Officers and enlisted personnel of the Philippine Army (PA)
paid tribute to Katipunan founder Gat Andres Bonifacio as the Filipino nation
celebrated his 152nd birth anniversary on Monday.
A wreath-laying ceremony and commemorative program were held
at Libingan ng mga Bayani and the Bonifacio monument at the Headquarters
Philippine Army, Taguig
City
Present was Defense Secretary Voltaire Gazmin who was guest
of honor and speaker.
Paying tribute to Bonifacio's heroism, Gazmin recalled that
poverty was never an issue for the Katipunan founder to study, learn and
express his love for the country.
He said that while Bonifacio did not live to enjoy the
freedom he fought for, the Filipinos should always remember and live by the
example of the hero.
Meanwhile, Nerizza D. Gaco, a great granddaughter of
Bonifacio, who was present during the event, expressed her thanks to the PA and
the government for the continuing efforts in remembering the heroism and
sacrifices of the hero.
The activity was attended by officers and enlisted personnel
of Philippine Army major units and offices and civilian employees headed by
Army head Lt. Gen. Eduardo B. Año.
