Gregoria de Jesus’ account of the last days of Andres Bonifacio in her own handwriting

Far since it purportedly presents the Tejeros election as “rigged” in favor of Bonifacio’s rival, Emilio Aguinaldo.

After voiding the results of the election, Bonifacio, who launched the war of independence against Spain in 1896, was arrested by Aguinaldo’s men, tried for treason, and sentenced to death.

Aguinaldo later claimed that he had tried to commute the sentence, but it came too late, so Bonifacio and his brother were executed on May 10, 1897, in Maragondon, Cavite, in what historians have since called “the tragedy of the revolution.”

De Jesus, the supremo’s widow, later lived a life of impoverishment and persecution by Aguinaldo’s supporters.
