkara bilang National Hero kay Rizal, at naisa-batas ito sa ilalim ng pamumuno ng bansang amerika sa Pilipinas! Mga 1905 yata ito kung di ako nagkakamali. Pero sa pamantayan ng mga Amerikano si Bonifacio talaga ang dapat na maging National Hero at hindi si Rizal. Pero mas pinili pa rin nila si Rizal dahil sakop tayo ng Amerika noon at nangangamba ang Amerika na maghimagsik ang mga pilipino laban sa Amerika at tularan nila si Bonifacio at kalabanin ang Amerika kaya si Rizal na lang ang kanilang pinili.
Pero sa ngayon, kahit tanungin ninyo pa ang sino mang historian na Amerikano ukol sa Pilipinas ay si Bonifacio ang dapat national hero natin at hindi si Rizal! Noong nagkaroon na kasi ng saligang batas ang Pilipinas at binuo ang mga ahensya ukol sa history ay kailangan na maisabatas ang mga bagay na ukol a pagka national hero oh ukol sa history ng unang presidente ng Pilipinas! at diyan naging tuso at ganid si Emilio Agunaldo.
Si Aguinaldo ay di pinapansin ng Amerika bilang bayani o bilang lider ng bansang Pilipinas dahil alam na alam ng mga Amerikano ang karakas ni Aguinaldo na ganid, duwag at sakim. Noong nagkaroon ng kauna-unahang botohan ng presidente sa Pilipinas noong 1935 ay tinalo ni Manuel Quezon si Emilio Aguinaldo, kakampi ni Quezon ang Amerika that time at kalaban ng Amerika si Aguinaldo!
Wala nga sa talaan ng history at di pinapansin ang makasariling pagdedeklara ng kalayaan ni Aguinaldo sa Kawit, Cavite. Kalayaan lang sa Kawit, Cavite iyon dahil sa iba't ibang probinsya ay wala pang kalayaan at patuloy pa rin ang labanan. Kaya bale wala sa mga Amerikano ang kalokohang pagdedeklara ng kalayaan ni Aguinaldo sa Kawit na puros taga- Cavite ang nag-si-attend!
Pero tuso talaga at sakim si Aguinaldo at hindi nagpapatalo. Noong ideklara ng Amerika ang tunay na kalayan ng Pilipinas noong July 4, 1946 ay lalong nag-ngitngit sI Aguinaldo. Ang July 4, 1946 talaga ang tunay na Independence day ng Pilipinas! Iyan ay pinagdiriwang ng ating mga lolo at tatay.
Kaya mula noon dinikitan na ni Aguinaldo at ng kanyang lahi ang mga pulitiko at sino mang nagiging presidente ng Pilipinas. Lalong-lalo na nang maging presidente na si Diosdado Macapagal na kaanak ng dati niyang matapat na tauhan noon. Sa katusuhan ni Aguinaldo ay sinamantala niya na diktahan si Macapagal at sa panahon ni Macapagal, isinabatas na si Aguinaldo ay kauna-unahang presidente ng Pilipinas at ang June 12, 1896 ay naisa-batas din sa panahon ni Macapagal bilang Independence day ng Pilipinas.
Ganyan katuso si Aguinaldo ang di lang nagawa ni Aguinaldo at ng kanyang lahi ay ang isabatas at ideklara si Aguinaldo bilang national hero. Kasuklam-suklam na ito. Matapos mamatay ni Aguinaldo noong panhon ni Macapagal. ay nagbilin ito na protekthahan ang mga batas na ukol sa kanya. Kaya kahit patay na si Aguinaldo ay patuloy pa din dumidikit ang lahing Aguinaldo sa kung sino mang nagiging presidente ng Pilipinas. Kagaya ng kay Marcos si Cesar Virata at iba pang kaanak nila ay kaalyado ni Marocs at nanungkulan sa gobyerno.
Pag-upo ni Corazon Aquino, Fidel Ramos at Joseph "Erap" Estrada, ganoon din... kinaalyado din nila ang mga ito. Lalong-lalo na noong umupo si Gloria Macapagal Arroyo na kaalyadong-kaalyado nila noon pa ang pamilya! Ganyan katuso ang lahing Aguinaldo. Ganyan sila kasakim at mandaraya! Kaya panahon na upang baguhin ang lahat at itama ang history ukol kay Bonifacio, Rizal, at Aguinaldo!
