On this day 1897, Philippine revolutionary leader Andres Bonifacio and his brother Procopio were executed at Mount Buntis in Cavite.
Mount Buntis is located in the municipality of Maragondon, Cavite province. According to the locals, it is called such because the mountain is shaped like a pregnant woman with Mt. Buntis forming the belly and Mt. Pico de Loro and Mt. Palay, Palay forming the face. Rising only for about over a hundred meters above sea level, mountaineers consider Mt. Buntis as a hill more than a mountain.
