As a woman herself its hard to stand against the Spaniards who had all the powers during their time but she didn't showed any fear and still continued fighting. She led several attacks on Spanish forces but after several clashes,it was over. Her forces including her were all captured and killed. She was the last one to die and she witnessed how each of her men were killed.
I know it is painful to lost and be killed in a battle but in her case she made all the Filipinos proud because she died fighting for our country. She's a woman that knows how to fight not just for her own sake but for everybody's. She just proved that women are not worth underestimated.
She's known for her great courage. And now there was a group founded last 2000 that was named after and inspired by her that aims the demand for social justice ,equality,freedom and democracy among women.
SHE HAS BEEN AN INSPIRATION TO EVERYONE
AND KNOWING GABRIELA SILANG MAKES ME PROUD AND THANKFUL THAT I AM A "FILIPINO WOMAN"
