DOHA 30 November 2023 — The Embassy of the Republic of the Philippines in Doha is one with the Filipino community in Qatar and elsewhere in the world in commemorating the 160th birth anniversary of Andres Bonifacio.

According to the National Historical Commission of the Philippines, “[a]s one of the Philippines' national heroes, Andres Bonifacio co-founded the Kataas-taasan, Kagalang-galangang Katipunan ng mga Anak ng Bayan (KKK) in 1892 that sought to liberate the Philippines from Spanish colonial rule. It was through the KKK's initiative that the Philippine Revolution began. This movement ultimately led to the Philippines' independence from Spain in 1898.”

Bonifacio Day is celebrated annually on the last day of November.
