Rizal, though inspiring the revolution, said no to armed revolt not out of loyalty to Spain, but because he believed the country wasn't ready. Bonifacio, however, disagreed with Rizal's timing.
Two Faces of the Same Revolution00:01:31
The video concludes by stating that Rizal planted the ideas, and Bonifacio acted on them. They are presented as two faces of the same revolution, with Rizal reminding us that ideas shape nations, and Bonifacio emphasizing political adversity.
