Where is Bonifacio’s bolo? | Inquirer Opinion
Looking Back
Where is Bonifacio’s bolo?
By: Ambeth R. Ocampo
Philippine Daily Inquirer9:06 pm | Thursday, December 1st, 2011 Posted by dmorcoso-->3 share
Where are the bones of Andres Bonifacio? That was the question posed in last Wednesday’s column, which prompted recently appointed National Library Director Antonio M. Santos to make an inquiry. The inquiry led to a dead end. In a gathering of librarians on Bonifacio Day, he said in jest that his predecessor Prudenciana Cruz probably ground these into vetsin for use in her kitchen.
Director Santos will be surprised to know that Bonifacio’s bolo was once in the National Library. He will be relieved to know that this bolo was lost or destroyed during the war. If I ask my students where Bonifacio’s bolo is located now, they will probably point to any of the many Bonifacio monuments throughout the country. This national hero is always depicted with a bolo.
On March 23, 1966 the Manila Chronicle ran a front-page story regarding a 21-inch bolo, with a grip fashioned from carabao-horn embellished with tiny stars. The bolo was allegedly owned by Andres Bonifacio. It was offered to the mayor of Manila then, Antonio Villegas, by a shady antique collector/dealer named Enrique P. Montinola for P100,000. Mayor Villegas consulted an anonymous “expert,” who examined the bolo and recommended its purchase at P70,000. At some point in the negotiations, Montinola threatened to sell the bolo to private collectors who were willing to pay more than the city government. One wonders what interventions were made by the National Museum, the National Library, or the National Heroes Commission in 1966 regarding this disputed historical relic. To complicate things, the authenticity of the bolo was questioned and it has since disappeared, just like the famous “Bonifacio Bones” excavated in Maragondon in 1918. The bones were brought to the University of the Philippines for examination and later displayed in the National Library and Museum where these disappeared in 1926.
In the 1938 “Catalogue of Paintings, Sculptures, and Historical Objects” published by the National Library Gallery of Art and History, three bolos are listed. One of these is described as follows: “BOLO OF ANDRES BONIFACIO (19th century) Bonifacio had this bolo with him when the Katipuneros gathered in Balintawak.” Unlike the other two bolos in the catalogue, this one had no assigned government property number because it was not donated to the museum. Rather it was on indefinite loan by a certain Isabelo Donato. When another “Bonifacio Bolo” surfaced in 1966, Alfredo Roces dug up the affidavit of Donato, stating as follows:
“28 August 1896, three days after the incident in Balintawak which ignited the revolution, Procopio Bonifacio, the brother of the hero and Donato’s friend, sought refuge in his home located at 189 Calle Soler, Tondo. Procopio was followed shortly by Andres Bonifacio and Emilio Jacinto. There, the hero left a bundle for safekeeping. Meanwhile, Donato, after some discussion with a neighbor, Mariano Gomez, decided that his house was not too safe a refuge for the Bonifacios, and so three days later, Andres Bonifacio and his companions were spirited to another home in Calle Lavesares, Binondo. After about a month’s stay, the refugees decided to leave for Cavite. On the night of their departure, a dinner was given in their honor in the house of Mariano Gomez. It was on the evening of their departure, after the dinner, that Donato returned to Bonifacio the bundle entrusted to him on the night the hero arrived in Donato’s house. Bonifacio opened the bundle that contained a pistol and a bolo, and, keeping the pistol, he said to Donato, ‘I give you this bolo because it would only be cumbersome to me.’ This bundle had been opened in the presence of Mariano Gomez.”
In his affidavit Donato also stated that the sister of Bonifacio and a certain Vicente Carmona were likewise present and could verify his claims. This so-called “Bonifacio Bolo” must have been in the Museum as early as 1918 because the Dec. 5, 1918 issue of the Spanish newspaper La Vanguardia, as quoted in the Roces article, had Acting Library and Museum Director Jose Escaler thanking Donato for his “voluntary gift” of the bolo. On Jan. 16, 1919, Donato made it clear to Escaler and the general public that the bolo was not donated but entrusted to the museum for safekeeping. It was a loan, not a permanent gift. This bolo was one of the casualties of the war. It was destroyed with the museum during the Battle for Manila in 1945. Whether someone had spirited it out before the museum was destroyed, or found it in the rubble afterwards, there is no record of the Donato bolo after 1945.
The 1966 Bonifacio Bolo peddled by Montinola was acquired from Espiridiona Bonifacio, sister of the “Supremo of the Katipunan,” on April 14, 1949 some eight months before she passed away. Montinola then produced the signed affidavits of Espiridiona’s sons, Mauro and Cesar Distrito, stating that their mother gave Montinola the bolo in gratitude for [financial] help because of government neglect for her welfare. This bolo can’t be located these days.
Where are these bolos today? If they would be found, can we be certain of their authenticity? Like holy relics they only gain significance depending on one’s faith. If you have faith then the bolos become genuine even if they are not. If you have no faith they can never become genuine even if they are authentic.

