The Andrés Bonifacio monument with the 45-foot pylon and figures cast in bronze is located in Caloocan City, Metro Manila at the intersections
of Samson Road, McArthur Highway, Rizal Avenue and Epifanio de los Santos (EDSA) Highway. It is also the start of the line for the Light
Railway Transit (LRT) that begins at the Monumento Station (natch!) and leads all the way up to Baclaran Station in Pasay City.
Bonifacio Day is a National Holiday in the Philippines and is celebrated on the 30th of November (his birthdate).

This "Monumento" was designed and completed in 1933 by the country's National Artist for the Visual Arts (Sculpture) in 1973, Guillermo Estrella Tolentino http://www.globalpinoy.com/ch/ch_nationalartists_sub.php?name=Guillermo%20Estrella%20Tolentino&category=Visual%20Arts .
It is his sculptural masterpiece portraying numerous figures around an obelisk that includes events leading up to the formation of the
revolutionary group named "Kataastaasang Kagalang-galangang Katipunan ng mga Anak ng Bayan" or Katipunan/KKK for short http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katipunan led by Andrés Bonifacio.

The three steps leading to the monument represents the three centuries of Spanish rule (333 years), while the octagonal base with the 8 rays of
the sun from the Philippine flag symbolizes the eight key provinces (as written on the surrounding pavement) where Martial Law was first declared
by the Governor-General when the Katipunan held major uprisings there against the Spanish authorities - the very location of this monument
actually depicting the place of the first such encounter by Andrés Bonifacio and the Katipunan with the Spanish colonial army on August 3, 1896.

Don't forget to read and be shocked (!) by what the inscription on the commemorative plaque placed under the figure of Andrés Bonifacio has to say! :-o
