Pagpupugay kay Andres Bonifacio, masigasig na tagapagtanggol ng kalayaan, supremo at dakilang ama ng katipunan.  Siya ay ipinanganak sa Tondo, Maynila noong Nobyembre 30, 1863.  Dahil sa pag-ibigsa tinubuang lupa, siya ay sumapi sa La Liga Filipina at nagtatag ng katipunan, isang lihim na samahan na ang layunin ay makamtan ang kasarinlan ng Pilipinas sa rebulusyonaryong pamamaraan, sumulat ng mga makabayang tula at sanaysay na nagging batas ng diwang Malaya ng mga Pilipino.  Sa kanayang kabayanihan, ang panandang pangkasaysayang ito ay iniaalay ng madlang Pilipino sa kanyang karangalan sa pagdiriwang ng ikasandaang taon ng kanyang kabayanihan.
