Despite being the founder why do you think Andres Bonifacio was not Katipunan’s first supremo?
Answers
Andrés Bonifacio y de Castro (Tagalog pronunciation: [anˈdɾes bonɪˈfaʃo], Spanish pronunciation: [anˈdres boni'fasjo], November 30, 1863 – May 10, 1897) was a Filipino revolutionary leader and the president of the Tagalog Republic. He is often called "The Father of the Philippine Revolution".[3][4] He was one of the founders and later Supremo (Supreme Leader) of the Kataas-taasang, Kagalang-galangang Katipunan ng mga Anak ng Bayan or more commonly known as the "Katipunan", a movement which sought the independence of the Philippines from Spanish colonial rule and started the Philippine Revolution.[5][6][7]Andrés Bonifacio y de Castro was born on November 30, 1863, in Tondo, Manila,[8] and was the first of six children of Catalina de Castro, a Spanish Mestiza, and Santiago Bonifacio,[9] an Alkalde[10] of Tondo.[4][11] He learned the alphabet through his mother's sister. He was later enrolled in Guillermo Osmeña's private school,[12][13] and learned English while employed as a clerk-messenger by a British firm.[14] Some sources assert that he was orphaned at an early age,[15][16] but, considering the existence of an 1881 record that has Bonifacio's parents listed as living in Tondo, it is disputed by others.[17]
