Philippine Unsung Heroes Nobody Remembers Part 2

Assalamualaikum w.b.t.

Hey guys, good morning! We are not finish yet exploring the heroes in Philippine. So lets continue with number 3 and 4! :)

3. Gliceria Marella-Villavicencio

Gliceria was strong enough to sacrifice
all  her life for Philippine country

Gliceria Marella-Villavicencio was born in 1852 she one of the woman in Philippine who supported the Revolutionary movement. Along with her husband, she helped disperse pamphlets and several copies of La Solidaridad to inspire people to take action.

After his husband imprisoned and then died due to failing health, Gliceria continued to support the army and also donated her own house and her ship, Bulusan, to General Emilio Aguinaldo.

The “Hero” moments came after Gliceria was tempted by the Spaniards to disclose details about the Katipunan in exchange of her husband’s freedom. However she refused to gave in and said that even though she loves her husband very much, she “would consider it insanity to carry his surname if I should obtain his liberty by betraying him and his cause.”

Here we can see the sacrifice Gliceria made to support the Revolutionary movement where she donated all her assets and even sacrificed her own husband.





4. Jaime C. de Veyra

Jaime gave all of his will to help promoted
independence from the United States

Last but not least, we'll gonna explore about Jaime C. de Veyra. He was the first director of the Institute of National Language, now Commission on the Filipino Language.

During his term, extensive studies of existing Philippine languages were conducted to select one as basis for the national language and to increase the patriotism spirits towards the Philippine's citizens. He was also one of the founding members of the nationalistic newspaper El Nuevo Dia. The newspaper vigorously promoted Philippine’s independence from the United States.










So I think that's all for the Philippine country heroes. I hope you guys can take it as one of the example to render a service for our own native country. See yaa! :)
