Filipina Women's Network
presents the
"SHEroes Monologues"
written by Elena Mangahas & Nina Nguyen Lagac

Celebrating the Anniversary of
Philippine Independence Day
@ the FWN Salo Salo

Not much has been written about the Filipino women
of the Philippine Revolution.
Mostly mothers, wives and/or children of the Katipuneros, they followed their men, risking their lives on the battlefields and/or aiding the revolutionists in more conventional ways to advance the cause of freedom.

No More. Come to the Salo Salo on June 28 as we celebrate the SHEroes of the Philippine Revolution.

~ Hear more about these incredible Filipinas ~

Teresa Magbanua (1868-1947) - first woman general in the Visayas. An excellent horserider and sharpshooter, she fought many battles against Spain.

Agueda Kahabagan - fought in the battlefield of Laguna
"dressed in white, armed with a rifle and brandishing a bolo."
The 1899 roster of generals listed her as the only woman
general of the Philippine Republic.
