We all 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 and including soldiers and former guerillas who served the country with
honor and beyond the call of duty were laid to rest at the Libingan ng Mga Bayani But where is
Bonifacio buried? The Supremo has not been accorded a proper burial because we do not know
where his remains are.
In the video, you will know all the details on how Bonifacio died and where could it be his
remain, some historians say it's in Maragondon Cavite where he and his brother executed on May
10, 1897 because of being found guilty of treason, both of them sentenced to death and were
buried on the same grave.
But in 1918 Manuel Quezon who are battling with Aguinaldo for the presidency order his men
to dig up the remains of Andres Bonifacio according to Jose Victor Torres a historian Quezon
used this issue as a secret weapon to win over Aguinaldo and later on display it in the National
Library and Museum However, during the liberation of Manila from Japanese military
occupation, the National Museum building was one of those bombed by the Americans, so the
Bonifacio remains were lost”
In the book of Ambeth Ocampo entitled Bones of Contention, she stated that there could be three
possible reasons for what happened to Bonifacio's remain first is the bones where steal in the
Temple of the Legionarios del Trabajo at the junction of Azcarraga and Soler in Manila
downtown in 1926.
Second is that according to Guillermo Masangkay the bones has been placed in the National
Museum but the bones were damaged during world war 2. Lastly it's in Monumento were in
1933 after the bones were authenticated by Dr. Sixto de Los Angeles, they were cremated and
deposited at the base of the monument.

But in the end, only the MARKER in Marigondon has anything to do with Bonifacio's death, the
details of his life are no longer matched in history and the monuments have not been given much
appreciation especially in Manila, sometimes inhabited by the homeless and often paved with
skateboards
We study history so we can get to know ourselves better but we must also accept the fact that the
past is sometimes a cruel and thorny alley full of shadows of secrets and questions for which
there is no answer even if we say so. that we are one of the absolute nation.
