Hi, I cited one of your articles over at Filipino Voices:

Dean de la Paz's blog post "Our Filipinas."

OK, thanks baycas2, for helping articulate the case of our rightful hero, Gat Andres Bonifacio.

Ben Vallejo said...

Pangulo ng Katagalugan is Bonifacio hindi ng Filipinas!

Si Noynoy. Kung gusto natin ng satirika, pwede ito

P-Noy means President Noy! OK! Para sa mga Inglesero/a

Pe-Noy ay naman sa Presidente Noy!

Mabuhay ang PeNoy!

Ben, these satirical name-call suggestions are from two related Facebook pages (not mine):

_____ "If Marcos was "Macoy," Aquino "Tita Cory," Ramos "Tabako," Estrada "Erap," and Arroyo "Ate Glo," what should we call Aquino II? PE-NOY for "Presidente-Encomiendero NOY or POTA for President Of The Archipelago?" The US Secret Service call their President POTUS (President Of The United States)."

Replies:

_____ BA-NOY Benigno's Anak Noy

_____ Pinakamaganda POTA

_____ My name for the PCOS is Mongoloid. Period! :-D

_____ ...how about, Tangoy? Tanga (si) Noynoy...Well, this, for me, is much easier to write and remember, so personally, I will start using this acronym.Serious, no toothie grin here, Les.

_____ POTA na anak nga POTA?

_____ OK. think. Anong tawag sa bulakbol na abnormal pa? Bulabnoy?

_____ PANOY para pinagsmang panot at abnormal..heheh

After the Katipuneros launched the uprising against the Spaniards, the "Great Plebeian" hero set out to transform the secret national organization into an open and de facto revolutionary government. The founder of the Katipunan became the president and formed a cabinet composed of men he trusted, including Emilio Jacinto, Secretary of State; Teodoro Plata, War; Aguado del Rosario, Interior; Briccio Pantas, Justice; and Enrique Pacheco, as Secretary of Finance...

Surviving official letterhead communications dated 1897 point to Bonifacio's various designations that include being the "Supreme President, Government of the Revolution." Perhaps the most telling proofs come from non-partisan sources of the period. Nineteenth century Spanish historian Jose M. del Castillo, in his 1897 writing "El Katipunan" or "El Filibusterismo en Filipinas," describes the first national elections in the Philippines from which Bonifacio emerged as the President, and Plata, Jacinto, del Rosario, Pantas and Pacheco as cabinet officials. This is corroborated by the February 8, 1897 issue of the international publication "La Ilustracion Espanola y Americana" in its article about the Philippine revolution and which featured an engraved portrait of "Andres Bonifacio, Titulado 'Presidente' de la Republica Tagala,"**** clad in a dark suit and white tie.
