MANILA, Philippines — On the 155th birth anniversary of revolutionary hero Andres Bonifacio, Vice President Leni Robredo said that Filipinos should remember Bonifacio’s life of “political activism.”“Bonifacio’s life demonstrates how an ordinary Filipino can do extraordinary things for the country,” Robredo said in a statement. “At age 14, he had to stop schooling to provide for himself and his family because of the death of his parents. Almost 15 years later, Bonifacio began his life of political activism,” the vice president said. "Meanwhile, laws legislation laborers have been calling for to be passed have not been passed like ending contractualization," he added. "For our workers trying to create a rich country, let's not stop our fight with what we're saying here," Tanada said.
