The setting of the story "Andres Bonifacio: Ang Unang Pangulo" is in the Philippines during the late 1800s, particularly around the time of the Philippine Revolution against Spain (1896–1897). The events often take place in areas like Tondo, Manila (where Bonifacio was born), and in revolutionary meeting places such as Pugad Lawin and other Katipunan hideouts. These locations reflect the historical backdrop of Spanish colonization, poverty, and the growing desire for independence.
