When the secret of the Katipunan was exposed, Bonifacio and his men went to Balintawak. In August 26, the Katipunan and their brave leader Bonifacio, tore their poll taxes and waved their Red Flag as a sign of beginning of the revolt against the Spaniards. There was a misunderstanding when meeting was held at Tejeros, Malbon in 1877, Bonifacio was arrested and tried by the court of war. He and his brother Procorpio were sentenced to be shot at BUNTIS MOUNTAIN on May 10, 1897.

Borfacio's legacy to his mother country was democracy. He left us the lessons, we derived from his Decalogue:

One's desire is obtained by possessing coldness of heart. e.) Take care of the Secret of the Katipunan just as you take care of your own honor. f.) Save one who is in danger.
