ABOUT THE WORK

Andres Bonifacio would be ordered arrested by Emilio Aguinaldo on April 27, 1897 in a bloody confrontation that would leave him and his brothers either wounded or dead. Bonifacio would be tried and then sentenced to death. Despite a public commutation of his sentence, Aguinaldo would send secret orders to dispose of the Supremo in the mountains of Marogondon.
