    1. Develop your own list of historical figures that you consider to be national
    heroes. Justify your chosen list and recommend which historical figures
    may or may not fall within the criteria set by the National Heroes
    Commission.

    A. Gliceria Marella de Villavicencio:


    - Gliceria Marella de Villavicencio or simply known as “Aling Eriang”,
    is one of the fierce Filipinas who fought and supported Philippines
    Revolution at her time. She was called as the Godmother of the
    Philippines ever since she distributed generous amounts to make
    the Philippine Revolution possible. She assisted many Katipuneros
    and katipuneras by being one of the helpers who sponsored
    several revolutionary items and equipment especially the SS
    Bulusan which was one of the first warships that became the carrier
    of food and war supplies and was used also as a transportation for
    Filipinos. Moreover, Aling Eriang gave Php 18, 000 to Jose Rizal to
    sustain the publication of his novels and La Solidaridad.
    - Aling Eriang’s financial support does not justify her worth to be
    considered as one of the Philippine heroes. She, as well, should be
    considered one for her humble attitude despite being born
    privileged. The fact that her advantages even in this time did not
    cloud her sight that our country must be set free from the Spaniard
    colonizers. Instead, she used it to support and be one of the people
    who served as the backbone of it.
    - Moreover, the danger of being part of this movement did not stop
    her from continuing what she started. Even though her very own
    husband got prisoned due to his part in the revolution as well, she
    did not betray the group that it even cost her and her husband’s
    safety. This much sacrifice is just one of the whole pictures of her
    contribution in order to have our own freedom.

    B. Trinidad Tecson:
    - Trinidad Tecson is one of the few women who actually held a gun
    and joined the fight in the Philippine Revolution. She is also
    bestowed as “Ina ng Biak na Bato”. This was when the Filipinos
    built a house in San Miguel, Bulacan to accommodate those who
    are injured from the war and she was appointed to organize it.
    Tecson encouraged several women to be part of this. This time, she
    was also able to protect the said place when the Spaniards came to
    ambush it.
    - Tecson’s role in the Philippine revolution did not stop there. She
    continued to fight alongside the Katipuneros and was able to
    participate in various rebellions to free cities around the Philippines.
    She traveled around the country, helping to reclaim lands, from
    Bulacan to Zamboanga, sacrificing her safety in exchange for our
    freedom.
    - Her courage, despite being a woman in this generation, did not limit
    her fighting spirit and showing her patriotism toward our country.
    Her skills in being a leader and great warrior in this era served as a
    symbol that a woman not only can serve at the back of the war, but
    can also be one of those who are in the front line. Her bravery,
    resilience and intelligence alongside her loyalty yielded her worth to
    be considered as one of our Philippine heroes.

    C. Teresa Magbanua:
    - Teresa Magbanua, like Tecson, is one of the women who held guns
    and fought alongside the Katipuneros. This started when the war
    took place in Iloilo. She became a general in a military group
    against the enemies. Her participation in the military was disagreed
    by people who are part of it as well as his husband. However, their
    opposition did not stop her from doing her work.
    - Aside from her battle, she also joined the war between the
    Philippines and America. At this time, Panay was almost taken over
    by the opposing country not until her military entered the town of
    Jaro with triumph in their hands. Her contribution to the military
    gave her the recognition to be a prominent part of the military.
    - Magbanua also took part in the World Way ||. Although she was not
    as involved as before, she supported the Filipino troop with all that
    she could. She sold most of her personal properties in pursuit of
    supporting the financial need of the Filipino army. Even after her
    husband’s death, she still insisted on selling their property in Iloilo
    and giving it to help the guerilla, before settling at her sister’s
    house. She died as a widow and childless but with the honor of
    being our hero.
    - Magbanua, is a few of those people who were able to participate in
    three generation wars that took place and initiated to took over the
    Philippines. The fact that being a woman, opposed by local military
    officials and her own husband with her fights alongside the military,
    did not stop her by proving that her gender will never stop her from
    serving her country in any way she could. Her contributions gave
    her the title of “Visayan of Joan Arc”.
