Day 29: Gabriela Silang (Part 1)

How does a woman, orphan, child of the north, and mestiza
Dropped in the middle of a forgotten spot in the Ilocos Sur
by providence, evangelize from pagan
Grow up to be a symbol for the women?

A woman leader, rises up despite the struggle
Got a lot farther, after her husband's assassination
continued the revolution
fought against oppression
by that time, she was the Joan of arc of the Ilocano