Looking Back
The mystery of Bonifacio’s bones
By: Ambeth R. Ocampo
Philippine Daily Inquirer12:52 am | Wednesday, November 30th, 2011 Posted by besguerra-->On Nov. 30, 1863, a boy was born in Tondo to Santiago Bonifacio and Catalina de Castro. In the church calendar the day 30 is marked as the feast of St. Andrew, so the child was christened Andres Bonifacio. During the Spanish period Nov. 30 was celebrated in Spanish Manila because San Andres was considered one of the heavenly protectors of the Walled City. It is still a holiday in our times because the nation honors Andres Bonifacio, one of our many national heroes, the Supremo of the Katipunan.
Some people make the mistake of declaring that Bonifacio is the “Hero of Manila.” That title rightfully belongs to Soliman who defended but lost Maynila, which was enclosed by wooden palisades, to the Spaniards in the 16th century.
Our history can often be confused and confusing because we keep changing the titles of our heroes, just as quickly as we encounter changes in our street names. Epifanio de los Santos Avenue or Edsa has been with us for a while, its name “sanctified by usage,” its name recorded in history as the site of People Power I and II. Now a well-meaning lawmaker, without complete staff work, proposes to rename Edsa to CCAA or Corazon C. Aquino Avenue. To complicate matters further, Cory happens to be the sainted mother of the incumbent President.
We know that Jose Rizal is buried under the Rizal Monument in Luneta, Emilio Aguinaldo behind his mansion in Kawit, Apolinario Mabini in Batangas, and Juan Luna in a crypt at San Agustin Church in Intramuros. Gregoria de Jesus is joined by many other historical people in the Manila North Cemetery. But where is Bonifacio buried? The Supremo has not been accorded a proper burial because we do not know where his remains are.
Some bones exhumed in Maragondon, Cavite, in 1918 were said to be Bonifacio’s. I never believed these to be authentic because history tells us that Andres and Procopio Bonifacio were executed in Maragondon on May 10, 1897. A revolutionary court found them guilty of treason and sentenced them both to death. The brothers Bonifacio were buried in the same grave, yet only one set of bones was exhumed in 1918. If these are indeed the remains of Andres Bonifacio, where are the remains of Procopio? If these are the bones of Procopio, then where are the bones of Andres?
It is widely believed that the so-called Bonifacio bones exhumed in 1918 were deposited in the National Library and Museum, where they were lost or destroyed during the Battle for Manila in 1945.
There is another story that says these bones were interred at the base of the Bonifacio Monument in Caloocan, the masterpiece by Guillermo Tolentino that has given its name to the place everyone knows today as “Monumento.” A certain Dr. Servando de los Angeles claimed that after the bones were examined and “authenticated” by Dr. Sixto de los Angeles (the relation between the two is not known), they were cremated and deposited under the Bonifacio Monument, which was completed in 1933.
Guillermo Masangkay claimed that the bones were kept and later destroyed in the Legislative Building in 1945.
If we follow the bones, as reported in the newspapers, these were exposed for veneration by the public in the Temple of the Legionarios del Trabajo at the junction of Azcarraga and Soler in downtown Manila, until Manuel Quezon caused them to be transferred to the National Museum where they were destroyed during the World War II.
Then there was an item in The Independent of March 6, 1926, entitled “Desaparicion de los restos del gran plebeyo?” that stated:
“The most salient note of the week is the mysterious disappearance of the remains, supposed or authentic, of Andres Bonifacio which were deposited in the Templo de Jerusalem de los Legionario del Trabajo after it arrived in Manila from Maragondon, Cavite, where they were exhumed three months ago (sic).”
“No one knows for sure where the thief brought the remains of the Great Plebian, but we remember the discussion and conflicts that were exchanged upon the transfer of the remains to Manila. While the Veteranos de la Revolucion maintain that these remains are not Bonifacio’s, others affirm, among them the bibliographer Epifanio de los Santos, that they are authentic. The police are engaged in the corresponding investigation.”
I believe these controversial “Bonifacio bones” disappeared because they would not have withstood closer scrutiny. The last time they were seen was in 1926 in the Temple of the Legionarios del Trabajo. Where are they now should not matter because the Bonifacio brothers lie somewhere in the Maragondon mountain range waiting to be found and exhumed. Only then can the Bonifacio brothers be given a proper burial with full state honors.
When we make floral offerings and speeches at the Bonifacio Monument in Caloocan or the Bonifacio Shrine in Manila, we commemorate a hero before empty graves.

