TRIVIAS: 1. Melchora Aquino was a Filipino revolutionary and was also known as Tandang Sora.
She aided the Katipuneros, especially when the Revolution broke out.
Her store served as a make-shift hospital where she provided medical care for sick or wounded revolutionists. She also provided food, shelter, encouragement, and prayers for the soldiers, even hosting 1,000 men in her home's yard during the Cry of Balintawak.
3. Emilio Jacinto y Dizon wrote the Kartilya ng Katipunan. He was an eloquent and brave young man, known as both the soul and the brain of the Katipunan, Andres Bonifacio's revolutionary organization. In his short life, Jacinto helped to lead the fight for Filipino independence from Spain. He laid out principles for the new government envisioned by Bonifacio; in the end, however, neither man would survive to see the Spanish overthrown.

6. Without access to formal schooling, Andres Bonifacio sought to learn as much as he could by reading pamphlets, liberal newspapers, biographies of the Presidents of the United States, books about contemporary Philippine penal and civil codes, international law, and classics such as Victor Hugo's Les Miserables, Eugene Sue's The Wandering Jew, and Jose Rizal's Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo. He was fluent in three languages: Tagalog, Spanish, and English. Most of the books and materials he consumed were written in foreign languages. These contraband books and newspapers were most likely smuggled into the country.
