    SHAM TRIAL AND EXECUTION:


    -After Emilio Aguinaldo "won" the rigged election
    at Tejeros, Andres Bonifacio refused to recognize
    the new rebel government.
    - Aguinaldo sent a group to arrest Bonifacio; the
    opposition leader did not realize that they were
    there with ill intent, and allowed them into his
    camp. They shot down his brother Ciriaco,
    seriously beat his brother Procopio, and some
    reports say that they also raped his young wife
    Gregoria.
    - Aguinaldo had Bonifacio and Procopio tried for
    treason and sedition. After a one-day sham trial,
    in which the defense lawyer averred their guilt
    rather than defending them, both Bonifacios were
    convicted and sentenced to death.
    - On May 10, 1897, both Procopio and Andres
    Bonifacio likely were shot dead by a firing squad
    on Nagpatong Mountain.
    - Andres was just 34 years old.

    ANDRES BONIFACIO'S LEGACY:


    - Some historians feel that Bonifacio has gotten
    short shrift, and should be set beside Rizal on the
    national pedestal.
    -Andres Bonifacio has been honored with a
    national holiday on his birthday, however, just
    like Rizal. November 30 is Bonifacio Day in the
    Philippines.
