“On April 24, the day that Bonifacio wrote to Nakpil from Indang saying he was anxiously awaiting the outcome of the critical discussions Guevara was supposed to have in the north, Guevara was actually (according to the chronology of his memoir) in or around Indang himself, and had been there for two days. Even if he was not in the immediate vicinity of Bonifacio’s headquarters, he could surely have sent a messenger to convey his crucial news, and Bonifacio, his troops and followers could then have decided to move off either northward to the provinces of Manila and Morong or eastward into Laguna. Instead, they waited a while longer, and for Bonifacio, those additional days of waiting were to mean death".
