Fort Andres Bonifacio is the national headquarters of the Philippine Army (AFP) and is located in Makati City. It is located close to the national headquarters of the Philippine Air Force (AFP). The camp is named after Andres Bonifacio, the revoulutionary leader of the Katipunan.
Originally known as Fort McKinley, it was a 25.78 square kilometre property acquired by the United States government during the American colonial period. The site was turned over to the Philippine government and renamed Fort Bonifacio on May 14, 1949. It then became the headquarters of the Armed Forces of the Philippines.
