Bonifacio was born to Santiago Bonifacio and Catalina

de Castro in Tondo, Manila and was the eldest of five

children. His father was a tailor who served as a

tenyente mayor of Tondo, Manila while his mother was

a mestiza born of a Spanish father and a Fil-Chinese

mother who worked at a cigarette factory. As was

custom, upon baptism he was named for the saint on

whose feast he was born, Andrew the Apostle.

Bonifacio's normal schooling was cut short when he

dropped out to support his siblings after both their

parents died of illness. He sold canes and paper fans

he made himself and made posters for business firms.

In his late teens, he worked as a mandatory for the

British trading firm Fleming and Company, where he

rose to become a corregidor of tar, rattant and other

goods. He later transferred to Fressell and Company, a

German trading firm, where he worked as a bodeguero

(storehouse worker). Bonifacio was also a part-time

actor who performed in moro-moro plays.

Not finishing his normal education, Bonifacio was self-

educated. He read books about the French Revolution,

biographies of the Presidents of the United States,

books about contemporary Philippine penal and civil

codes, and novels such as Victor Hugo's Les

Misérables, Eugène Sue's Le Juif errant and José

Rizal's Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo. Aside

from Tagalog and Spanish, he could speak a little

English, learnt from his working for J.M. Fleming and

Co.[7]

Bonifacio was married twice, first to a certain Monica

who died of leprosy. He then married Gregoria de

Jesús of Caloocan in 1893. They had one son named

Andres who died in infancy of smallpox(Chickenpox).

Bonifacio was a Freemason and a member of the Gran

Oriente Español. Freemasonry Lodge No. 199 is named

after him. In 1892 he joined Rizal's La Liga Filipina, an

organisation which called for political reform in the

colonial government of the Philippines. However, La

Liga disbanded after only one meeting as Rizal was

arrested and deported to Dapitan in Mindanao.

Bonifacio, Apolinario Mabini and others revived La Liga

in Rizal's absence and Bonifacio was active at

organising local chapters in Manila. La Liga Filipina

contributed moral and financial support to Propaganda

Movement Filipino reformists in Spain.
