Bonifacio Day is a national holiday in the Philippines, commemorating Andrés Bonifacio, one of the country's national heroes. It is celebrated every November 30th, which is the birth anniversary of Bonifacio. He was the founder and eventual Supremo of the Katipunan, a secret society that triggered the Philippine Revolution of 1896 against the Spanish Empire. The day is marked by ceremonies at the Bonifacio Monument in Caloocan and other places significant to Bonifacio. It is also a day of protests calling for government action, as activists believe that "Bonifacio would have supported the right to protest for important causes"
. Bonifacio Day is a time to honor and remember the actions of a hero who fought for the country's liberation from colonization, and it is also a day to learn and educate ourselves, as Bonifacio was self-educated and a role model for perseverance and continuous learning