On Nov. 2, 1976, Jimmy Carter defeated the Republican incumbent Gerald R. Ford, becoming the first United States president from the Deep South since the Civil War.
Mr. Carter, a Democrat and former Georgia governor who had served just one term, and a peanut farmer from a small town, was an unlikely candidate. The Nov. 3 New York Times reported that his aspiration to become president was initially “dismissed as an absurdity by the elders of his party.”
He began “as a lonely campaigner, short on money, staff and national recognition. But he was relentless in his early effort, meeting voters in two’s and three’s, and it slowly began to pay off” and he won a surprise victory in the primaries.

On Oct. 28, 1886, President Grover Cleveland dedicated the Statue of Liberty, a gift from France, in New York Harbor. In that day’s edition, The New York Times described the building excitement for the ceremony: “All day yesterday people came to the city in droves to participate in to-day’s celebration. Extra heavily loaded trains, much behind schedule time, were the rule on every railroad entering the city. Every hotel was crowded to its utmost capacity last night, and there was hardly one of the better known hotels which did not have to turn away hundreds of would be guests.”

After securing a peace treaty with the Palestinian Liberation Organization in September 1993, Israel next sought peace negotiations with Jordan. The two nations reached an agreement in July 1994 to end the “state of belligerency” between them that had existed since Israel’s founding in 1948. Each side pledged to seek peace after “generations of hostility, blood and tears and in the wake of years of pain and wars.”

Sino si Al Capone?
Kilala niyo ba si Al Capone? Alamin kung sino siya sa isang artikulo mula sa The Learning Network ng New York Times. Panoorin din ang isang trailer ng pelikulang 'The Untouchables', na ukol kay Al Capone.
United States Department of Justice This mug shot of Al Capone was taken four months before his tax eviction conviction on Oct. 17, 1931.
On Oct. 17, 1931, Chicago mobster Al Capone was convicted on five of 23 income tax evasion counts he faced, and which later yielded an 11-year prison sentence. During the trial, Mr. Capone’s efforts to avoid a strict sentence were thwarted by Judge James H. Wilkerson, who refused to offer a lenient sentence in exchange for a guilty plea. Wilkerson also swapped out the jury after Mr. Capone tried to bribe the people who were serving on it. The Oct. 18 New York Times reported that Capone was oddly calm as the verdict was read: “Capone grinned as though he felt he had gotten off easily. … Capone faces a maximum of seventeen years’ imprisonment and $50,000 fine. He did not seem to realize that. He kept grinning at all and sundry in the court room, his bulky figure in a screaming green suit (one of the $135 ones) drawing all eyes toward him.”
Capone was a legendary figure in the Chicago underworld. He became a mob boss in 1925 and generated millions of dollars from gambling and bootlegging rackets. He brutally eliminated his rivals—most famously in 1929, when his men killed seven members of George “Bugs” Moran’s gang in the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre. He held, according to the Times, “undisputed control of all the illegal sources of revenue in the city and its suburbs.”
Capone’s actions made him an obvious target for federal authorities. Having been convicted in 1929 of a weapons charge, he used his influence to secure a comfortable prison cell in which to serve his short sentence. He was not so lucky the second time around: he was closely guarded in several prisons, including Alcatraz. He was released in 1939, but by then his health had seriously declined as a result of having contracted syphilis. He was unable to return to mob life and died in 1947.

On Oct. 12, 1870, Gen. Robert Edward Lee, best known for leading the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia in the Civil War, died. He was 63.
The Oct. 14 New York Times quoted the message that Gov. Gilbert Walker of Virginia sent to the General Assembly: “He died as he had lived, a noble example of the sublime principles and teachings of the Christian religion. He goes down to the tomb amid the lamentations of an affectionate and sorrowing people. Of exalted public and private virtue in his life and career, he filled up the full measure of our conception of a man.”

