dapat icomm na lang yung sentence pero

eventually dahil nga si bono yung

kumbaga being the person who first

organized the and led the Revolution sa

halip

na kamatayan yung ipataw i-compute kaya

lang dahil na rin sa sulsul nung mga

ilang Heneral ni Emilio Aguinaldo

pinatupad niya pa rin yung desisyon ng

konjo de guera na kailangang patayin

yung magkapatid basta kwentong Bonifacio

expert daw si atorne Gary paano ba naman

Nong si Procopio kailang mamatay si and

para consolidate nina Emilio Aguinaldo

yung pwersa ng Katipunan at mag-take

eh Ah sa kanyang memoir na sa ano si

Bonifacio ay ang taong pinapatay niya mm

Kasi kung hindi siya at si Bonifacio

Malamang siya ang mamatay kumbaga

inunahan lang ni aguinaldo si

Bonifacio Binaril ang magkapatid na

bonfacio at Procopio sa bundok buntis sa

bayan ng Maragondon sa Cavite sa

kabilang bundok nagpatong inilibing ang

magkapatid pero taong 1935 nadawit ulit

si Bonifacio sa isa na namang

eleksyon kadalasan tuwing halalan uso

ang siraan

example yung kalaban mo sa pulitika

kakalkalin mo yung mga baho nila

ilalabas mo yung litrato ng kanilang

anak sa labas o picture ng kanilang

kabit o kaya lalabas mo yung sali nila

Paano kaya nung eleksyon nung sinaunang

panahon h mga tol Matindi sila labasan

ng kalansay literal yan panahon pa rin

ng mga Amerikano mainit din ang eleksyon

para sa pagkapangulo ng Commonwealth

government ng pilipinas

pinahukay daw ni manuel quezon ang mga

buto ng Supremo sa Maragondon Cavite

para i-display sa National Museum

pinahukay yung buto one siguro for

historical purposes and at the same time

it was used by Quezon for political

purposes kasi remember si Quezon at si

Emilio Aguinaldo ang

naglaban sa pagkapangulo ng Commonwealth

ayon sa istoryador na si jose Victor

Torres secret weapon daw ni Quezon

versus Aguinaldo ang mga labi ng Supremo

nga naman ungkatin mo ba naman ang isang

madilim na issue ng nakaraan tungkol sa

taong hinatulan mo ng kamatayan nung

tumakb talaga si General Aguinaldo na

presidente sa para sa Commonwealth no

akala kasi ni Quezon kanya na talaga

eung he knew he would win but in order

to succeed in that he has to really

slander is ano is mad slinging Yung

kanyang kalaban no ang talagang mga

ikakabit na issue talaga kay kay

Aguinaldo was yung pagkamatay talaga ni

B fashion kaya ah lumabas nga itong

kwento na na ipinarada nga daw

i Manuel Luis kon fulfill my duties as

president of the philippin meron ngang

litrato roon na sinasabi niya na ito

nagpapatay dito ito si bip Itong mga

buto na to naging circus kung si Quezon

Ay ano ay talagang naghahanap sa

katotohanan ay ah Dapat duman sa batas

ayon sa abogado siya at saka duman sa

ayon sa agham kas ano kahit na wala pang

DNA noon eh Siguro maano mo macross

reference mo yung mga eyewitness

accounts ang bigotilyong taga Tondo na

si Guillermo Masangkay na dati ring

katipunero ang incharge sa opisyal na

kiting na atasang hukayin ang mga labi

ni C Andres

Pero teka may pagdududa kong totoong

buto nga ng Supremo yon kung may

nakakaalam man kung saan nilibing ang

supremo ito'y si Lazaro

Macapagal ang leader ng squad ng mga

katiponero na inutusan ni aguinaldo na

patayin si Bonifacio in the first place

yung pinagkuhanan nung buto taliwas ito

sa testimonya ni Lazaro makapagal hindi

yun yung lugar kung saan sinabin si B

