Letters written by Andres Bonifacio exposing the events surrounding the controversial Tejeros

Convention will finally be made available to the public.

Bonifacio's letters to Emilio Jacinto contained information as to how the election on March 22,
1897 was supposedly manipulated by allies of Emilio Aguinaldo.

"This is the first time the general public will see letters... He would discuss how there were
people plotting para matanggal siya as the rightful president and the father of the Katipunan,"
Leon Gallery curator Lisa Guerrero-Nakpil told GMA News' JP Soriano in a 24 Oras report on
Thursday.

At the Tejeros Convention, Aguinaldo wanted to dissolve the Katipunan and establish a
revolutionary government.

Snap elections were held and Aguinaldo was elected president while Bonifacio was voted
director of interior.

But Daniel Tirona, a member of the Magdalo faction loyal to Aguinaldo, protested Bonifacio's
election, saying he was not fit for the position.

In one of his letters, Bonifacio claimed that before the election, some members of the Katipunan
hailing from Imus said they should not be under the leadership of someone who was not from
Cavite.

Bonifacio hailed from Tondo, Manila while Aguinaldo was from Kawit, Cavite.

Guerrero-Nakpil said Bonifacio never received Jacinto's supposed replies to his letters.

"He wrote a second time again to Emilio Jacinto and dito mas detailed 'yung Tejeros
Convention. Still no answer... April 24, three days later he was arrested by Emilio Aguinaldo,"
Guerrero-Nakpil said.

Bonifacio and his brother Procopio were charged with treason. According to some historical
accounts, he was killed at Mt. Buntis in Maragondon, Cavite.

"Makikita talaga natin 'yung trahedya ng rebolusyon. At the end of the day ang nag-start, ang
nagbuwis ng buhay minsan nakakalimutan ng bayan," the art curator said.

According to the management of Leon Gallery, the letters have been authenticated as these
contain signatures of the Filipino hero.
