History: Andres Bonifacio and procopio Bonifacio

Matapos ang 95 years, pinawalang sala sina Andres at Procopio Bonifacio.

1992, muling binuksan ang kaso sa korte suprema matapos ang 95 years, binusisi ito ni Supreme Court Justice Abraham Sarmiento, sa mga inilitag na ibidensya ng kasaysayan napatunayan na hindi dumaan sa tamang proseso at walang sapat na ibidensya laban sa magkapatid na Andres at Procopio Bonifacio ang kampo ni Emilio Aguinaldo.

Pinawalang sala ang dalawa noong November 27, 1992 ng korte suprema, walang pagtataksil at sedisyon o panunulsol laban sa pamahalaan na naganap, binaligtad din ni Justice Sarmiento ang Hatol na 'guilty' sa magkapatid na bonifacio. Mula sa huling bahagi ng isang dangkal ng kamay na desisyon; (sa wikang Ingles)

“As to the trial of Andres and Procopio Bonifacio, that the trial was null and void, the Council of War having deprived both accused of due process.”

“As to the evidence against the accused, that although the verdict of the War Council was based on no competent evidence, it is nonetheless a historical fact that Andres Bonifacio had sought to set up a rival government in defiance of the Tejeros Government”

“Declaring the accused innocent of the crimes for which they were tried.”

Ito ang patunay na kahit halos isang daang taon na ang lumipas ay kaya paring makamit ang hustisya na sana’y hindi pinataw ng mga taong sakim sa kapangyarihan at posisyon sa panahon ng rebolusyon. Isang bagay sa kasaysayan na hindi kailaman maitatanggi na isang ‘Political threat’ si Bonifacio.

33 years old si Bonifacio nang ito’y ipapatay habang si Procopio ay 23 na taong gulang lamang, sa gubat ng Maragondon sa Cavite pinaslang ng walang habag ang dalawa. Hinangaan ng lahat ang desisyong ito ni Sarmiento, dahil sa paraang ito, nalinis ang pangalan ng dalawa sa ating kasaysayan.

Fact: The first day of the 20th century was January 1, 1901; the year 1900 was the final year of the 19th century.

Lola Rading passed away last year at the age of 124. She was born in the municipality of Libacao, Aklan, while her husband hailed from Roxas City, Capiz. Together, they were blessed with nine children, five of whom are still alive and reside in Kalibo, Aklan.

Their livelihood was primarily farming, selling vegetables in the local market. This meant that Lola Rading frequently ate fresh vegetables from their backyard garden, a practice that likely contributed to her exceptional longevity.

Her husband passed away in 2007 at the age of 107, leaving behind five children, 53 grandchildren, 101 great-grandchildren, and 31 great-great-grandchildren. His sacrifices and hard work paved the way for the success of the entire family.

Lola Rading often imparted her wisdom with a simple but profound lesson: “Learn to get along with people, because this will be your capital for the future.”

For comparison, the longest documented and verified human lifespan in the Guinness Book of Records is that of Jeanne Calment from France, who lived 122 years and 164 days. Lola Rading, however, lived even longer, 124 years, 4 months, and 24 days, though her longevity was not officially recognized in the Philippines, as authentic records only began in 1930.

Lola Rading surpassed the lifespan of Francisca Susano of Negros Occidental, who lived 124 years, 2 months, and 12 days. However, Susano did not live to see the proclamation of President Bongbong Marcos.
