A busy street in Ermita, Manila was named after war hero Maria Orosa.

The street connecting Padre Burgos and San Andres is where UP-Manila is located. This is where she earned her degree in pharmacy. https://t.co/9ct95Am5GU

Aug. 26 is #NationalHeroesDay and #WomensEqualityDay. So it’s only right to give recognition to past and modern-day heroines who pushed for equality in the country: https://t.co/2ftRp1tXc9

Often, we forget that women were equally significant and played a major role in our nation building. The Filipina has always been a part of our history, and her stories deserve to be told.

This #NationalHeroesDay , we'd like to celebrate by giving attention to some of the lesser-known heroines in our nation's struggle for independence.

Agueda Kahabagan was the only female general in the army of the Philippine Republic. She was active in both the revolution against Spain as well as the Philippine-American War. Much about her, however, remains unknown.
