Here’s another historical OC of mine:

A Filipino duck farmer who’s secretly apart of the Katipunan during the late Spanish colonial period in the Philippines. He contributes by taking the role as a disguised courier to send out information and messages in his woven baskets.

LAKAMBINI is now showing in Philippine theaters! Let's support this historical film centering Gregoria de Jesus - also remembered as Ka Oriang.

The production had a very unique history that they incorporated into the movie itself. It's unconventional, but they were able to instead make it meaningful for the historiographical narrative of the film.

They also included activists and organizers from the women's organization Oriang!!! It's a nice way to include Ka Oriang's continuing legacy.

I hate how macho and male-centric our Philippine education is!

I just found out that Josefa Rizal, a disabled Katipunera, was also the President of the Katipunan's women's wing in 1893! According to historians, she experienced "bouts or attacks of epilepsy" (49).

Sana tinuturo ito sa Phil his! Bukod sa women's representation, mahalaga rin na makita natin na disabled folks were actively a part of the revolution!

Women have always held positions of power during precolonial times. The women's movement in the Philippines persists when the colonizers came. There are so many women who campaigned for the rights that we have the privilege of no longer fighting for today.

Sobrang daming magagandang naratibo sana ang nalalaman natin tungkol sa kasaysayan kung hindi lang masyadong nakakiling sa kalalakihan itong mundo natin.

FilipInfo Fact #11

The first iteration of the Philippine flag was created by the Filipino resistance group the Kataastaasan Kagalang-galang na Katipunan ng mga Anak ng Bayan or the Katipunan (en. Supreme and Honorable Association of the Children of the Nation; es. Suprema y Honorable Asociación de los Hijos del Pueblo), specifically commissioned by the president of the resistance and later President-dictator of the Philippines Emilio Aguinaldo.

It was sewn by Marcela Agoncillo, also known as the "Mother of the Philippine Flag", in her residence in Morrison Hill in Wan Chai, Hong Kong after Aguinaldo learned of her sewing skills when he met with her husband Felipe Agoncillo after they and other revolutionaries were exiled by the Spanish government over there which later led to the creation of the Hong Kong Junta. It is said that she asked assistance from her 7-year-old daughter, Lorenza, and her friend Delfina Herbosa de Natividad, who was the niece of Philippine hero Jose Rizal.

Founded immediately after the victory in the 1896 Battle of San Juan del Monte, the Kaholeros waged aggressive guerilla warfare against the Spanish forces, making them the most feared Katipunero force in the Revolution.

Our present situation remains delicate. If the imperialists sense our weakness, the People shall fall to jeopardy. Our victory must be now built from peaceable legitimacy. Today this struggle shall be both parliamentary and militant: the former shows our power facing the national bourgeoisie; and the latter to build the necessary foundations, both social and economic, for socialist revolution.

Catalina Bernardo, Sa aming manga kaibigang anak nang bayan, 1900

The spirit of the Revolution has finally reached its pivotal moment. Either we seize industry before the capitalists do and give the land entirely to the people, or we sully the blood and sweat we've made in those arduous four years. Either the Republic does it, or we will. And we must.

Tristan Bernardo, Speech to the Liga Radical Filipina, 1903