Actually, this is a very strange issue. Bonifacio was never elected to the office of President of the Philippines, He was a great leader of that group of freedom fighters against the Spanish, and was elected by the group to be their President but he was never elected by the entire Philippine Nation. The first truly elected President of the Philippines was Emilio Aguinaldo from 1899-1901. This was during the Spanish/American war in which the United States won the Philippines from Spain and they controlled the country from 1901-1935 when the 2nd truly elected President of the Philippines Manual Quezon from 1935-1944.
Let us not keep twisting our history, let it be. Our history was written by scholars who lived amongst those people who witnessed closed at hand what the real fact was, during those times. you should be more concerned on changing the future history of our country for the betterment.Let's start within ourselves. Why we always blame the government. Look what happened to the Luneta Park after Christmas day. Its all messed up and untidy because of irresponsible people. Mga dugyot! Kaya mga Pinoy lalong naging tamad at pasaway kasi nasobrahan tayo sa democracy. Hindi marunong sumunod sa batas.
Historical data shows that this is a fact. Before Emilio Aguinaldo, KKK was already a government with a President and a system. BAKIT HINDI? Kung maibabalik ni Andres Bonifacio bilang unang Pangulo ang Hiya at Budhi sa pagkatao ng Pamamahala dahil siya nga ay kinikilala bilang Unang Pangulo, gaano na lamang ito sa ikukumparang gastos sa pagbabago ng nasusulat?
WHY NOT? Congress has already spent so much on nonsense laws which weren't implemented pero kung ang pagkilos na ito ay may malaking dagok sa moralidad natin upang magising ang pagmamahal natin sa bayan, una na ng mga pulitiko upang mapatakbo ng maayos ang bansa, WHY NOT CHANGE IT? Ang dami nang isinugal ng kongreso na pondo para sa mga walang kwentang batas, may nabago ba? Hindi ba dapat nating itong mas unahin? SI GAT ANDRES BONIFACIO NA BAYANI AT MAY DANGAL ANG MARAPAT NA UNANG PANGULO!
This is a great resolution but it's too late now. It would change history eventhough Bonifacio is already recognized as one of the greatest hero and freedom father of the Philippines. I myself appreciate everything he did for our country, I salute him until death. However, I would prefer to demand for a resolution involving timeliness, the one that would respond to crisis or eradicate graft and corruption.
What? Put the Great Plebeian with the likes of Ferdinand Marcos, Gloria Arroyo, Erap Estrada and Noynoy Aquino?
I doubt that resolution will uplift our countrymen's plight. They will waste hours and money deliberating this issue. It maybe right, but it may not directly impact the quality of life of the Filipinos.
I think that this is just a waste of time for the government to recognize bonifacio as the first filipino president. Instead of doing this kind of thing.. use their time to search for the corpse of bonifacio which today has not been found or just govern philippines in a clean way so that our heroes who killed just to protect our country will be proud. There are more lot of problems that needs resolution.
ReplyDelete@Martha,I think you need to look in to what is possible or not... also to what will be right and proffer in accordance to our history...
ReplyDeleteTo find human remains after 120 years in the ground is almost impossible, depending on the ground in which it is left, second NO ONE INVÓLVED IS / WAS WILLING TO TALK about the location.....
So how will you look for the remains, this is a very sensitive thing as we the close family of course will love to retrieve the remains of our beloved Andres, but the one who took his life don’t like us to find the remains why? we can only guess but we strongly believe it have to do with the way he was assassin... by gun shot, but also by so many stab wounds…..
Second issue of your posting...
What will you tell your children... that you like so many others don’t care to correct one of the biggest wrongs of Philippine history? You don’t like to set the record straight?
How can you ask the government to lead the country in their right and proffer way when there is still so many problems to be put straight, how can you ask for the truth when your life is based on a liar?
Kindly look at it with a wide and open mind...
I´m only 3 generation after Andres Bonifacio, and so many of my family still remember many things from the time... They have not had the chance to work on correcting this wrong.
if you read the history He was the leader and had an interim government, representatives all over the country, like senators, the Spanish, had already accepted him as they addressed him in different documents as El President! And he is and will in so many important peoples mind be the first president of Philippines.
Why? He was the true leader of KKK, and they tried to fake an election to remove him from the board of KKK... and it FAILED.
Then they tried to put him on trial for treason under the election THEY faked....?
Only to later let him to be taken away for execution by a secret letter, in the far away mountain?
Sorry this smels worse than smoky mountain, of political gread and power hunger.
What happened to the KKK after his was gone, the failed one battle after the other and surrendered sold out for money.
NO do as the lord said, to the merchant who complained about the taxes, give to Cesar what Chairs is.
Thanks for writing this article. I just broke up with my boyfriend of several months
