As we celebrate International Women's Day and Women's Role in History Month (National Women's Month), let us highlight the monumental heroism of Filipinas through our special feature!

Today, in commemoration of Gregoria de Jesus' 83rd death anniversary, we feature her bust by renowned Filipina sculptor Julie Lluch. It is part of a group of three she created in 2013 for the NHCP - Museo ng Katipunan-Pinaglabanan Memorial Shrine. Here, de Jesus hides a document from being detected by Spanish authorities--a role she fulfilled to protect the revolutionary movement led by her husband, Andres Bonifacio.

"Oriang", as she is known to those close to her, stood up against the Spanish regime by assisting the Katipunan through the handling of confidential documents for safekeeping. Oftentimes, according to her autobiography, driving in the dead of night in a closed-window vehicle, along the streets of Binondo, to move documents around. These courageous acts, paired with her dedication to the cause of the revolution, earned her a place in the pantheon of our nation’s heroes.

With the theme "Lead like the Babaylans, Filipinas!", we encourage women to be like Oriang and the babaylans of old--be heroes today and leaders of our community.
