Andrés Bonifacio y de Castro was a Filipino revolutionary leader. He is often called "The Father of the Philippine Revolution", and considered a national hero of the Philippines. He was a co-founder and later Kataastaasang Pangulo of the Kataastaasan, Kagalanggalang na Katipunan ng mga Anak ng Bayan more commonly known as the "Katipunan", a movement that sought the independence of the Philippines from Spanish colonial rule and started the Revolution. Bonifacio reorganized the Katipunan into a revolutionary government, with himself as Pangulo (President) of a nation-state called Haring Bayang Katagalugan, also Republika ng Katagaluguan, wherein "Tagalog" referred to all those born in the Philippine Islands and not merely in Tagalog-speaking regions Hence, some historians have argued that he should be considered the First President of the Tagalogs instead of the Philippines; that is why he is not included in the official list of Presidents. Bonifacio was executed in 1897 by Major Lázaro Macapagal under orders of the Consejo de la Guerra led by General Mariano Noriel, on the basis of committing sedition and treason against the government.
