Andres Bonifacio, the leader of the revolutionary movement KKK (Kataas-taasang Kagalanggalangang Katipunan ng mga Anak ng Bayan), is one of the most celebrated Philippine heroes. His bravery and his role in achieving Philippine independence from Spain are publicly acknowledged through the many monuments dedicated to him, places named after him, and money that bears some resemblance to Bonifacio.
