Our nation’s heroines

ISABEL CAMUS

MOST Filipinos are probably familiar with heroes such as Jose Rizal and Andres Bonifacio, who bravely fought for our independence. More than their personalities though, and more than their military or literary prowess, we commemorate the ideals they fought for. The sacrifices they made 121 years ago still serve as a symbol of their love of country and their devotion to the Filipino people.
