    Andress Bonifacio was one of the founders and later the Kataastaasang Pangulo (Supreme President,

    Presidente Supremo in Spanish, often shortened by contemporaries and historians to just Supremo)[6] of
    the Kataastaasan, Kagalanggalang na Katipunan ng mga Anak ng Bayan or more commonly known as the
    "Katipunan", a movement that sought the independence of the Philippines from Spanish colonial rule
    and started the Philippine Revolution.[7][8][5]

    With the onset of the revolution, Bonifacio reorganized the Katipunan into a revolutionary government,
    with himself as President (Pangulo) of a nation-state called "Haring Bayang Katagalugan" ("Sovereign
    Nation of the Tagalog People" or "Sovereign Tagalog Nation"), also "Republika ng Katagaluguan"
    ("Tagalog Republic", Republica Tagala in Spanish), where in "Tagalog" referred to all those born in the
    Philippine islands and not merely the Tagalog speaking regions [9][10] Hence, some historians have
    argued that he should be considered the First President of the Tagalogs instead of the Philippines; that is
    why he is not included in the current official line of succession.[9][10]

    Bonifacio was executed by Major Lazaro Macapagal under the order of the Consejo dela Guerra (Council
    of War) headed by General Mariano Noriel in 1897 on the basis of committing sedition and treason
    against the government.[11][12]

    Early life and education

    Andrés Bonifacio y de Castro was born on November 30, 1863, in Tondo, Manila,[13] and was the first of
    six children of Catalina de Castro, a European Spanish Mestiza, and Santiago Bonifacio,[14] an
    Alcalde[15] of Tondo, a Chinese Hoklo Mestizo.[4][16] His parents named him after Saint Andrew the
    Apostle, the patron saint of Manila whose feast day falls on his birth date.[17][18] He learned the
    alphabet through his aunt. He was enrolled in Guillermo Osmeña's private elementary school[19][20]
    and also in Escuela Municipal de Niños on Calle Ilaya in Tondo. He reached third year in a private
    secondary school in Manila.[21]

    Some sources assert that he was orphaned at an early age,[22][23] but, considering the existence of an
    1881 record that has Bonifacio's parents listed as living in Tondo, it is disputed by others.[24] To support
    his family financially, Bonifacio made canes and paper fans which he and his young siblings sold (after
    they were orphaned, according to the traditional view).[25] He also made posters for business firms. This
    became their thriving family business that continued when the men of the family, namely Andres,
    Ciriaco, Procopio, and Troadio, were employed with private and government companies, which provided
    them with decent living conditions.[26]
