Bonifacio and the Katipunan Revolution Monument, Memorial sculpture in Mehan Garden, Manila, Philippines
The Bonifacio and the Katipunan Revolution Monument in Mehan Garden is a bronze sculpture created by Eduardo Castrillo that depicts Andres Bonifacio alongside other revolutionary figures. The composition arranges multiple figures together to tell the story of the Philippine independence movement through sculptural detail.
The monument was established in 1998 to honor Andres Bonifacio, who founded the Katipunan movement and led the Philippine Revolution against Spanish colonial rule. This memorial connects the early struggles for independence with the form it takes today.
The memorial shows the determination of the Filipino people through sculptural figures that reflect their struggle for freedom. Visitors can observe how the arranged figures convey the passion and commitment that drove the revolution.
The memorial is located within Mehan Garden in the Ermita district and is accessible to visitors interested in Philippine revolutionary history. It provides a good spot for learning and taking photos in a public garden setting.
The bronze figures are arranged not merely as individual portraits but to show the movements and emotions of the revolutionary group as a whole. This narrative arrangement allows visitors to grasp the story through the spatial composition of the sculptures themselves.