Faso at nilibing pangalawa yung

examination na ginawa sa

University of the Philippines sa Medical

School hindi sukat sa edad ni bif bif po

pangatlo Bakit isang set lang ang nakuha

ang testimonya ni makapagal e nilibing

nila ng Sabay yung

magkapatid pero parang kumbinsido naman

ang apo ni Bonifacio na sa lolo nga niya

talaga ang mga buto na

yon May mga ilang historians na

nagsasabing hindi yun yung buto pero

nung Nahukay yung buto nagkaroon ng

Congressional inquiry pinatotohanan

nina buo at n Guillermo masal silang

nagpatotoo na itong butong ito ay kay

Andres ito pa isang tanong kung totoo

nga ng mga buto ni bonfacio yung nakita

nila Supremo ang tanong ngayon

asan yung kalansay

ni si

Procopio kahit nung buhay si makapagal

hanggang sa siya Mamatay wala naman

siyang sinabi kung saan nila itinapon

yung bangkay e ni Procopio at ni andr

kasi ang alam ko may accounts non na

pagkabaril sa kanya si Bonifacio ang

tinaga tapos ang nilagyan lang ng hukay

ay yung kay bono nak mukhang kakailangan

natin ng powers ng soko para mapatunayan

kung mga buto nga ba talaga ni Bonifacio

ang Nahukay nng

1918 Paano nga ba siya pinatay sa ba

sinaksak o

binaril sokko kento n mga lolo lolo ko

pinapatay si Andres sa pamamagitan ng

taga babarilin siya pero ang may nagsabi

wag Sayang ang bala pinagtataga hanggang

sa

mamatay ang binarel si procopia

Bonifacio konting duda pa rin ako dahil

una forensic kapag sinaksak mo isang tao

pumipila daw sinaksak no So can you

Imagine yung dugo na na dumal no at

napilan ikan yung mga taong pumatay pero

pag Tinignan mo yung testimonya ni

makapagal na pinish ni Agoncillo n

nakita daw nila si Gregor de Jesus ang

unang tinanong ni Gregor de Jesus ay

Nasaang Tao po yun na nakakaistorbo E

wala yung ebidensya doon hindi binanggit

kaya hindi ako naniniwalang ano e

sinaksak it's just that kung binaril

which is mas

masakit Teka muna Teka muna nakakapagod

na nasan na nga ba yung mga Nahukay ng

butaw ni

Bonifacio Alam mo ba kung nas

napakamalas naman talaga Nong si Andres

Bonifacio isipin mo naulila ng maaga

namatayan ang unang asawa pinapatay at

higit sa lahat kung paniniwalaan mo yung

teorya ng maraming istoryador hindi pa

raw makita ang mga

sa aklat ni ambeth Ocampo na bones of

contention May tatlong posibleng sinapit

ang mga buto ng Supremo una Nanakaw daw

mula sa templo ng legar Del trabaho sa

askaraga Maynila Nong

192 ikalawa ayon kay galero masangay

inilagak ito sa National

Museum pero kasama itong nasira n World

War Ayon daw isang Dr de los angeles na

cremate at nasa ilalim ng Monumento sa

Caloocan pero ultimong ang direktor noon

ng National Library na si epifanio deos

Santos o si Mr EDSA himself ay nagc as

true and authentic ang mga buto kahit

marami paang kong may keston dito based

din sa mga findings lahat na

naidokumento

nag-conclude si iano de los Santos na

yung butong nahukay sa Maragondon at ung

butong nakita sa don sa building ng Los

veteranos de la Revolution ay iisa at

ito ung buto ni Andres Bonifacio Yun nga

lang sabi ng libro ni ambeth Ocampo ang

nag-appoint kay Delos Santos ay walang

iba kundi si Manuel Quezon ang may

pakana na hukayin ang mga buto ni

bonfacio para siraan si

Aguinaldo ang ending tanging ang marker

na ito lang sa sa Maragondon Cavite ang

may totoong kinalaman sa kamatayan ni