Basahin mula sa Learning Network ng New York Times ang ukol sa isang pangyayari na naganap 26 na taon na ang nakakaraan.
D. R. WalkerItalian cruise ship MS Achille Lauro, shown here around 1989, returned to service following the hijacking. On Dec. 2, 1994, it caught fire and sank off the coast of Somalia, killing two and injuring eight passengers.Historic Headlines
Learn about key events in history and their connections to today.
On Oct. 7, 1985, the Italian cruise ship MS Achille Lauro was hijacked by four members of the Palestine Liberation Front off the coast of Egypt in the Mediterranean. The hijackers took the more than 400 passengers and crew members hostage and demanded the release of 50 Palestinians from Israeli prisons.
The Oct. 8 New York Times reported: “The hijackers were quoted as saying they would blow up the ship if a rescue mission was undertaken. According to unconfirmed reports from Israeli radio monitors, the hijackers said they would begin killing the hostages unless their demands were broadcast on Egyptian radio and television.”
The following day, after the Syrian government refused to let them dock at the port of Tartus, the hijackers decided to execute one of the hostages: Leon Klinghoffer, a 69-year-old Jewish American, was tossed off the ship — in his wheelchair and in front of his wife, Marilyn Klinghoffer — after being killed.
The hijackers surrendered on the condition that they and the hijacking mastermind Abu Abbas be given a plane to escape. However, on Oct. 10, the plane was intercepted by United States military aircraft and forced to land at a NATO base in Sicily, where Mr. Abbas and the hijackers were arrested.
The American and Italian governments argued over jurisdiction to prosecute the hijackers. Italy would not extradite the men to the United States and, though it did convict the four hijackers, allowed Mr. Abbas to escape to Yugoslavia. He remained a free man until 2003, when he was captured by United States troops in Iraq; he died in custody the following year.
The Achille Lauro, meanwhile, went back into service as a cruise ship. In 1994, it caught fire while sailing off the coast of Somalia and sank. Two of the nearly 1,000 people on board died in the accident.
Connect to Today:
Today, there are many news stories of ship hijackings by pirates off the coast of Somalia, a country described by the Piracy at Sea Times Topics as one “of grinding poverty and internal chaos.”
What comparisons, if any, can you draw between the Somali pirates of today and the Palestinian gunmen who hijacked the Achille Lauro? How do their motives differ? How do the response and approach to negotiations differ? Given the increase in attacks in recent years, would you be willing to board a ship sailing near the East African Coast? Why or why not?

Student Opinion | Ano ang iyong Personal Credo?
Basahin ang isang artikulo mula sa Learning Network ng New York Times at sagutin ang mga sumusunod na tanong.
1. Ano ang Personal Credo ni Steve Jobs ?
2. Ano naman ang iyong Personal na Credo?
3. Paano ka nagagabayan sa iyong buhay ng iyong Personal na Credo?
Steve Jobs is being eulogized the world over as a leader, innovator and risk-taker whose mantras included the Apple motto “Think different.” What are your own guiding principles?
Numerous Times articles review the legacy of Steve Jobs, including Steve Lohr’s piece “Reaping the Rewards of Risk-Taking,” in which he characterizes Mr. Jobs as a role model who turned seeming failure into opportunity and then success. He describes the often-quoted commencement address Mr. Jobs gave to the graduating class at Stanford in 2005:
“It turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me,” he told the students. Mr. Jobs also spoke of perseverance. “Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick,” he said. “Don’t lose faith.”
Mr. Jobs ended his commencement talk with a call to innovation, in one’s choice of work and in life. Be curious, experiment, take risks, he said. His admonition was punctuated by the words on the back of the final edition of “The Whole Earth Catalog,” which he quoted: “Stay hungry. Stay foolish.”
“And,” Mr. Jobs said, “I have always wished that for myself. And now, as you graduate to begin anew, I wish that for you.”
And David Pogue describes Mr. Jobs’s vision this way:
Here’s a guy who never finished college, never went to business school, never worked for anyone else a day in his adult life. So how did he become the visionary who changed every business he touched? Actually, he’s given us clues all along. Remember the “Think Different” ad campaign he introduced upon his return to Apple in 1997?
“Here’s to the crazy ones. The rebels. The troublemakers. The ones who see things differently. While some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius.”
In other words, the story of Steve Jobs boils down to this: Don’t go with the flow.
Steve Jobs refused to go with the flow. If he saw something that could be made better, smarter or more beautiful, nothing else mattered. Not internal politics, not economic convention, not social graces.
Students: Tell us what you think about Steve Jobs’s legacy and what your own guiding principles are. What are your core beliefs? What would you say is your personal credo? How does that credo guide you in life?
